How the Policeman Overcame the
Enemy.

During the cotton famine of lc62.
many of the operatives, after enduring
great priNati"ns, sought for employ
meut in other occupations than that to
which they had been accustomed.
Among them was one in whom | WAS
much Interested. He WAS Il man re
markahlr for agility and strength, and
had been one of the champion jumpers
of Lancashire. During the famine there
was Il revival of religion III many parts
of the country. and the cuISe was made
ii blessing to numbers, amongst others
to my friend. For some months he WAS
out of employ, and at last he joined the
rural police. He was sent to IA distant
part of the country, and | lost sight of
him for nearly Il year. At that time !
was holding II meeting in one of the
Lancashire towns, and tn my great joy
| saw him in the congregation. At the
close of the service he came to me in
the vestry aud | eagerly inquired after
iliS spiritual welfare, and WAS greatly
gladdened 10y his ASSURANCE that the
more he knew of the Saviour the bet
ter he loved Him. | asked him whether
he did not meet with many tempt ,tlOn>
in his new employ He answered.
Yes but, thank God, not more than
/ can resist My most trying time,
said he. lis at night. Being III the
county police, | have IA very lonely
beat. and at midnight when ! am, pei
hapS miles from any human being, the
devil comes to me and tries to drive
me to despair. Thank God, however,
strong H. he il, have conquered him..
Startled 10y his emphatic words, and
fearing lest he was pre>uming on his
own strength, inquired how he had
accomplished this
oh" said he, with Christ i'll my
heart. and my Bible in my pocket, il Is
very easy. The way in which the enc
my comes to me is this. He doesn't
tempt me to swear CT drink, but he tries
to persuade me that | have deceived
myself, and am not Il Christian, and t"
do this he brings up all my old sins,
and shows them to me. and they were
81 many and so great that my faith al
most failed me. At last God showed
me how tn meet him. got my Bible,
and turned down Il leaf at the first
chapter OF the iiIst rpi>tle of John. and
when went on duty | put the book
into my pocket About midnight ht
came a. usual, ana began To ten me
what IA wicked fellow had been. and
let him go on for awhile. and then
took out the blessed Book and opened
it at the place had prepared. and
turned my hull's-clr right on the words,
The blood of Jesus Christ His Son
