he man is all right as he is and we need not bother about him. It is simply silly for people to talk as if God's fair dealing with all men were a discovery of our brosil minded generation. Nothing can be plainer on the subject than the Bible itself, which teaches that many shall come to the Kingdom north, south, east and west, while the children of the Kingdom, that is tho privileged such as ourselves irbo were born within its borders, may remain outside it. No man or woman upon whom Jesus Christ has any vital hold will prevent this great truth, luminous with the irrefragable justice of heaven, into a stupid excuse for withold- ing from another the Light of the World. Maltitudes of devout souls have turned to Christ from other faiths through all these ages, as they are doing still, and they all say one thing, that the change is like sunshine after darkness, that it is the end of a baffling saarch, the solving of a puzzling riddle. There is no need what- ever to minimise the good which may be found in the various faiths and philosophies in which men seek after God if haply they may find him. But it remains that there is no one like Jesus Christ, no other revelation of God which bestows on mien the true spirit of adoption whereby they cry, Abba, Father. And that is what is what men need, to be reconciled to God. Nothing less can content the heart which was made for God, and no one but Jesus has ever said or can say, "Come anto me and ye shall find After rest unto your souls." Peter had obeyed his directions to go to Cornelius there were some who objected, as there al- ways are. Note his answer. "What was 1," said he, "that I) could withstand God?" He was more modest than some of us. After all, the propagation of the gospel is not a matter of my opin ion or yours or any one else's. It is a matter of Christ's opinion, though that is the last thing one
