ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED

How to Help
Inquirers
The Fearful
Br REV. HOWARD W. POPE
Suptrmtradcnl cf Men
Moodf DiUa Init!lul, Chiuco
(m3K$K$$$mK
TEXT "Look unto mo and be yo
saved." Isaiah .22.
A very common
excuse which to
mot in ChriBtlnu
work is this:
'I am afraid 1
cannot hold out."
In dealing with
any caso it Is well
to demon strnto
first tho causo,
and then look for
a euro. Thero
may bo many
causes, but what
ever thoy are,
thoro is always a
euro euro In tho
Word of God. In
this caso it Is ovldont that tho cause
of tho man's fear is this: Ho Is think
ing of saving himself, Instead of com
mitting tho caso to Christ. Ho means
to try a llttlo hardor than over before
to do good, but ho has failed so often
In tho paBt that ho has little con
fidence that ho will succeed any hot
ter In tho future. And tho man Is
right. Ho certainly will fail if ho ro
lies upon his own efforts to lead a
Christian llfo.
Tho romedy in this caso Is to tako
tho man's attention away from him
self, and fix It upon tho Lord Jesus,
who alone can savo him. Say to him,
"My dear friend, tho question Is not
whether you can hold out, but whothor
or not God Is able to save you. Lot us
sco what ho says about it" Opening
your Bible ask him to read aloud He
brows 7:25. "Wherefore ho is able
also to savo thorn to tho uttermost
that como unto God by him, seeing ho
over llveth to mako intercession for
them." Aftor ho has road it, say to
him, "If God is ablo to Bavo to tho
uttermost, thero is certainly some)
hope for you. With an 'uttermost
salvation such as Christ offers, thero
nro no hopeless cases, do you see?"
"Yes, It dbTss look a llttlo more hope
ful, I must confess, but I am afraid I
should fall, if I started in the Chris
tian life My bump of persistence is
not very prominent, and I am easily
discouraged."
"That may bo true, but do you know,
this 'uttermost' Savior has mado pro
vision also to keep you from falling?
Read what he says in Judo 24." "Now
unto him that is ablo to keep you from
falling, and to present you faultless
before tho presence of his glory with
exceeding Joy."
"Isn't that splendid? 'Able to keep
you from falling, and to present you
faultless.' Blameless would mean a
great deal, but without fault means
much moro. And that Is tho condition
in which Christ promises that you
shall bo when ho presents you before
tho Father. (And tho Joy referred
to In that verso Is not tho Joy of the
sinner, though that will -bo unspeak
able, but tho Joy of tho Savior as ho
looks with actual pride upon his finish
ed work. It doesn't seem possible,
does It, that you can bo saved so com
pletely, and mado so perfect and beau
tiful, that tho Lord JesuB will put you
on exhibition as a samplo of his handi
work, with actual prido and Joy? And
yet that is precisely what ho says ho
can do, and ho certainly ought to
know.) Now does not your caso seem
fiopeful, looking at it from God's stand
point?" "Yes, I must admit that it does, but
'ou see my caso is peculiar. I had a
grandfather who was a drunkard, and
I havo Inherited from him an appetite
for liquor, Occasionally an awful crav
ing for strong drink comes upon mo
with Irresistible power, and down I go
before it. That is tho real causo of
my apprehension. If it wero not for
lhat I think I could bo saved, but you
peo my case is peculiar."
"Yes, I sco your cascts peculiar, but
do you know wo havo a peculiar
Savior? In tho first place, he was ac
quainted with that grandfather ot
yours, and ho knows all about that ap
petite. In tho second place, ho has
mado ample provision for it In tho
Book. Indeed, ho has provided a spe
cial promise for Just such cases. Bead
if you will 1 Corinthians 10:13, 'God
Is faithful, who will not suffer you to
bo tempted abovo that yo nro able;
but will with tho temptation also
mako a way to oscapo, that yo may bo
ablo to bear it.'
If tho man Is sincere In his dcslro
to bo a Christian thero is only ono al
ternative, and usually ho will accopt
It
If theso verses do not lead a per
son to a decision I havo sometimes
tried this method: "You aro lost now,
anyway, aro you not?" "Yes, I nm
lost now." "Well, If you should try
the Christian llfo and fall, you could
not bo any worso off than you aro now,
could you?" "No." "But if you should
succeed you would bo a great dealbet
tor off, would you not7" ''Certainly."
"Then It looks to me as If you had
everything to win and nothing to loso
by starting, Is that not so?" "Yes,
hut I nover thought of that boforo."
"Will you then kneel right down hero
and commit tho keeping of your soul
to Christ?" "I will."
I havo seldom found a person who
could not bo convinced by such simple
reasoning, If they honestly desired to
bo a Christian.

SELECTION OF VARIETIES FOR ORCHARD

to bond tho surfaco stones of the

When such a road is subjected to
automobile traffic, entirely now con
