hope. And l found the poor, the des.
perately poor, to whose temporal needs
was not able to minister, but to
whom the Lord blessedly opened the
way To serve them in their spiritual
needs.
T was an unfamiliar road Ovel
which travelled. I had never beer
that way before, and knew not what
I would meet with along its pathway
and rather strangely bur providential'
ly. I believe, the first opportunity came
to Lac at the county poor house. 1t was
not silver coin which had to give te
the poor that day, but did long tc
break the alabaster box of my. love
and devotion at the feet of my Lord in
order that He might take and use II
to the blessing of some poor soul. AS
I entered the poor house grounds
met the superintendent and secured his
permission to visit the inmates of the
place, both in the building and upon
the grounds, which were shady and
comfortable with their benches under
the trees. A group of six or eight aged
and decrepid men were gathered there
had my Testaments and Scripture
cards handy, and as l entered the
group l gave each card and spoke a
CHEEKY how-de-do. Here were men
with place to stay and meager daily
food to nourish the body, but no place
to call home. All! how l prayed that
the Lord would enable me to speak
some word of His eternal brightness
and truth which would shine as bea-
con light to the poor souls and light

them of the Christ and the mansions
He had gone to prepare in the heavens
for them that love Him. Some seemed
to understand Some were German
and could not understand my speech.

seemingly more Intelligent than the
rest, displayed much interest in the
things whereof was speaking. gave
him a Testament and the last saw OF
him he was seated, with the others
about him, reading the precious Word
Of God. Perhaps that day new visions
were opened up to him which will
grow brighter as his failing days fade
into the grave. Perhaps some day the
pauper whom l met that day will greet
me on the other side and we will re-
joice together in the riches and COM
fort and joy Of the Fathers house. AS
was glad to meet him that day and
clasp his hand, so shall rejoice to call
him brother in the presence OF Him who
loved us and gave Himself for us. God
looked down upon that ill-sorted group
of human beings. His gaze penetrated
the homely, ill-1tting garments Of the
paupers and my not elegant. but bet
ter dress, and saw beneath the needy
souls of each and all, for God is no
respecter Of persons" But for the
grace and favor of God I might have
been numbered among those lonely
outcasts Be that as it may, God in
His love was tenderly yearning to-
wards these souls as He was towards
me, and needed the blood Of Jesus
Christ to cleanse me from all sin even
as did they. 1t is good sometimes to
strip ones self of social distinction
and worldly position and favor and try
to view the naked soul as it is placed
along side of the soul of one whom the
world hardly deigns to look upon and
considers burden because public
funds are needed to house, clothe and
feed the poor outcast.

THIS thought and this lesson were

which spent awheel. My pockets were
not filled with coin, but the roomy
bag on my bicycle was filled with the

mated Scripture texts, and Testaments

1t is more than likely that it is the
