A fit guaranteed. Cut this out and bring with you, or write for patterns of the - woollen stock, The question, " How am I to come to Christ 1 what is it to come ?" is a stumbling block to very many, and frequently just in front of the gate of the Kingdom. It is a question that Bunyan deals with in a most helpful and touching way. " Now then," said Christian, " to prevent drowsiness, let us fall into good discourse." " With all my heart," said Hopeful. " Where shall we begin 1" asked Christian. " Where God began with us." And then the two compare notes as to ( he way in which they came at first to look after the good of their souls, and how they were finally led to Christ. Hopeful tells an oft- repeated story of vain efforts to arrive at inward peace by the pathway of outward reformation. Now when he came to a full conviction about sin he was bid to pray ; and he did pray, and pray on, but the answer was so long in coming that he had thoughts of leaving off praying, but thought better of it, saying, " If I leave off I die, and I can but die at the Throne of Grace, so I continued till the Father showed me the Son. I did not see Him with my bodily eyes, but with the eyes of my understanding, and thus it was : One day I was very sad, sadder I think than at any one time of my life, and this sadness was through a fresh sight of the greatness and vileness of my sms, when . . . suddenly, as I thought, I saw the Lord Jesus looking down from heaven upon me, and saying, ' Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.' But I replied, ' Lord, I am a great, a very great sinner.' And He answered, ' My grace is sufficient for thee.' Then I said, " But, Lord, what is believing?' And then I saw from that saying, ' He that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst,' that believing and coming was all one; aiid that he that came, i. e., ran out in his heart and affections after salvation by Christ, he indeed believed in Christ. Then the tears stood in mine eyes." It is not for us to make mysterious what Christ has made plain. And when He speaks about coming to Him, and believing in Him, we may be sure He is speaking about some- thing very simple.
