THE PRAY Eli CONNER
LOVEST THOU ME?
?
"There is another phase of the
comfort which this truth suggests.
The world is always watching us, and
it is not charitable towards our
faults. Men are quick to note our
uneonsiatencies. They are not pa
tient with our infirmities. They
easily doubt our sincerity when we
fail to live up tc our profession.
Sometimes men misunderstand ua
even when we ate most faithful.
Jesus Himself was misjudged And
misunderstood by His enemies. -Men
took His divine acts and made them
appear unworthy. The disciple must
not hope to escape the misrepresen
tation and the maligning whirh the
Master Himself had to endure."
"The>,e things being so, we may
not always appeal to the world for
evidence of our love for Chviat We
cannot when by our faultn an<L in
consistencies we have incurred the
world's sentence of insincerity. Even
when we have been truest we may not
always appeal with confidence to
men's judgment, for men may not be
friendly nor just. But in all such
experiences we know there is One
who always is charitable in His
judgments who never misunderstands
us ncr misjudges us. When we have
sinned and failed and yet know that
we love Christ, or when we are mis
understood or wrongly accused, we
can look up rnto Christ's fac? and
say with sweet confidence, "Lord,
Thou knowest that I love Thee."
"This truth also gives us a deep
glimpse into the heart of Ch-iat, c
blessed revealing of the character of !
His love. It is a love thut does not I
weary of us. with all our faults, in- 1
firmities and sinnings. We are not
sure of such patience in human love.
We complain if our friends do not
return as deep, rich and constant
love as we give them. We are hurt
at any evidence of the ebbing %f
love in them when they seem to grow
cold toward us. When they fail us
in loyalty, when we think they have
not been altogether unselfish, or
when they have proved harsh or un
gentle toward us."
Human love is oftimes chilled by
the discovery of things unworthy of ?
traits of character that are not
beautiful, of acts that are not right. ,
? We are not sure always that our

i friends will love 113 still when they
I know all about us. We could not
trust the world with the perfect
knowledge of our real inner life that
Christ has. There are pages in the
secret lives of most of us that we
would not dare spread out before the
eyes of men. There are thingB in us
? jealousies, envies, selfish desires,
earthward turnings, unholy affections
? whi(h we would not feel safe in
laying bare to our dearest and most
patient friends. Yet Christ, knows
all. Nothing is hidden from Him,
"Lord, Thou knowest all things."
And we need net be afraid to tfast
Him with the innermost frailties and
faults of our life. His love will not
be turned back by these repulsive
things, while it finds in our heart
even the feeblest lcve for Him.
At the northern end of Ceylon is
a village from which every day in
the season several hundred boats go
out each one carrying pearl divers.
These men bring back great numbers
of pearl oysters, and the creatures
are piled jip in heaps under the sun
that they may yot. All dey men
work in these putrescent heaps,
[washing out the retting mass, for the
sake of the pearls. Here we have
!an illustration of the love of Christ,
which is not turned aw.iv from tis I
jby the sin, the un worthiness, tin
moral evil- it finds in us, but is
faithful atilj, because it finds, amid
all that is wrong "pearls of love." j
"This revealing of the heart of
Christ if. for us too. Thi: is the
way He loves no matter what evii
is revealed in us, after we become
His friends. He does not caBt us off 1
on account of it. He knows us per- j
fectly, but loves us better than He
knows. It was the prayer of Fene
lon, "Save me in spite of myself."
We must all#be saved, if ever, in
spite of ourselves. Suppose that
Jesus had let Peter go home when
he went out after his denial that
night, what would have become of
the poor fisherman? He would have
been swept away on the dark bosom
of sin's floods and would never have
seen his Lord's face again. We do
not know the perils of our own weak
ness, or our capacities for sinning.
When the disciples were told by their
Master in the upper room that one
of them should betray Him, they j
did not suspect one another. Each :
one was seized with a fear that it
might be himself that would do this 1
dreadful thing. "Lord is it I?" they !
asked with white cheek and trembl- 1
int* speech."
A PRAYER
Dear Lord, thou knowest my ;
weakness, and my faults are not hid j
from Thee. Yet I pray help me to,
prove my sincere sorrows for sin and j
my eager desire to turn from it, by ,
a consecrated life. Keep me in the '
true attitude toward right and .
wronir. Give me such wi love for oth- |
ers that I shall bring to them that

Chevrolet announces
A PW
SERVICE HPO LIC Y
The Chevrolet Motor Company and its
dealers are pleased to announce a new
service policy ? one of the most liberal
ever offered on a low-priced automobile.
Put into force as a written agreement
given to the purchaser by the Chevrolet
dealer when the car is delivered ? it
offers the following provisions t
1 Every Chevrolet owner receives his
car from the dealer in perfect condition
? thoroughly lubricated, properly ad
justed, and ready to operate efficiently
from the first mile of ownership.
2 Every Chevrolet owner U entitled to
free inspection and adjustment of his car
at the end of the first 500 miles of usage.
3 Every Chevrolet owner is entitled to
free inspection of his car every 1000
miles thereafter, so long as the car is in
operation.
4 Every Chevrolet owner Is entitled to
free replacement of any part which may
prove defective in workmanship or
material, within the terms of Chevrolet's
standard warranty. This includes both
parts and labor.
5 Provision number 4 will be carried
out by any Chevrolet dealer in the
United States. As a result, the Chevrolet
owner may travel to any part of the
country, with assurance that the guar
antee on materials and workmanship
will remain in force.
This new policy constitutes proof of
Chevrolet's high quality ? for such liberal
provisions could only be made in connec
tion with a car built of fine materials to
exacting standards of workmanship.
Back of this policy, and assuring its suc
cessful operation, is one of the most
complete and efficient service organiza
tions in the world.
There are more than 10,000 Authorized
Chevrolet Dealer Service Stations in the
United States alone. Each employs
skilled mechanics thoroughly trained at
Chevrolet Service Schools. Each has
specially designed tools and machinery
developed exclusively for Chevrolet serv
ice work. And each has on hand, at
all times, an adequate stock of genuine
Chevrolet replacement parts.
Chevrolet's flat-rate charges, including
both parts and labor, are the lowest in
the industry on many service operations !
In considering the purchase of a low
priced automobile, think what this service
means ? in terms of lasting satisfaction,
as well as in increased economy.
