In my weekly round I met Robert Morrison. He stopped me, saying, " You'll excuse me if I say as I can't right make out about some of them books you lent me. That last was very good, but it's all white. Now in the old book they tell us both black and white about a man, and that's what I call human nature. Look at David, and he was better than most of us, but it don't seem to say as he was Pe'r'N° o,' he was not perfect, and his life story is so told that we can see the struggle for right going on day by day; in books we often read on y the result of the struggles. What seem to us perfections are just the medals and stars won by God's help. Underneath we should find old marks and scars showing how hard the battle had gone.' _ ,„. r, .. . " Yes ; I can see it now ; that's right enough. Tis many years since I knew that Christ had forgiven all my sins, and I've a lot of fighting yet; but I mind a piece of advice my mate gave me after that night ( I never knew what happiness was till that night), and he says, ' Let me give ye a bit of advice. The devil s a very good builder, and will do his best to fence you in all round. Hell build a good thick wall all round you, same as he did about Job. But there s one thing lie don t know. The Lord ain't let him learn the art of roofing yet. He can build strong, but he don't know how to put a roof on, and the Lord won't let him, so whatever he does you can always go up. The Lord's above you, and you can get at Him if you 11 look up.' And I've found it so. I'm sure it's wonderful what we get up there. Have you found that refuge ? If not, will you remember that it is : for/^. how- ever wrong or sorrowful or tired you may be. The Saviour waits Come unto Me and I will give you rest." This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Direct your prayer unto ! Him and look up. BANKRUPT AGENCY ASSOCIATION, KEGISTEBED.
