A man stepped into horse car in New
York, and before taking his seat gave to
each passenger little card bearing the
inscription, Look to Jesus when tempted,
when troubled, when dying"
One OF the passengers carefully read the
card and put it in his pocket. As he left
the car he said to the giver: "Sir, when
you gave me this card was on my way to
the ferry intending to jump from the boat
and drown myself. The death of my wife
and son had robbed me OF all desire to
live, but this card has persuaded me to
begin life anew. Goodday, and God bless
you"
We adore the kind Providence that led
Philip to cross the path of the Ethiopian at
the very moment when he was needed,
but we forget that the like thing occurs
every day. There Is no such thing as
chance III Gods world, and those who
seek to be led by the Spirit often find
themselves messengers of mercy to some
weary soul.
A lady once Travelled nearly 200 miles
to tell a writer personally how a little
leaftet THAI he had given her the year be-
fore led to her conversion. BY the use OF
similar card young man was led to
give his heart to the Lord, and through
his influence both his father and mother
were brought into the Masters service.

1t is gratifying to note in dispatches
