One who died for our sins], or we can never be fitted for the presence of God. I do not know whether the boy knew by what means his sins could be washed away, for the train came rushing in before much more could be said. The Speaker, however, gave the boys one word as the best answer to the ques tion he had asked, and he spelled it on the fingers of one hand. Can you guess what the word was? It was “Jesus.” He Himself says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” , You know the way, probably. Are you walking in it? Have you come to Christ? Are you serving Him?— Signposts on Life’s Way. Answer to Bible Story Puzzle The story of Peter’s deliverance (Acts 12:1-19). New K . Y . B, C.

The W ay to Heaven B y I nglis F leming
In the waiting-room of a wayside station were eight or nine boys. They were wait ing for the train that would bring the evening papers from Glasgow. Ragged and rough the most of them seemed as they sat and talked and laughed one with an other. Suddenly their interest was aroused by the remark of a stranger to them. He had been standing by the fire chatting with a friend. Turning to the boys, he said to them, “I’ll give a penny to the boy who gives me the best answer to a question. The question is : ‘What is the way to heaven ?’ ”
At first a good deal of giggling took place, and the boys nudged - one another shyly. Encouraging them, the stranger said, “Now try; see who can get the penny. My friend here shall say which is the best answer.” A bright-faced lad was the first to re spond, and he said, “Wash away your sins!” Some more encouraging words were spoken, and then others gave expression to their thoughts o f the way to everlasting happiness. No. 2 said, “Go to Sunday-school every Sunday!” These were the only replies that could be obtained, and most of them showed how little the truths of the gospel were known to these boys. To “go to Sunday-school every Sunday” would not open heaven to anybody. We may hear of the way to heaven in our Sun day-school classes, but many who go to Sunday-school every Sunday will never reach heaven. To “be good” or to “be honest” in the future will not put away our past sins or fit us for the glory of God. It is, of course, right to be good in our home and schools, but in the sight of God “there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” No one of us is naturally good, with a goodness that will make him acceptable in God’s sight. “Prayer” is very important in its place, but saying prayers will not put away my guilt. There are some who say over and over again the same things. The Lord warns us of these vain repetitions. There is no merit in these—they cannot atone for sin. We cannot rightly “ serye God” until we are at peace with Him. It is those who are saved by His grace who can serve Him, and those only. The boy who said, “Wash away your sins!” gave the best answer, and received the penny. We must be washed in the blood o f the Lamb [that is, receive Christ as the No. 3, “Be g ood !” No. 4, “ Prayer!” No. 5, “ Serve God!” No. 6, “Be honest!”
