Quite recently, I dealt with one who
processes to be an infidel, and whether
or not he really is one, he was most
blatant and blasphemous in his talk.
When I pressed him that honesty de-
manded that he fairly weigh the evil
dence and put Christ to the test, he
was unwilling to do so and tried to
laugh the matter, as it were, out of
court. He called "the whole business"
as he said, "a myth" and yet l venture
to say that he-never with real desire
to know the truth had put himself in
the way of evidence by which real
faith comes. / do not mean that he
had not read the Bible. 1 suppose he
had, but I presume he read it under
the blighting criticism of a Thomas
Paine or a Robert Ingersoll. Who
would believe even his own good and
true mother if he always looked at her
through eyes of such bitter enemies as
they and their ilk are of the Scrip
lures? Or, who would ever trust him.
self to his mother, If he always came
to her in the spirit of criticism to find
her faults and never to discover her
virtues? If man desires faith, there
is a way to get 1T. 1t is divine way
that never fails the one who honestly
thereby seeks the Lord. 1t is to put
oneself in the way of faith and just as
surely as one does, providing he is
willing and ready to believe, faith will
come to him as the gift Of God. Just
as you rip the water from the spring,
If you go where the spring is, so you
can have faith from God if you will
go where it is to be had. Faith cometh
by hearing. and hearing by the word
Of God" Paul knew where that place
was, and so we always find him rea-
soning with his hearers out of the
Scriptures opening and alleging that
Christ must needs have suffered, and
risen again from the dead, and that
the Jesus whom we preach is Christ
(Acts II :1-4.
My infdel friend whom l tried to
get honestly to put himself in the way
of faith would not do it, simply be-
cause he did not want to believe
When l pressed him further, I found
he had settled the matter in early
youth He had turned Christ down in
revival meeting, which he attended
as boy, and now in maturer years he
is trying to comfort himself with the
false hope that Christ is a myth.

IMPRESSIVE IN HIS SPEECH
Old Soldier Endeavored to Make Vo.

of His Position.

An old soldier was for a long time
curator Of a certain public educational
institution. In accordance with the
duties of his responsible position it
sometimes fell to his lot to remind the
students of forgotten regulations.
"Gentlemen," he shouted, on one oc-
casion, when game of leapfrog was

SAW HIS ERROR TOO LATE
Misfortune Convinced Tommy He Had
Used Salt Water on Wrong Por-
tion Of His Anatomy.

Tommy Tonkins was keen on baseball
and particularly ambitious to make his
mark as q catcher Any hint, however,
swall, was welcomed if it helped on
his advance in this department of the
game. When he began to have trouble
with his hands, and somebody suggest
ed soaking them in salt water to hard
en- the skin, he quickly followed the
advice. Alas! few days later Tommy
had a misfortune. A hit at the bot
tom of the garden sent the ball crash
ing through a neighbor's sitting-room
window. 1t was the third Tommy had
broken since the season began.
Mrs. TOrkins nearly wept In anger
when Tommy broke the news.

Faith Based on Evidence.

Now Paul knew that real faith is
based upon evidence, and that it is
not simply by urging people to believe
in Christ that faith is begotten, so we
read of his persuading the folks who
came to him concerning Jesus Christ
(Acts % :23). This should be les
son to us who, perhaps more frequent
ly than we ought, depend upon exhor-
tation to lead people to faith in Christ
rather than upon evidence which calls
forth faith. People should be exhort-
ed, but they should also be persuaded.
When it speaks of Paul persuading
them concerning Jesus, it does not
mean that he pitted his intellect and
will against theirs, and by sheer force
tried to make them believe in Jesus.
What he did, as we know, was to pre-
sent evidence for their faith to rest
upon He did this by eXpounding to
them "out of the law of Moses and
out of the prophets" That is, he went
to the Old Testament Scriptures and
therefrom produced evidence concern
ing Christ's person and work. AS a
result we read, "sOme believed the
things which were spoken and some
believed not" (Acts % :24). Thus it
always is when the evidence concern
ing Christ is presented, for though the
evidence be sufficient, some will not
have Christ to reign over them. 1t is
not with them a matter of being con-
vinced Of the truth, 1t is an unwilling
ness to yield the life to Christ, and in
that case they would not believe, as
Christ said, though one should rise
from the dead"
