Writes Something
In Book.
When she returned to the platform
she saw her turn to her companion,
borrow his lead pencil and take out a
hymn book and write something in the
book. Then she folded her arms and
looked carelessly around the room. The
meeting closed.
Seven months afterwards Mrs. Rob-
inson went back to that same town.
She was met at the train by a woman
who said, do you remember Miss b?
She's dying. Maybe you can help her."
| She hurried to the home and raped
on the door and asked to see her.
When she was ushured into the room
! the girl took one look at her and
said, You are too late" She said,
''If you will go to the church and
find the hymn book you will find
the reason, for it's written in there. "
My friend hurried to the church
and, in company with some friends,
searched and found the hymn book.
There, written on the fly-leaf she
found these words: 81 will run the
risk; l will take my chances
The spirit of God never called her
again. He left her That was the
last chance she ever had. God say,
MY spirit shall not always strive
with man."
That does not mean that Gods
spirit will be withdrawn from the
world in general. When that occurs,
then God will wind up things in this
old world.

man in this city that can measure up
to the high standards of morality and
truth of the Pharisees in the days OF
Jesus. They were jealous to stone
the offenders against the moral law
yet that was the crowd of which Jesus
said, "You are In danger Of heIIfire
and damnation."
