THE K I N G ' S B US I NE S S And the history of the church is full of proofs of this. Spurgeon says that it was the teachings of his pious mother on Sabbath evenings, when the other members of the family had gone to church, that made the first religious im pressions on his mind. A humble Chris tian woman in Newcastle on Tyne, in England, found a little boy upon the streets and induced him with some per suasion to' go with her to Sabbath School. That boy was Robert Morri son, the missionary to China, who trans lated the Bible for over four hundred millions of the human race. Says the Rev. Mr. Cross, “When Mr. Moffat, the missionary to Africa, on his return home for rest, met in a house in the north of England an aged man, the Rev. Mr. Caldwell, to whom he was an entire stranger, Mr. Caldwell, perceiv ing that Mr. Moffat was a Scotchman, inquired the place of his birth, and was told, ‘Often away among the heathen, I think of my mother leading me, when a little boy, to the Independent meeting at Falkirk, to hear an excellent minis ter named Caldwell.’ As he spoke of his mother, old Mr. Caldwell rose up, with tears running down his cheeks, and exclaimed, ‘Can it be? Are you little Robby Moffat? Is Moffat, the mis sionary, the boy his mother used to lead to my meeting house?’ Till then the aged minister had not known that the little boy was the man who had done so much for Africa. Oh, have faith in WILSON WISDOM “ If every man in the United States would read one chapter of the Bible each day, most of the nation’s troubles would disappear.”—Woodrow Wilson.

580 ceiveth not MY WORD, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” (John 12:48.) In a palace in Rome, there is a cham ber painted with frescoes. The ceiling, walls and floors are covered with fig ures, seemingly distorted and grotesque. It is a bewildering maze of confusion, viewed from every point but one. Ther< is one spot where, if you take your stand, each line falls into harmony and the perspective becomes perfect. It is beautiful in design. Mystery, confusion, lack of heart- peace hem us in— until we take our stand at Calvary’s Cross acknowledging ourselves helpless sinners unable to save our own souls. Get down at the foot of that Cross in childlike faith, and all your darkness and discord will be come harmony and light. Your intel lectual night will become radiant with certainty, for— “ He that believeth on the Son hath the witness in himself, he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son. And this is the rec ord, that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son hath not life.”—K. L. B. WINNING THE CHILDREN King Louis IX, of France, when someone found him teaching a little kitchen boy, and asked him why he did it, answered, “ The meanest hath a soul as precious as Any own and bought with the same blood of Jesus Christ.” And Elliot, the missionary to the North America Indians, in his eightieth year, and on the day he died, was teaching an Indian child its alphabet, that it might be prepared to read the story of the cross. “Who knows,” said Bishop Beveridge, “ but that the salvation of tens of thousands of immortal souls may depend on the education of one child?”
