Mr. Dickson stopped and remov ed the blazing mail sack® before the truck caught fire, but a few sack® were destroyed. It is not known how the fire was started unless some inflammable mater* look at Jesus; for He and He only is “the Son of Man.” For whom He came? The lost! No hopeless cases then. For what did He come? “To seek”—a world of meaning in that,. and “to save”—a great meaning in that also. A man must take his place as lost before Jesus can save. And he that desires to give proof of his being a believer, should walk the narrow way, renounce the sins which have formerly most easily beset him. The man that professes to know Christ and trust Him, yet cleaves to the world and sin, is going down to hell with a lie in his right hand. The heart that has really tasted the grace of God will instinctively hate sin and will have for the heart cry—^‘What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits? ”—Selected.
