With pride Aristotle referred to | having studied under Plato, and Plato boasted that he had sat at the feet of Socrates. Paul had been in- structed by Ga- maliel, one of the great masters of his day. In the same manner, Nicodemus re ferred to Jesus as “The great teacher come from God.” He was a great Rev. W. T. Joyce. teacher, the greatest teacher who ever taught. Laban, father-in-law of Jacob, who uttered the words of the text, nad also been to school. He had sat under a great teacher—experience. “1 have learned by experience.” Frequently this teacher is hard and unrelenting, and instructs his scholars against their wills. Blessed is the man who profits from experience! Laban came to know something about the Lord: Not only that the Lord could but did bless him, and showed the reason for the blessing. It was because Laban was related to Jacob, who was be- loved of God, that he became the pos- sessor of these spiritual privileges, and could testify, “I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.” Testimony is always helpful, there- fore it may be well for those who are wondering about God and what He can and will do, to write out some of the things that the saints have learned in this great school of experi- ence. I. 1 speak first of learning by ex- perience that GOD 1S REAL, AND GOD 1S GOOD. How frequently, by nature, people think of God as one who is to be feared (and He is) but when we learn to know Him as Jesus came to portray Him-—what a differ- ence! God is not an “abstract prin- ciple,” not an “impersonal power,” not a “great first Cause,” but one who “go loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever be- | lieveth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” This is how I have come to know Him. 11. Experience has instructed me that GOD CAN SAVE. 1 like the word “save.” Nothing is quite a sub- stitute for it. The lifeguard uses it, the doctor and the surgeon use it, the fireman uses it, and I like to use it. God will do that very thing. He says: “He is able to save unto the utter: most those who come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.” “If thou shalt confess . . . Jesus as Lord thou shalt be saved.” It is really a simple thing to be saved. However, this is not a little or inconsequential act, because God is the Savior, and when He does a thing He does it perfectly. Salvation is from God. The basis for this is the work of ClLrist the divine Savior, upon the cross. He is “the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.” It was that righteous act of God on Calvary which makes it pos- sible for you to come to Jesus (i.e, to believe the Bible record of this sacrifice of God) as I, and millions of others, have done. For, “him that cometh unt. Me (Jesus) 1 will in no | wise cast out.” 111. I have learned by experience that God ANSWERS PRAYER. Many times He has answered my cry. David said: “This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him.” Elijah learned it, too, as did Moses, Jonah, Jeremiah, and a host of others. Yes, we have learned it, and the doubts, scorn, and laughter of others cannot disprove it. By prayer 1 do not mean any “going into silence,” “concentration,” or *sub- jective exercise.” 1 understand prayer to be that exercise that a soul which knows God (i. e., comes to know God through accepting His Son) performs when approaching Him in worship, and supplication for the things he re- quires. “If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” Ah, yes, He has thousands of times answered my prayer, as He | said. iV. 1 have learned, too, that HE CAN AND WILL SUPPLY EVERY NEED. Paul puts it like this: “My God shall supply all your needs ac- cording to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Every need supplied! What do you need today. Ask Him for it. If you really belong to Him, you need lack nothing. My friend, cheer up; God has promised to supply your need! Drop upon your knees and trustingly confide to Him your every need, material and spiritual. “No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.” “He hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” He “hath given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness.” The Best News “What's the news?” said Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson one day to an old Jady. “Good news, Sir Alfred Tenny- son,” said she. “Good news—What news?’ said the poet. “God sent His only Son into the world to die for us,” said she, “The best news this world bas ever heard,” said Tenny- 800, ON COURIER COLFAX BOOKPLATE By AGNES MILLER CHAPTER XII—Continued “But in removing the original book- plate in order to conceal the certifi- | cate, he theught she must have torn Hence the need to make a copy, as 1 had seen her do.

Hitherto there had been none as to why the spring-lancet had been taken to Darrow’s. And now Maclvor was proceeding drearily to the close of his story: “It was that long strain of the pur- suit of that book, and the fear that somehow the copied bookplate would be noticed, and maybe the hidden birth certificate discovered, that broke grandfather down. Lle was afraid his secret would be revealed; his con- science would never let him rest; his bitterness would never let him forgive your mother or you, Julia. Be wouldn't have been here much longer, in any case.” “Oh, why did he treat her so?” cried Julia. “His unhappiness was a judg- ment on him! Why did she endure his unkindness?” “She had never disobeyed him ex- cept by her marriage, 1 suppose; she was dependent on him, as her husband had died before you were born— No, I don't know how. His brother, who would doubtless have helped her, was abroad; her health was failing, you had to be thought of. And you know my mother, her sister, never came home here. Her divorce had vexed grandfather very much. So your mother was cut off from practically everybody. But she did get grand- father to promise her, when she was actually dying, that he would bave you brought up and educated properly. Julia, he did better by you than by me. You see what | am today . . . his work . . . a fine specimen!” Charles Maclvor gave a laugh so bitter that it was dreadful to hear. For the first time he aroused my sym- pathy. The one thing he cared for, the Grosvenor estate, for which he had agreed to a shameful silence that had defrauded his cousin for years of her birthright, was to be largely lost to him, after all; and it had taken that loss to show him his own worth- lessness. Julia gazed at him sorrow- fully. She could not have found in her heart a spark of her old cousinly regard for him; yet her true, womanly loyalty prompted some speech that might yet revive his manhood, “Listen, Charles,” she said gently, last: “I'll never forget how you went to Darrow’s that night, for me. thought—mistakenly, you know— that you went on your own account, after 1 told you where the spring: lancet was. I shall always be grate ful for that, because you did it when you thought 1 was guilty, and you wanted to help me.” And then, where opposition and an- ger and severity had only aroused de fiance in that cold and mercenary heart, the free forgiveness of that bit- terly injured girl, who had sacrificed herself time and again for him, broke completely. Maclvor collapsed, groaning aloud. «Don’t, Julia! don’t!” he cried. “1 had no idea whatever what had bap- pened to grandfather, but I always knew you must be absolutely innocent! [ only wanted to keep you from get- ting that bookplate; I wanted time to get it myself, so I tried to throw the guilt on you. God forgive me! I lied!” He hid his face, Silence descended on the room. Julia sat motionless, looking at him, She was cleared, vin- dicated; if she had wished it, fully avenged. 3ut all that anyone could have read on her face was compas- sion. Presently she rose, went to him, and laid her hand on his head. And as Mr. Almy and I found our- selves in the hall, we met Peter Bur- ton coming up the stairs. He started to greet us; suddenly 1 © by The Century Co, “He's not the suspect you mentioned to Julia Harrington when you told her she was cleared?” He nodded again. “Now you see why 1 put it that saw his eyes become fixed on some thing behind me, his hand grasped the banister, his face blanched, the greet- however, he had commanded himself.
