LIGHT; LOVE; PEACE
All Blessings Offered to Those
Who Will Open Their Hearts
to Christ.
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.
