IN CHRIST OR OUT OF CHRIST— WHICH IS IT? Sometimes people take exception to what they call drawing a hard and fast line. I cannot see how a man can be something between saved and unsaved. Do not run away with the idea that your case is hopeless. No case is hopeless as long as the Word stands. " The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost." When a cab drives up to the London Hospital, the gates may be closed, but there is a porter by, and if someone shouts out, " Open the gate, we are afraid it is a hopeless case ; he is about as far gone as he can be," do not the doors fly open at once t But I can imagine someone coming up and the porter saying, " What do you want?" " I think I should like to have a look at the hospital." " Are you sick 1" . " I never felt better in my life." The door would not be open to him ! Or one might come up and say, " I am not quite well, I think I should like to come into the hospital. I have a few patent medicines I should like to bring with me, and my own medical man must attend me." The porter would reply, " The hospital is not for such as you. If you are willing to surrender yourself to the physician here, and accept what we give you, we will receive you." Christ is willing to save— able to save. The difficulty is to get men and women to be willing to accept a free salvation. ARCHIBALD BROWN. ENAMELLED IRON CABMEN'S BADGES, CAB NUMBERS, CAB FARE PLATES.
