“Best” Books

D. L. Moody once said that he used to race with his shadow in his boyhood days, and he wondered why the shadow always kept ahead o f him. But one day he was running with his face toward the sunlight,' and, chancing to glance back, he saw his shadow coming behind, and staying there. To keep shadows from darkening the heart we must always face toward Jesus Christ.

There is a story told o f a Frenchman who was drafted dur­ ing the Napoleonic wars into the French army. He claimed that he was exempt from service, and when asked what was the ground of his exemption, he said: “ I’m dead. I was drafted before and I procured a substitute, and my substitute went to battle and was killed. He died in my place and hence I’m a dead man as far as conscription goes.” The officer to whom he applied for relief from conscription would not listen. The man appealed to the Emperor and the Emperor acknowledged the plea, saying: “Yes, judicially you are dead and you can go to your home; you are perfectly free.” During a terrible outbreak o f leprosy in Bombay, the au­ thorities found great difficulty in accounting for its spread. Finally they decided to employ detectives to discover the cause. One o f these stood in the crowded bazaar to watch the pass- ersby, and noticed a high caste Hindu walking unconcernedly amongst the people, wearing a pair of kid gloves. This aroused the suspicions of the detective, and presently arresting him, point- blank he asked him to remove, the gloves. Indignant remon­ strances were met by the production of a bit of blue paper, which authority the great man dared not disown, and slowly and re­ luctantly the glove was withdrawn, only to reveal in the palm of the hand the small, guilty,,white spot o f leprosy. It is written, “ He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall find mercy.” When America entered the world conflict there arose grave difficulties o f transport. Only a limited number o f American troops could cross the Atlantic at .one time. There was a cer­ tain company from which a draft was to be taken. Every man in the company was keen to go, but only a few could be taken. Who should the few be? They decided to cast lots. A number of papers were put into a hat, just as many as there were men, and crosses were put on some of the papers, and every man who drew a cross was to go to France. One boy wrote to his father, and this line was in the letter, “ If ever I prayed in my life I prayed today that I might draw a cross!” F ebr uar y IS, 1928 Text: Num. 32:23 F ebr uar y 16, 1928 Text : Phil. 3 :10
