father placed her on the sill of the window, and standing below with with his arms open, bade her leap into his arms, she did so at once. She trusted him to catch her ln safety. He told her that faith in Christ was just to trust Christ as she trusted in her ta- ther. And just so we must trust in Christ when he gives a command or makes promise. You say, How can I trust in one whom have not seen" In answer, through faith. God has chosen to save men, not by sight, but by faith, not by seeing but by believ- ing. He who turns away from this and says, Nay, not faith, but sight for me; is going contrary to the Cos pei of the grace of God. One who thus said, I cannot believe that anything is real but that which I can see, was holding conversation with a Christian missionary. The man of God answered, than, l cannot hold any further dis cussion with you. "Why not?" said the man. Because, said the servant of God, only care to converse with in telligent men," The man colored up and said. T demand to know your meaning" This missionary. replied, "I like to talk with man with brains, and you will not admit you have any for you certainly never saw them" He who will not believe in anything but what he can see is not only going contrary to the will of God. but also to the demands of common sense. He credits nothing to the omnipotence of God
 Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed" Here is | rh 4o pass from death to life.
 , William Olney gives the following which will help us understand the les son before us and guide us in our trusting him.
 "Seing is not always believing. | Wonder traveller in the desert, as he is about perishing of thirst, thinks he sees well of water and trees in the distance. He leads his fainting camel to the spot, but, alas, it is a mirage in the desert. When he reaches the spot there is nothing but heap Of sand, and he and his weary heart sink down to die. The senses may be mis- taken seeing is not always believing. 7 There was one who came up for ex- animation q think it was for the navy), and he was asked, as his ex : aminer held up a watch, Can you
 hear his watch tick?" Yes" said the young man. Then the examiner took it back farther distance and said to the man, Gan you hear it now? Yes said the man again Well" said the examiner, You are a clever fellow, for the watch stopped two months ago. We are not sure whether, in that case a positive lie was told or whether in his eagerness the young man thought he heard the ticking of the watch, and so his senses deceived him. Not so with faith When man grounds his confidence upon the word of God, that can never deceive hinf. Although the eye may have been deceived, and the ear may have been deceived(as in Isaacs day), yet faith can never be deceived when 1t is founded upon the word and the truth of Jehovah himself"
 Christ Our Savior
 It makes all the difference in the world whether or not we place ouI trust in Christ as our Savior and ad vocate. He is to be received witt absolute faith. He reveals himself as
 boldness in that day. Let us believe Resurrection and the Life. Believe it He is our judge, and promises that il We truly trust Him we may have hildness in that day. Let us believe 1t and it will be well with us, and al
 the close of life we can say with Paul T have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept tht faith; henceforth there is laid up fol me the crown of righteousness, whicl
 the Lord, the righteous Judge, shal
 give to me at that day: and not to m,
 only, but also to all them that hay, loved his appearing"
