Co does not offer to be sim- ply an occasional shower of blessings to the faithful believer. He promises to be a living well. The deepest and the most urgent wants of the heart he promises to satisfy. In true conversion Christ enters the soul. This is the very essence and touchstone of conversion. With | him comes light; with him comes | love; with him comes peace. The radical change of heart in conversion is just as truly a supernatural work as was the resurrection of Lazarus from the cave in Bethany. Christ, then, enters the soul, not as a trans- ient visitor, but as an abiding guest. While he abides there he gives peren- nial life and beauty and strength to the believer. “Because I live, ye shall live also.” “Yet not I,” said the hap- py, hale-hearted apostle, “but Christ that liveth in me.” * And that was the reason why Paul remained a Christian (a Christ’s-man) long after the first excitement of the scene at Damascus had passed away. A well was opened in Paul's heart that day, and its deep, cool, living waters never ran dry. Ruled by Love of Christ. Men could always predict how Paul would act in any emergency, because the principle that ruled him was al- ways the same. “The love of Christ contraineth me.” “For me to live is Christ.” The only reason why any good man continues to be a good man is that the wellspring in his soul never runs dry. Reckless, slave-hunt- ing John Newton ceases to scoff, and begins to pray. Twenty years later John Newton is still praying, still preaching, still overflowing in bene- ficence among the haunts of busy London; and solely because the Lord | Jesus dwelt in him, a source of holy affections, and an inspirer of noble and godly actions. On Sunday he went to preach to rich bankers and titled ladies. On a week-day evening he would sit on a three-legged stool, dn his blue sailor jacket, and open up his rich experiences and wise counsels to the poorest whe came to visit him. “I was a wild beast on the coast of Africa once,” he used to say; “but the Lord Jesus caught me and tamed me, and. now people come to see me as they would go to look at the lions in the tower.” What people came to see and to hear and to love in the sturdy sailor preacher was the Christ who dwelt within John New- ton. Here is the secret of Christian per-f severance, that a true Christian holds | out for no other reason than that | Christ holds out. The Fountain-head | of all holy affection, and all generous | deeds, and all heroic, self-denying en- | durances, is down deep in the man’s heart; ‘because Christ lives, he lives also. You can no more exhaust the | graces of the true Christian than you | | can pump the Thames dry’ at London | bridge. What a transcendent idea | that is in Paul's prayer for his bre- | thren: “That ye might be filled with | all the fullness of God.” When, there- | fore, we meet with a man or woman who almost never disappoints us, who is always “abounding in the work of the Lord, who serves God on every day as well as the Sunday, who is more anxious to be right than to be rich, and who can ask God’s blessing on the bitterest cup, when we meet such a one we know that down in the clefts of the soul is Christ, the well- spring!” Spirit Made Manifest. In-a thousand ways will the inward | fountain of Christian principle make itself visible. We see it in the mer- chant who gives, Christ the key of his safe, and never soils it with ill-gotten gains. We see it in the statesman who cares more to win God’s smile on his conscience than a re-election to office. We recognize it in the min- ister who is more greedy for souls than for salary. We see jt in the young man who would rather endure a comrade’s laughter than his Savior’s frown; in the maiden who obeys Christ sooner than fashion. I some- times detect this wellspring of cheer- ful piety in the patient mother, whose | daily walk with God is a fount of holy | influence amid her household. I know of poor men’s dwellings . in which grows a plant of contentment that is| an exotic rarely found in marble man- | sions. Its leaves are green and glossy; | it is fed from the Well.
