: Him. We wonder what homo was so form-

moro Important for us to open our henrt to
Him nnd have Him abide with us contin

speak snd followed him wns Andrew, Slmmi
Peter's brother." The other was probably
John himself, its ho would not bo likely to
mention his own name. 1'rom Math, iv., is

was that Andrew (which slgnlllis manly)
bcamo a trim man a manly tiian indeed,
lor he henceforth live to bring men to Jesus
nnd mnke Jesus known to meu, mi l begins
with bis own brother.
4J. "And he brought him to Jesus." This
is the one thing to do -not bring him to a
church or prnyer meeting mrely, or to a
truth or doctrine, but to Jesus as a living
person. Andrew orottgni nun to jckus, who
was to dlu as a saorlllee, but wo tiring people
to Jesus, who has dlnd and Is alive forever
