He possess es a will which may be of great useful ness to him, or it may be so used as to be an eternal curse to him, and to others. In the freedom of one’s will, there are terrible possibilities. Suppose that God could not have created man with all of the endowments which make him an in telligent and responsible being, without giving him a will capable of great good or great evil.

I am often re minded of this fact when I am praying for the conversion of an unsaved one, and especially when that one seems to be strongly set in his reluctance to yield to God’s will. I appeal to God’s power to make that person willing to commit himself to Christ for salvation. I think of the fant that God is almighty, and I say to myself that certainly God does have power enough to conquer that one’s will; yet the person remains unconverted. I was thus thinking recently; and then I also tliought of another fact, namely, (iod does not choose to crush man’s will by the might of his own power. He does mo\ e upon one’s will, urging the person to yield to entreating mercy; but if the person will not yield, then God leaves him to suffer from his own folly. Is not this fact a terrible one? It is. It is one of the most solemn things connected with human life. Man’s will can keep Almighty God from saving him. It can keep God from giving to him the greatest of all bless ings. You have observed that Christ was in the habit of asking people if they were willing that he should heal them, or if they were willing that he should grant MAIN STREET. BUaLDJGTON. N. C them some other favor. It is a fact that he never performed a cure upon one who was univilling to be cured by him. He never gjive sight to a blind man who was not willing to receive the blessing. In every case of cure, he first had the free consent of the person. Nor did Christ ever forgive one of his sins unless that one were willing to be forgiven. Thou sands of others remained unforgiven be cause they were unwilling to be forgiven. It is just so now. We talk much about the necessity of one’s having faith in God. and it is necessary; hut, back of all faith, there must be the glad yielding of one’s will to God’s control. Will you vield f C. H.

THE HINDERED CHRIST. By Alice J. Nichols. The Ixjrd Christ wanted a tongue one day To speak a message of cheer To a heart that was weary, worn and sad, And weighed with doubt and fear. He asked me for mine, but ’twas busy quite With my own affairs from morn till night. The Lord ('hrist wanted a hand one day To do a loving deed; He wanted two feet, on an errand for Him To run with gladsome speed. But I had need of my own that day; To His gentle beseeching I answered “Nay!” So all that day I used my tongue, My hands and my feet as I chose. I said some hasty, bitter words That hurt one heart, God knows. I busied my hands with worthless play, And my wilful feet went a crooked way And the dear Lord Christ—was His work undone For lack of a willing heart? It is through men that He speaks to men. His men must do their part. He may have used another that day, But I wish I had let Him have his way.
