his back was twisted out of shape. He
never recovered. and was ever after that
an object OF pity rs he made his way along
the streets. The man who had been saved
gave half of all he had to the man who bad
saved HIM. His wages were always divided
with the one who suffered for him. and we
understand this as being right and true,
but when Christ suffers for us we do
naucht but reject Him. yet IN the face of
all this rejection God says. Il will forgive

We are rot so familiar with the Hoy
Ghost as with the Son of God and with
God Himself. We have learned concerning
His personality. we have had visions OF
His power. we read stories of His work,
but It ought to be remembered that every
impression we have toward good in these
days comes from Him. for He talks OF the
things OF Christ and shows them unto Us.
Sometimes His seckiags have been IN
trouble always in a revival. He calls
sometimes by the ministry. There Is 4
special call given 10 us frequently IN Gods
providences; generally through our friends

There II one man who still has great

II cannot answer you" Andrew made

"what are you talking about7" asked
Rhena as she came up.
'Rhena," said Stuart. "it may be nee
essary for me TO go 70 DE Mott tonight.
II looks now as II the strike had reached

Rhena looked steadily at the three men.

something.
She spoke again. IT would not have you

her. and without another word % either
Andrew or Eric he stepped 10 the door
and threw is open.
