"Best” Books Devotional Works by well known authors —Books for the quiet hour
“A young man once found a five-dqllar bill on the street,” says William Feather, a well-known writer. “From that time on he never lifted his eyes when walking. In the course of years he accumulated 29,516 buttons, 54,172 pins, 12 cents, a bent back, and a miserly disposition. He lost the glory of the sunlight, the sheen of stars, the smiles o f friends,, tree-blossoms in the spring, the blue o f skies, and the entire joy of living.”

F ebruary 25, 1928 Text : Luke 6:27-28
A poor widow who was a washerwoman, partly depended for support upon the produce o f her garden. In. it was a peach tree; the fruit o f which was coveted by some boys of the village. A c cordingly one night they entered the garden to rob the tree. The widow had, however, made a timely gathering of her fruit that day. In revenge for their disappointment the wicked lads turned some swine into the garden, who by morning had wrought havoc among her vegetables, and made her suffer in consequence through the winter. In looking at the desolation she picked up a knife with a name engraved o n ‘the handle. It was the name o f a village boy whom she knew, and whom she thus recognized as the cause of her loss. However, nothing was said about the matter. During the ensuing months a revival took place in the village in question, and among those who became convicted of sin was the owner o f the'knife. Becoming converted, he obeyed his conscience by going to the widow and confessing the wrong he had done her. Thereupon, she told him she had long known it, and showed him his knife. “ But why did you hot inform upon me, and make me pay the damage?” he asked. “ There'was a more excellent way,” she said: “I took that way.” “What was it?” asked the lad. “ To pray for you, in accordance with the Master’s directions.” Thus by prayer the widow had the noble revenge o f “saving a soul from death, and hiding a multitude of sins.” Jas. 5 :20. ¿^4. • 11 F ebruary 26, 1928 T ex t; Ex. 33 :14 Dr. John G. Paton, the famous missionary, when on Tanna, New Hebrides, having lost all his earthly goods, with savages all round seeking to, take his life, was obliged to spend several hours bne night in a tree for safety. “Yet,” says he, “never in all my sorrows did my Lord draw nearer to me, or speak more sooth ingly in my soul. Had I been a stranger to Jesus and to prayer, my reason would verily have given way, but my comfort and joy sprang out o f these: ‘I will never leave thee nor forsake thee ‘Lo, I am with you alway.’ ” I M When the Steamer London, which was bound for Melbourne, with some hundreds o f passengers on board, foundered in the Bay of Biscay, a thrilling tale was told by the few survivors, of a lady who offered, a thousand guineas to be saved. The great steamship was fast settling down amidst the heavy seas,-and all hope was given up except for those in the only boat that was safely launched. The lady had refused to get in the boat when she had a chance, but a little later, seeing that she must go down with all the rest on board, she piteously cried out, “A thousand guineas if you’ll take me in.” But money, even mil lions—then was valueless. It was too late—she was lo s t - through rejecting the offer. F ebruary 27, 1928 T ext; Matt. 16:26
