ble leading of the Lord in putting her in touch with a lady who will contribute to her support. A lady came into a young people’s meeting where Miss W illiamson was speaking.

LeFevre who has been attending Nyack In stitu te for several months, is now on his way to Ecuador, S. A. , W alter S. Eaton writes from Ontario, N. Y., “I have been supplying' in the Congregational church here the past four months. «There are several churches of all denominations in a radius pf 50 miles from my home, th at are w ith out pastors. The need is great.” PEACE BY JESUS CHRIST The last word In the Old Testament is “curse” ; the last verse in the New is the benediction of grace. At the. birth of Jesus Christ the greeting from heaven to earth was Peace. Under the shadow of the Cross His parting gift to His own was Peace. “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you.” Some call it His legacy, but He is not dead. “I go to prepare a place for you, and’if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again.” And in His absence our hearts are kept in peace resting on this promise. “These things have I spoken unto you that in Me ye might have peace.” Love breathes in every farewell word. Not thought of Himself and the bitter cup before Him, but tender solicitude for them and for us. And today, this day of unrest and discontent and perplexity to the world, “He is our peace.” The song sung by a multitude of celestial beings at His birth was, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men” (Luke 2:14). The Revised Yersion substitutes for the last three words “among men in whom He is well pleased.” There was no greeting of peace to a world at enmity with God, and not desirous of reconciliation, nor is there now any promise of peace except through our Lord Jesus Christ and the Blood of the Cross.
