Lazarus come “forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes?” And how could a man walk when he was bound hand and foot? Yet they had seen him come forth. He had not walked. He could not, for he was bound. Yet he “came forth” And they them selves had untied his bands; so they knew he had been bound. Here was indeed a miracle of which they never tired of-telling. These Jews had had a part in this wonderful event, and that constituted them witnesses in its favor. All this testimony would have been lost, had they not been permitted to cooperate. (To be cont.)

But God has gone one step further in assuring men of a perfectly fair and sympathetic trial. While Christ is the chief presiding judge, He is not the only judge. Associated with him on the bench are the saints of God saved th"ough grace. “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?” 1 Cor. 6:2 “Judgement was given to the saints of the Most High.” Dan. 7:22. And so Christ Hirns> If stated of the twelve: “When the Son of man shall . sit in the throne of His Glory, ye shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Isreal." Math. 19:28. These statements make clear the fact that the saints will have a part in the judgement. They will “judge the world.” And even beyond the world will their jur isdiction extend, “know ye not that ye shall judge angels?” 1 Cor. 6:3. When the final assize is held, the saints will have a prominnent part to play. Christ associates them with Himself. They hear all the evidence. They are made aeqainted with all the circumstances. And when at last the irrevocable decree is pro nounced, they are assured of its justice and are able to exclaim from a personal knowledge of the facts involved, “True and right eous are thy judgements.” Rev. 16:7; 19:2. And the angel of the waters confirms this opinion by saying, “Thou art righteous, oh Lord, which art, and wast, and shall be, because Thou hast judged thus.” Rev 16:5. That Christ thus associates the saints with Himself in the judge ment reveals ona of the working principles of God’s government that is very interesting indeed. God could do all the judging Himself were He so inclined. In n moment He could decide every case, and it would be a just de cision. But God does not work that way, He always gives man something to do, thus making him a coworker with Himself. Christ may raise Lazarus from the dead. Man cannot do that, but man can roll away the stone that covers the grave. Hence Christ commands, “Take YE a- way the stone.” John 11:39. Laz arus is called to life, but the bandages are not removed. That man can do, hence Chrjst again commands. “Loose him and let him go.” Verse 44. The principle here seems to be this, whatever man can do, let man do. What man cannot do God will. But there are other reasons for God’s taking man into partner ship. In the case of Lazarus here referred to, no doubt was ever afterward expressed by anyone as to the genuineness of the miracle. When those men loosed Lazarus from his graveclothes, when they actually untied his bands that held his hands and feet, and uncovered his face, they were confronted by a miracle other than that of raising a man from the dead. Had they not seen Wished He Were A Cow Young Hafner looked down into the Swiss valley and wished he were one of the cows grazing there so pleasantly. For, said he, if I were one of those cows, I would be rid of this heavy heart. Yes, he would even be a cow, so dark were h:s days. Then a bible was put into his hands and he, being a student, began to read. And of evenings, he slipped into the mission hall and listened. One of the work ers gave him light and pointed the way. Then came the great day. It was of a morning that it all took place. He must get out into the open and let loose. And so it was that he climbed the mountain and shouted and sang and shouted again. His heart had settled on the bible and God the giver of hope had filled his heart with joy and peace. Later on America had him as a much trusted and be loved pastor.

Like blue steel ti was. and like flint also. A tree cad could scuttle up and down a pine so fast that his, body would be a blur and only his beak could be seen as a blue streak. With every scuttle, the tree cad would leave fire flying, from the touch of his flinty and steely beak to th4 bark. The apes were roast meat eaters,—not just meat eat ers, mind—and by instinct they set forest fires to provide them selves with roasts. Often a fire would race away and roast more elk, deer, pheasant, squirrel and such, than the apes could pos sibly eat; but they did not care, for they were cads, and nothin' but cads. “They had mean little red eyes, shifty, of course. Their legs were like those of giant spiders, and they had tails for swingin' from pine to pine. They were quiet timber beasts, never chattin' like most simians, but would sneak about lookin' for dirty work to do—the real cads that they were.
