Himself from us.
The followingbeautiful story was
.printed some time ago and has been
a great help to those who have felt
that at times our Saviour was not as
near to them as they would like Him
to have been: An old Scotsman
lay very ill and his minister called
'to see him. As he sat down on a chair
near the bedside, he noticed on the
ether side of the bed a chair placed
at such an angle as to suggest that
a visitor had just left it. "Well Don-
-aid," said the minister glancing at
the chair, I see d ani not your first
-visitor. "The Scotsman looked up in
surprise, so the minister pointed to
the chair "Oh" said the sufferer "I'11
'tell you about that chair "Years ago,
I found it impossible to pray, Christ
eeemed so far away from me. I often
fell asleep on my knees and if I kept
awake I dould not control my
thoughts. They would wander. One
•day I .spoke to my minister about it.
He told me not to worry about kneel-
ing down. " Just sit clown and place, will jest go quietly away from home

Many of us in our younger days
have had the opportunity of watching
a blacksmith work. Probably he is
making wagon springs. The steel is
tested by heating it red hot and then
dipping it in cold water. If it takes the
temper it is hammered pounded and
shaped until it.is suitable for a spring
It is very much the same in our
Christian lives. Because we choose to
follow Christ that does not say that
we will have all smooth sailing. The
devil knows that we have made a
choice. He knows that he is going to
have Eo work hard persistently to keep
temptation in front of us. We will
have many trials troubles and temp-
tations. Job endured very severe test-
ing, but he acted as a Christian
should and if we do likewise all these
troubles will just be stepping stones
to lead us to higher things. In many
instances we have found that there
was comfort in nothing else and we
have thanked God that we head Him to
turn to. On our first Christmas with
a vacant chair we have felt. 'Oh' I

Very often when our loved ones
have passed on we seem to feel their
presence near us. There are many
people who live so close to their Hea-

must settle for ourselves. but see
