"Can you write a good hand ?" ask

"Yaas," was the answer.
"Are you good at figures"

It is one of the wonderful things
about our Lord that with all that he
knew, and with all the burning lnten-
sity with which he knew it, he was no
faIlt-finder. His purpose and aim
was not to sit down on people, but to
lift them up not to condemn, but to
save. It is a great feat which ouly
omnipotent grace can make us equal
to. to be able to believe thing tre-
mendously, and then not be little
mad because the next man does not
believe it too.
Blacksiding may go on so slowly as
not to be noticed. -:
