Wiser counsel than this it would be
impossible to conceive! If Philip had
reproved Nathaniel's unbelief, he might
have driven him back for many a day,
and given ofsnse. If he had reasoned
with him, he might have failed To con.
vince him, or might have confirmed him
In. his doubts. But, by inviting him TO
prove the matter for himself, he showed
his entire confidence in the truth of his
own assertion, and his willingness to
have it tested and proved And the re-
suit shows the wisdom of Philips words.
Nathaniel owed his early acquaintance
with Christ to that frank invitation,
"Come and see."
ii we call ourselves true Christians,
let us never be afraid to deal with people
about their souls as Philip dealt with
Nathaniel. Let us invite them boldly
to make proof OF our religion. Let us
tell them confidently that they cannot
know its real value until they have tried
IL. Let US assure them that vital Chris.

cesl. Its faith and practice are spoken
against Just because they are not known.
Its enemies speak evil of things with
which they are not acquainted. They
understand neither what they say nor
whereof they affirm. Philips mode Of
dealing we may be sure, is..one principal
way to do good. Few are ever moved
by reasoning and argument. Still fewer
are frightened into repentance, The man
who does most good to souls is often the

had he done so than he was taken in and
hurled around with such violence as TO al

time, heard a shrek from the child and up
on going to ascertain the cause found the
