JAN 2 0 ’5g January 18,1956 We walk by faith, not by sight. All human calculations are made with the assumption that God will not alter them by orders unknown to us. But we know “not what a day may bring forth.” Only God “knoweth the way that I take.” He alone sees “the end from the beginning.” Faced as wc are with so many reminders of the frailty and gravity of life, we should reject thoughts and words that are flippant or ar­ rogant. “Ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do

j o r General Superintendent Williamson this, or that.” Such an attitude indicates dependence upon God and faith in His wisdom, goodness, and mercy. It tends to cultivate humility, reverence, and submission. Fear produces frustration and moral paralysis, ending in morbid Now faith is the substance despair. But there is a faith that brings peace for today and confi­ dence for tomorrow. God’s hand is on the controls. He knows how of things hoped for, the evi­ to make “all things work together for good to them that love God, dence of things not seen. to them who are the called according to his purpose.” As we face the uncertainties of another year, there are some For by it the elders obtained thoughts of reassurance which fortify our faith. We can be sure a good report. Through that “God . . . will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape.” Our faith we understand that blessed Lord was “in all points tempted like as we are, yet without the worlds were framed by sin.” “In that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to the word of God, . . . with­ succour them that are tempted.” In gaining the victory for himself, He made possible our triumph over every attack of our mortal out faith it is impossible to enemy. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that please him. we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” There is victory with a margin, grace enough to make us “more than Heb. 11:1-6 conquerors.” Furthermore, we can live in the confidence that with every bur­ den or adversity God will teach us some new lesson of trust and patience, so that we will be the better prepared for the next test to which we may be subjected. God not only proves His grace sufficient in our time of trial; He also causes it to yield “the peaceable fruit of righteousness.” Therefore we can say with the Psalmist, “I will fear no evil.” The final payoff will come when Christ opens heaven’s portal and says, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom pre­ pared for you” (Matt. 25:34).

The one sheep in the story of the ninety and nine was called a lost sheep, and in this condition it represented a sinner that needed Modern Miracles to repent (see Luke 15:7). The prodigal son became a lost sheep when By OVELLA SATRE SHAFER he went away from his father’s house: but when he returned home and repented, the father received The patterns of myriad snoiuflakes, him back, not as a servant, but as a son.

But when he re­ When miracles take place. turned home, he was made alive again; that is, the 8 (1084) • HERALD OF HOLINESS second time. Evidently this prodigal son repre­ sents a backslider who was reclaimed. This makes it very evident that a sheep (or a son) can pluck itself (or himself) out of the Father’s hand by straying away, and in so doing lose spiritual or eternal life once possessed. The Apostle Paul said to the Hebrews: “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, . 1 . if they shall fall away, to renew them again [the second time] unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.” There was a custom among the Jews to compel converts to Christ to blaspheme Him in order to be received back into Judaism. Even Paul, before he was converted, compelled some to blaspheme Christ (see Acts 26:11), but he did so before he had tasted the good word of life, and was made partaker of the Holy Ghost. Not all who fall away are guilty of such an act, and such may repent and be restored to divine favor. The promise is: “I will heal their backsliding” (Hos. 14:4).

A Teen-ager Talks About God

WHEN I AM WORRIED AND CAN’T SLEEP, AND friends very few, I can always take it to my Lord in prayer. When life’s a weary road so black and drear, and it seems my life’s journey is at an end, I know that my dear Saviour will always be near. Before I go to bed each night I pray and commit to God the activities of the day; and when I rise in the morning, bright and early, all seems bright and clear. I know, when I feel down and out, there is no more I can do if I read my Bible and go to my Lord in prayer. Then for the rest of the day I have peace and rest in God’s love. Now when Sunday comes around I get up bright and early, so I can go to the house of the Lord to hear the Word of God and worship with all my family and friends. When, in school, I have an examination that is to be taken, I just go to the Lord in prayer and I know God will help me if I pray my way through. My dear Saviour has blessed me in so many ways. As I go to church I feel safe and secure, and the people are so warm and friendly; they will talk with me and help me to pray. Our church isn’t as big as some, but I know that God looks over us and protects His children and answers their prayer. All we have to do is pray. So when you feel Him knocking at your heart’s door, just open your heart and let the sunshine of His love shine in. You will never regret it; I never have and never will. The above was given to me by one of my Sunday-school students and I thought it worth passing on to others.—G o r ­ d o n L. K e n n e d y , Pastor, Toledo (Sylvania Church), Ohio.

George Grenfell, early Baptist missionary to Africa, looked anxiously at a large number of packages lying on the banks of the Congo River. They were the parts of a steamship, the “Peace,” which had been taken apart and carried overland when rapids had made sailing impossible. The two engineers who were supposed to come and assemble it were long over­ due. What could have happened? Day by day passed, and Grenfell waited. And then word came that the engineers had been killed on the way. Added to that came the news that the workmen who were to help rebuild the ship were also killed. Who in all that great land could assemble a steamship? Grenfell went to his knees in prayer; then he went to work with his hands. Months later the “Peace” was ready and began her voyage of more than twenty years’ sailing up and down the Congo with the gospel of peace to the heathen.
