An Danger.
Rev. C. E. Cornell.
f:i21N ORDER to discover the "scope
11!{1 .and daring of college teaching''
in the United States today, Mr.
Ha:rold Bolce has spent two years in the
.class-rooms iri many of the leading uni-
versities from Cambridge 'to Caiifor-
nia. .
In a iemarkable article, pub-
lislied hi the 'Coslnopolitan Magaz1ne,
for May, under ti-ie caption, " :Blasting
Of the of Ages, " Mr. Bolce gives
his discoveries. This articles is to be
followed by two.others in the June and
Julynumbers: -!
An epitome of this article shows that
in "h1mdreds of class-rooms it is being
taught daily that the decalogue is no
more sacr ed than a syllabus ; that the
home as an institution is doomed; that
there are no absolute evils; that immor-
.ality is simply an act in cont'ravention
Of society's accepted standards; that
democracy is a failure, and the Declara-
tion of Independence only spectacular
rhetoric; that the change from one re-
ligion to another is like getting a new
hat; that moral precepts are passing
shibboleths; that conceptions of right
:and wrong are as unstable as styles of
.dress; that wide stairways are open be-
tween social levels, but that to the
-climber children are encumbrances;
. that the sole effect of prolificacy is to
fill tiny graves; and that there can be
and are holier alliances without the
marriage bond than within it. '' The
:above, in brief , is what is being taught
:and instilled into the minds of thou-
sands of college students throughout
the United States. . Mr. Bolce makes it
plain, however, that in quoting the lan-
guage of a :certliin professor in any of
these great institutions 'does hot neC'es-
, -sarily c6mroit the whofe of the faculty
'tothat helief: ']]liis is uridoubtediyioa

upon the plastic minds of those who
must hear it,. unless there is at least a
partial acquiescence upon the part of
the faculty from the Chancellor down 1
The following are a few quotations
from the lips of these semi-infidelic
fessors as given by Mr. Bolce: . At
Syracuse University, a great Methodist
Institution Chancellor Day,
Rockefeller fame, . liolds . forth; Mr.
declares that he beard it stated
th.at "to change from one 1;eligion ' to
another is like getting a new hat." A
1Jrofesso1; in Ha:rva:rd teaches that
'' t_here a1:e no evils,'' and that
the ''highest ethical life consists at all
times in the breaking of rules whieb
have grown too riarrow for the actual
case.'' Mr. Boice puts it this way:
"That these professors teach young
men, women, plainly, tbat an immoral
act is merely one to . the pre-
vailing conceptions of society; and that
the daring who defy the code do not
offend any Deity, but simply arouse the
venom of the majority-the majority
that bas not yet grasped the new idea.''
lVIr. Bolce from his seat in the class-
room, addressing Professor Edwin L.
\
Earp of Syracuse Uniyersity, asked,
''Do you not believe, Professor, that
Moses got the Ten Commandments in
the way the Scriptures tell?'' The pro-
fessor smiled and answered, '' I do not.
It is unscientific and a bsurd to imagine
that God ever turned stonemason and
chiseled commandments on a rock." If
such an utterance is not closely allied
to the most blatant sacrilege, we miss
our guess; and yet this inan, denying
the Divine origin of the decalogue, is
teaching. this "1;ot" to thousands of
young nien and women. More, he is
frequently asked to preach from ortho-
dox pnlpits. i ,

make& this horrible insinua-
tion: "Wide stairways are opened be..i
tween the social levels, and men are ex-
pected to climb if they can, but to the
climber children are encumbrances.", .
This man, with such a loose moral
standard, further teaches 'i that a man's
children are not 'sent' any more than
the paintings on his wall or the horses
in his stable are sent," and ft#ther
says : ''The sole effect of prolificacy is
to fill the cemeteries with tiny graves
. . . sacrifices of the innocents to the
Moloch o immoderate maternity."
Mr. Boice found . the University of
Chicago, l\fr. Rockefeller
spent $25,000,000, bristling with pro-
gressive new thought: He thinks, how- .
ever, that "If it were dedicated to free-
thought and agnosticism.>' it could not
be more .outspoken in its
of many things in our orthodox the-
ology.
Note the attitude of Professor
.Charles Zueblin, of this great univer ..
sity, toward the mavriage relation:
'' There can be and are holier alliances
without the marriage bond than withirt
it. Every normal man or woman has
room for more than one person in
heart.' Like politics and religion, we ..
have taken it for granted that the mar-
riage' relationship is right and have not
questioned it. " But this is no wor8e
than what Professor Foster of this same
university says concerning the "Ten
fundamentals of Christianity." Read
his exact language :
1. we' W:ean ourselves from the
habit of picturing the God of the Universe
as the Bible God of the Book of Genesis.

6. In our new world a ll prophecy must
be relegated to the clairvoyant, the astrol-
oger, the caid reader and perhaps the spir-
itualist.
7. The only prayer we have a mora l right
to. pray is precisely the prayer which after
all we ourselves must answer.
8 ... The church is a burglar, an intruder,
practicing squatter sovereignity in territor-
ies where she has no constitutional right.
9. The clerical industry derives a n ' advan-
tage from religion and forges weapons out
of it to l'eep men i n bondage. .
10. To require assent to the thoughts and
commandments of sacred scripture is to lead
into s in. The Bible is the dried and petrified
remains of religion. The Bible of humanity
is greater and richer than the Bible of the
Christian.
A professot in Yale teaches that
''Anything tolerated by the world in
general is right.''
Another professor in the University
of Kansas teaches that ''standards of
right perpetually change in social life
in the same r ace from age to
age. '' .
We have given enough to make the
conscientious, orthodox reader heart-
sick. . It is clearly evident that the hoii-
. ness colleges have come just in time.
John Templ e Graves, writing upon
Mr. Bolce 's article, voices our senti-
ments exactly:
I protest the initial exploitation of these
"doubtful disputations" upon the great body
in whom an of us have s uch vital concern ..
I deny the right of teacher or professor to
talie such advantage of youth sent by ortho-
d ox parents to university han s.
I am neither preacher nor Puritan. I
n either cavil nor cant. I am an ordinary
man of the world, who, as unworthy as he
is, lteeps yet in reverence t h e old orthodox
faith of his fathers, and I do not hesitate
to say that if I h ad a son in one of these
colleges and I heard that such doctrines
were being fed to him out of t h e irreverent
lips of uninspir ed t hinl{ers, I would put my
h at on my h ead a nd wall{ up to the chan-
c ellor's office of t h at university and demand
on behalf of my son, and of other sons of
American citizens, that t hese i nte llectual
banditti of the c lassroom should practice
their license of opinion upon t he sunrise
clubs or the free thought societies to which
they b elong, or ought to belong, and to leave
unstaine d to these tender minds those old
honored and orthodox creeds by which Amer-
ican fath er s and mothers for over a hundred
years have Jed t heir children up to the
honor of t he American home and to the re-
spons ibility of the American citizen.

AN EVENTFUL ANNIVERSARY.
A. P. GRAVES, D. D.
Today, April 28, 1909, is the forty-
third anniversary of iny second bless-
ing experience. J esus was enthroned
as King in my heart at ten minutes to
5 o'cl ock, April 28, 1866. And praise
God, t he blessing came to stay. It was
a marvelous time of r eligions ,joy, com-
fort, and power. Many months I had
been hungering after righteousness, and
J csus fulfill ed his promise and ''filled''
me. My object in sending these few
anniversary lines to the Messenger is
not merely to t ell of my experience
a personal. testimony, but to show what
t he experience of t he second blessing
is worth to t he \Vorld by all who possess
it, be they or l ayman. I know
t here is a tendency to.desire it that the
soul may be filled with joy and they
made supremel y happy in Christ. That
is good, but there is much more. At
the time the Holy Ghost led me into t his

And while now, in a little more than
forty years I r esigned my pastor-

series of r evival meet'ings i:ry. about eight
hunched towns and cities of. our great .
country, and in every place have seen
numbers : of men, women and children
flocking to Christ, and have seen the
widespread of Bible holiness all about
me. I have hardly had .time to r ej oice,
I h.ave been so anxious .and glad to see
the salvation of men, but to see t he
power of this, truth in all its . es-

ness in the 1'eforms of today. \Vell may
the peopl e of God who believe that ' 'the
blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all

in the highway of holiness until our na-
tion shall be filled with the victories of
sovereign grace.

OUR MISSION.
EVANGELIST FRED ST. CLAIR.
I am more and mor e convinced t hat
God has thrust us out to spread the
''Second Blessing, properly so-called.' '
This is t o be our glory, and the only
thing to differentiate us from other
eccl esiastical bodies. Of course, we
must preach a high standard of r egen-
er ation; also preach on heU, judgment,
etc., but .we are peculiarly a holiness
church. \ Ve must insist upon entire
s_anctification as a distinct work . of
gr ace, wrought in t he hearts of believ-
ers instantaneously, by fa ith, now!
Amen !
I know that some say, " Vve have
heard t hat so much that it is stale and
does not affect us. \Ve a1e too ad-
vanced. "
Say, you would be aston ished, gentle
reader, to know t he-shall I call it-
ignoran ce that prevails in regard to this
precious doctrine. Ther e ought to be
many '' anointings," but if we keep t he
gilt edge experl.ence, and live just like
we started out to live when we were
first sanctified, we shall have the shine
on our faces, the clivine glory in our
souls, and shall compel men to see that
we have something different from the
prdjnary. Scores of professor s of.sane-
titi,cation have not lived . as obedient'y
as . when they . first . r eceived! .t;he-Holy

or . reading, or. companionships,
b!3c.ame negligent . of prayei", Scripture
. study, speaking to others about their
souls-in fact, ceased to be ''peculiar'' ;
hence. their powerlessness.
Go back to your original consecrra-
tion; determine to take the reproach
connected with the blessing, and see if
the old-time fire will not fall again.
Honestly now, are you ncit shrinking
from testifying before your family, to
having been wholly sanctified? 'Do you
not call it "baptism of the Holy
. Ghost,'' ''free and full salvation,''
"having the victory," etc. Well now,
get right dowil on your marro:w bones
and confess your cowardice. Take up
your cross where you laid it down.
Testify definitely, keep sweet in your
soul,- urge others to plunge in-spread
it in every way you can. Buy good
books and lend them; give them away.
Then secure subscribers for our Mes-
. senger and other holiness papers-in
fact, be an aggressive Christi'an. God
did not sanctify you with the distinct
understanding only that you were to
be a soldier. You are to "fight" if you
would "reign. " Hallelujah! .
I yon have lost the blessing, what?
Go right back over the same track.
Confess to the Lord, or men, if neces-
sary. Get under the blood. If the Lord
can take a vile sinner and make a saint
out of him, why not restore you through
the power of the same blood ? It has lost
none of its efficacy. Right now. Your
case is not hopeless. J oh'n Fletcher,
the holiest man th:tt has lived since St.
Paul, lost the experience five times be-
cause of failure to testify definitely. If
the Lord would restore him, why not
you? Yield all to Him at once.
Do not delay. Expect Him to answer
by fire at any moment. D.o not let
Satan cheat you out of the joy another
minute. Believe God. Satan is a liar.
Amen and hallelujah! "Oh, the joy of
full salvation, how it thrills my inmost
soul!'' Praise the Lord !- Nazarene
Revivalist.

We left. Plainville,. Kansas, with the

people as you can find. They have a. .

We left Plainville in northwest Kan-

wher.e we put in the day with the Holi-

They think that a strong church can
soon be planted in this city of 40,000
people.
V\Te arrived at Ponca City, Tuesday
night in time . to preach to the saints
there. We found the old hall packed.
The fire is stiltburning and victory roll-

foundation of the new church, which
the pastor estimated would cost $3000.
We left Wednesday afternoon for
Guthrie, where we met a preacher who
r ecently came'' into our church and will
take pastoral work us.
Next we went to Oklahoma City,
where we organized with 36 fuembers,
seven of whom are ordained elders.
Rev. G. W. Sawyer was chosen pastor.
The blessings of the Lord were truly
upon us there. The Board that for-
. merly controlled the Rescue Home in
Oklahoma City gave the home to the
Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene,
which will select a ' new board and sell
the present property, which can be sold
any day for five thousand dollars cash.
We will move back a little farther away
from the school and build a new hom,e,
equip it and begin rescue work in this
new district soon. The N azar enes have
been wanting a Rescue Home in Okla-
homa, and now we have one.
I went to Duncan Saturday and Sun-

church. There is a spirit of liberty
there also.
Then I ran home to visit Sister Jerni-

A NOTE OF :rHANKS.
P ermit me to 'express our (myself and
wife) thanks thus publicly to the many
dear friends for their kindness during
my sickness. They began coming and
kept it up and each r eturning ones did
not leave without blessed season of
prayer, and these visits were so close
together that it seemed as though a
heavenly fragrance-pervaded our home,
and not being able to '"ork my own
personal has been so bless-
edly precious that on the whole I can
readily see how t _his -has worked for my
good. Praise the Lord forever! But
the central event occurred on May 3d,
being my wife's birthday, 'Vheri quite
early after, lunch some of the dear
friends began to come in unexpectedly
and we could not but notice they car-
ried peculiar or mysterious packages
-\vhich when we came to really under-
stand meant a birthday surprise for
''\rife, with all kinds of good things to
eat for the family, with sprinkling of
silver for necessities. The one lament-
able feature was the absence- of my wife
on a business errand, but we had a
Nazarene meeting very precious, and
during the evening another company
came who had not been able to attend
during the afternoon, a number of .un-
saved ones being among the company
whom we have been permitted to niin-
ister to some little in our mission work;.
Altogether the_ great good.nesB of God to
us_ ha been _so thro_ugh ' the_-
dent: ones as to move our hearts greatly, .
for which we return thanks.

a 'few hours crossing the plains, along
by way of the sea, and l iterally

other place in the universe, without it
was Heaven, and 'vith many even that
would be questionable. We fo\md this
California law in force 'at Santa Bar-
bara and it is always a delight. The
city itself seemed little changed since
our last visit, nineteen years ago. The
great Potter. Hotel has been built and
a Roman Catholic college, a beautiful
boulevard along the coast, and consid-
erable suburban road making, parks,
etc. It has about 12,000 people. I did
not .have opportunity to enquire very
fully, nor to make observations as to
its spiritual-life. There ar e the usual
makeup of church; the same buildings
as far as i observed were here as when
we last looked upon the city. The Faith
Mission was also here then and abides,
and I heard that it had been having
good m'eetings. I was told that
the pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
preaches full salvation. I nevet
know any more just hoW" much that
means. I have so . often found that it
- . . to.
means . so little; but we can only pray
that he and others may lead the people
into the . blessing which was once so
prominent, and the glory of Methodism,
but which has so generally grown dim
or entirely departed. There is no Pen-
tecostal Church of the Nazarene here.
In Southern. California there has been
little effort to plant the church in places
other than where there has been earn-
est calls for it. These have kept the
cltU.rc\1 busy and . caused it to enter
most the towns; but the time seems
near at hand when we must not only
go wher e we are called, but also go
where we are sent- to all the world.
Our friends showed us the city, suburbs,
and sea

opened to us anew the fountains of their

and avenues and groves; and as we

WHAT DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT DO
l"OR OUR MENTAL LIFE?
This is a vital _question. The themes
Christianity gives us to consider, and
our utter inability naturally to compr e-
hend them, require the assistance of
some one to whom the mind of God is
known and who is also acquainted with
the condition of the mind of the indi-
. man: The .Divine being is not
conceivable in the essence of His nature.
Absolute spirit separate from all rela-
tions to matter precludes our grasp.
The Trinity is a numerical contradiction
according otir _mentality._
an agency implies action.
The Holy Spirit iri his person-
ality acts to,vard, upon, and in us, and
in those acts reveals to us God-Christ
-and (indirectly) Himself. This per-
son does not always act the same, even
with the Saine person to be acted upon.
Some truth .. 'h.e makes us to know by
feeling; some by an intellectual grasp ;
some is to be worked out' in practical
life by his assistance. Christ depended
upon the Spirit showing the disciples
the truth concerning himself. In pray-
ing to Chrjst we not only want a right
m'otive and inspir ation, but we need
revealed to U:s "what we should pray
for.'' Thousands. of earnest, honest
hearts have sought and desired many
spiritual things, but, through false
teaching, or want of mental discern-
ment have failed tQ sec11re them. All

PASADENA, CAL.
The attendance at t he Sabbath morn-
ing service in the P entecostal Church
of t he Nazarene was very good. '!.'he
theme for t he morning was, ''The
r aments and Holiness." The sacrament
r eferred to in this service was baptism.
Bro. Walker read for a Scriptur.e les-
son the si xth chapter of Romans, and
took the third verse of the same chap-
ter for his t ext. He explained very
clearly that it is not the mode of bap-
. tism, but the of"baptism, that
counts.

SPANISH MISSION.
"" God has been with us in much bless-
ing the past two weeks. Our stu-
dents are making progress. We need
text-books in Spanish, saving time in
translating. Our missionaries and
students gathered for a group picture
on Saturday for the College Catalog,
seventeen in number, and there were
three or four who could not come.
W.e have the beginning, well begun,
of a Mexican branch of the Pacific
Bible College. We yet lack the "fac-
ulty," but God has given the faculty
of vision and purpose, and the prom-
ise to lead on and supply all our needs,
and what more should we desire? We
intend to keep on the move as He
leads on. Our Sunday services were
very blessed all day. Miss Esther
Smith was with us in the afternoon
and left with us added inspiration to
pray avd work for missionaries for
the "Qeedy Spanish fields.
Our Plaza. meeting was very large-
several hundred. We meet Socialism
and many other devilisms there, but
God's.presence and power with us was
marvelously manifest. Twice they
came against us and were driven back
by the sword of the Spirit, the word
of God. Our young meri are learning
wisdom in dealing with the enemy.
Thli! platform service at night in
charge of the missionaries was very
precious; our boy preacher Valentine
stirred our hearts with promise of
future as he gave the word
with great un_ction and power. . We
praise God for "our. folks" arid the
way they go through with Jes-qs.

"W.e have been asked to announce as

would seem inconsistent for the 'Vit-

COLLEGE NOTES.
BY LEORA MARIS, . PRlNCIPAt..
The articles by Harold Bolce, in the
May, June and .July numbers of the
Cosmopolitan, on .'' A Blast at the Rock
of Ages,'' with the able editorials on
same, in the Literary Digest, Chicago
Inter Ocean, and Christian --witness
especially, have deeply stirred our col-
lege students, and Monday morning we
-adjourned a part of the classes to en-
joy the privilege of Dr. Holse
lecture on the subject.
For the past few years --we have mar-
veled much as to what God's plan
might be in having spring forth, al-
most simultaneously in this country, in
England, and in some foreign lands,
such a number of Holiness, Bible
Schools, and Colleges of Learning, but
we see them today as God's antidote for
the poisonous teachings, in the secular
and many of the denominational
schools, colleges, and universities of the
land. When the serpents bit the chil-
dren of Israel in the wilderness, God
caused Moses to raise up the brazen
serpent, ''There was life for a look,':
there was death without a look. --
Thousands upon thousands of -the
rising generation, who are to make our
laws and govern our land in the future,
are today being poisoned not only in
our great colleges and universities, but
in our public schools, of both city and
country. Even in the Los Angeles
city schools your children must have
Christmas without Christ, and all their
Christmas songs without the Christ
OBITUARY
KING-Rev. John Wesley King
passed away very quietly at an early
hour in the. morning. He has been a
sufferer from hea rt trouble for several
years, but -has beeii confined to his room
only since his r eturn from California
two weeks ago. Hope of his ultimate
r ecovery was entertained until a day
or two ago. Even the last night he. was
able to walk into the bath room and
with the help of his wife take a warm
bath. at 1 o'clock. After returning to
his bed he talked calmly and cheerfully
on the one great subject that has filled
his life, religion. . Mrs, King read to
him Hebrews, 11th chapter, and he
talked particularly of the 16th verse.
After an hour or so he fell into a quiet
sleep from which he never awoke. The
attention of his wife was attracted at
about 5 o'clock by peculiar breathing
and with two or three gasps he ceased
to breathe.
John Wesley King was born near L!!--
)J.arpe, Ill., March 11, 1860. His par-
ents :who were . native.s .of __ O;hio
child, or the Babe in the manger. Holi-
ness Bible schools and in:;;titutions of
learning are God's remedies for the aw-
ful scourge of infidelity, higher criti-
cism, new: thought, evolution, sneers at
patriotism and the constitution of the
United States, denial of the sanctity of
the home, and the marriage vows, that
children are a hinderance to those. who
wish to climb in the world of thought,
and that all men are not born free and
equaL - .
All this, and this added- that to con-
fine ourselves to following the teachings
of J esus Christ will hinder all proper
progress; that the Bible is behind the
times, and that the ''God of Genesis''
is not the God of the Universe, and that
the '' Doctrine of the Fall is blasphem-
ous, against both God and man.'' All
this a nd much more is now being
taught to the young people in the
schools, colleges and universities of our
land.
The Holiness Bible schools and insti-
tutions are the remedy. Pray that they
may increase ten fold, and may the
Pacific Coast soon see on Melrose Hill,
the great holiness institution of learn-
ing, crowned with its holiness Bible Col-
lege, which - has been in tlre mind of
God, perhaps from all time. Amen and
amen, Lord, "Hasten thy word .to per-
form it.''
N. B.-If you have not read it, read
Rev. J. W. Beeson's article on :"Chris-
tian Education" in the last Messenger.
He is president of one of the Meridian
holiness colleges, and his artiele is most
and most timely.
back to that state when he was about
two years old, settling near Zanesville.
_There he lived until coming west in
1886: He was of an intensely religious
nature always; was converted in a
:Methodist church near his home when
but fourteen years of age, and began
preaching at 19, having r eceived the
baptism of the Holy Spirit a year prev-
ious to this.
Until the age of 28 he preached and
attended school, getting his education
in this way, In 1886 he came to Colo-
rado, going first to Eaton, where he or-
ganized the Congregational church and
served as its first pastor. He was or-
dained at that place by Dr. Gross, now
of Fort Collins and Dr. Gregg, now of
Colorado Springs. Two years later he
returned to Ohio and married Miss Eva
Brundage at her home near Bluffton.
'Returning west he occupied a pulpit
at Silverton and later at the V.illa Park
church in Denver. He entered the
evangelistic work . and adopted Weld
county as his special field of labor. He
organized the church at Ault and .the
Nazarene church in Greeley. Of il1is

A gentleman was once preaching to
a, large congregation of _Chris.tians, and
urging them to work fo.r . their Master .
At the close of his addr(!ss, a lit tle boy
from the further est end of the hall
made his way . t hrough the crowded
se_ats to the platform, and touching t he .
preacher's arm, said, ' ' If . you : please,
sir; what can I do for the. IJO,rd 1 I am
willing to work for Him." The gen-
tleman hardly knew how to answer, so
be quietly lifted up his heart to God,
and trust Him to give the -right
sage for t his volunteer . .
'' \-Yell, '' said he, ''are you con-

'' Oh! Yes, sir,'' was the quick an-
swer.
"Have yon a mother and father q"
"I have a- mother , sir: "

the next question.
"Oh, yes, sir."
" And your brothers and sisters 1"
continued the good man.
"I haven ' t any, please, sir. "
''Then ha, ve yqu .a companion ?''
" Oh, yes, t here is Charlie, " was t he
quick reply.
''\Veil, my boy, is Charlie con vert-
ed ?"
''No, heain't,sir. ' ' . . .
"Then go and try and get him
and t hat will be working for the Lord."
With a glad heart the little f ellow
r an off. As "soon as he got home he
rushed up to his little room, and ]melt
down.
. ' ' Please, dear Lord, convert Charlie.

said again and again.
Presently Charli e himself came

A. T. Pierson gives tls the following
analysis of the diffe.r eut .ways of giv-
ing:
1. The Carel ess vYay-To . every
cause that we are asked for, regard-
l ess of its mer'its.
2. The Impulsive Way-As . often
and as mucll as pity and sensibility
prompt.
3. The Laz:v Way -Making up
fairs, festivals, suppers, etc;
4. The Sel f-Denying Way-Save
' the cost of luxuries.
5. The Systematic \Vay-One-tenth ,
one-third, one-half, etc., adapted to
rich and poor alike: .
6. The Equal vYay-Give to God as
much as we spend on ourselves . .
7. The Way-Limit our
expenditures to a ertain sum and give
all t he rest. Thi . . was John Wesley's
way.
ACQUAINTJm WITH GOD.
There was woman.in Leicester ,
England, whose custom it was to carry
flowers to the hospital, and talk about
their souls to patients, nurses and even
doctors. One of the doctors, standing
in the doorway one day, remarked:
''Do you believe God will hear your
prayers? I'm hard up. If I asked Him
would he send me 5 ''
'!'he old l ady answered: ''If you
were introduced to the Prince of Wales
'\\'ould you put your h and in his pocket
at 1nce?"
"No," he said, "not till I knew him
better."
''You will need to be a great deal
better acquainted with God before you
can expect such an answer . to your
wish. "
But we may be so well acquainted
with God that it will be perfectly nat-
ural to bring to Him, as our nearest
and best friend, every need of our souls.
