sop, they would be made clean. Man, who spends his years as a tale that is told, is yet unwilling to talk frankly with his Creator. The same yesterday, tomorrow and for ever, God wants us to know that He is unwilling that any should perish. The immortal God, eternally exis tent, desires to talk with sinful man whose earthly life is like a vapor that appeareth for a little while and then vanishes away. Here the' om niscient God is seeking to reason with foolish man. The omnipotent God is asking to converse with weak man. The devil invites to unreasonable unbelief, specializing in insanity. What a great consolation it is to hear God say, ‘“Come . . . I will in no wise cast out.” A great sinner; a great Saviour; a great salvation! Lay hold upon this truth now by penitent faith and dedication — a dedication to live for God right now and until our Saviour comes again.
THOUGHTFULNESS Sunday I visited your church. My heart was full of care; I don't know if you noticed me, As I was sitting there. The choir sang, the pastor preached Of God's infinite love, How Jesus came down to this earth From heaven's home above; A lost and sinful world to save From hell and sure perdition. I said to myself— "This means me In my lost soul's condition." The pastor made his last appeal, And asked us all to stand; To all who want to follow Christ, He'd offer them his hand. His words were drowned by buzzing sounds, And that disturbed me so; I swallowed a lump in my throat, And lost that urge to go. You didn't care— just to get away, No matter what my cost. So I didn't find the Lord that day; I walked out alone— and lost! — Wm. C. Dahlke
