ROYAL IRISH WAREHOUSE " Thomas, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came." This was the cause of all his trouble. Would Jesus really appear to them ? This thought held the disciples pretty well together when the rumour once got abroad that the Lord had risen. They came running together, but Thomas did not run. Hence arose the cause of all his trouble— he was not where he should have been. Thomas is vexed, despondent. He had missed a great deal. Christ had put the others into a state of gladness of heart, and as soon as Thomas appeared they burst out, " Thomas, we have seen the Lord." " I don't believe it." Ah ! Thomas has a large family, and all his children take after the father. They are always a day too late. They come into the fair when the fair is over, and go away grumping and gloomy, and don't believe, and try to make others not believe, because they were not there. Herein lies the thing that shows our want of faith in the reality of Jesus Christ, that whereas we turn up so readily at the call of the world, wet or dry, we keep punctually appointed hours for the workshop, & c., when it comes to the call of Christ Jesus anything seems to be able to keep us back ; the lightest wind seems to be able to whisk us like a withered leaf off the path to Him. And yet Thomas was an honest soul. He took his stand, and said, " That fact about Christ I will take second- hand from no man." Many of us will never be men, never have faith and certainty about Jesus Christ until we stop dealing with mere retailed religion, with the second- hand testimonies and opinions of other people, and push forward through the thicket until we come to the clear light of personal revelation in our own soul. We stand on the watch- tower of the testimony of those ten men, but we look to catch a glimpse of Him for ourselves. We must come to that; nothing else will serve our turn. " That I may know Him "—" Jesus loved me, and gave Himself for me." To day may we be able to say, " I see it! the old grey fog can never settle down as thickly as before— I have seen Him with the vision of my faish, and that • can never be taken away." REV. J.
