bank in the world
(which bank is that?" inquired
Toms father.
Tom hadn't thought of the matter.
AS he talked it over with his father
he found there were more things than
he had dreamed of to render banks
uncertain-fire, flood, burglars, panics,
dishonest employees, so that even the
strongest in the world might be com
oelled to suspend payment
But, papa" Tom asked in dismay.

"And I, if be lifted up, will draw all
men unto Me-"
That Is not so much promise as a
description Of how righteousness
works
We could afford to spend less time
persuading men, and more in illustra-
ton of Him. The genuine thing draws,
and does not need editing. All men
want TO be saved, but they would rath-

Obversely, the Scripture is just as
true: And 1, if be cheapened and be-
Titled, will repel all men from Me.
Every body turns away in disgust
from little" man in big" place.
and in this wrong-headed but clear
headed old world a cheap and nasty
Christianity will not go. Men do not
reason in the abstract. They go by
their eyes and ears, mostly, and the
average Christian is the vulgar defini-
ton of Christ.
Until Christianity shoS US more power
over Christians it can make no strong
appeal to "the world" If Christ save
not the found, what message has He
for the lost?
II all men are not drawing to Christ,
1t is because He 10 not being lifted
up" That proposition seems unan-
swerable.
