In agonies and blood;
| He fixed His languid eyes on me,
| AS near His cross | stood.
''He seemed to charge me with His death,
| Though not word spake He;

Which had helped TO set me free.

"If o. man was to come to my room in the

/ would say, i mean Brother Joyce cannot
seal my money. He could come up here to
ny room and 60 through my POCKETS, but
he cannot steal my money 'WhyF Be
Gauss it is against his interest; it is against
bis better nature; against his desire; against
his inclination, and just know he did not

If / can't find my money in my pocket, he
Just got up JOKE on me, but he did not

in Brother Joyce you will be getting along
swlmmlngly.
Brother, there is an attitude in this
world liks that, an attitude towards God so

there is no guile 'lmputeth not iniquity.'
Do you know what that means!
Here is an honest man, and he goes down
to his grocer tomorrow morning, and he
says, 4 want dollars worth of coffee The
grocer weighs it and put it up and hands it
to him and he says. I will pay you for it
tomorrow An right says the grocer
ana he walks backs to charge it, And as he
walks back he says i believe / will not put
chat down; he will be back tomorrow to
pay it, and then will only have to scratch
out again
Next morning he coIhes in and pays for

olotter, and he says to himself, On, don't
have to go back, because did not put it
down. When q man intends to do right
God can trust You, can bank on you. And
when a Christian does bob n littls to the

pen to put it down, the lord says DON'T
put that down against him; | will send my
spirit to him and show him, AMI he will do
right, and then you will only have to go
