In the Interpreters House Christian was shown fire against q wall which could not be Quenched, though one cast water upon 1t continually. The ex- pianation was given to Pilgrim when ne was shown the other side of the val. where q man was pouring oil into the fire. This the Interpreter said, was the way the devil tried to extin- guish mans spirituality, and he would succeed were 1t not that Christ is ever pouring into his heart the oil of His grace There is a power in the Chris tan, and from without the Christian, 2 power which Is not at all of himself. that enables him to>1ive a godly life amid conditions not favorite thereto. Thus Christ keeps His own, in spite of all that His enemies can do to wrest them from Him.
 Happy is the Pilgrim on iife's high way who finds that there is an omnis- cient Interpreter, even the Spirit of Truth, who will show you all things" Pilgrim was shown two children named Patience and Passion.
