But what does this mean? First, he follows Christ as Saviour, that S i t i he finds n be cross of Christ the forgiveness of his sins and reconciliation with God. Second- ly he depends upon Christ for grace and power to live life as it ought to be lived. Thirdly the Christian follows Christ as an example. Be tries to be like Christ and to follow His teaching that we love God with all our heart and love our neighbour as ourselves. Fourthly the Christian will pray daily and study his Bible as Jesus did. Thus to be a Christian is an affair of the heart as well as of the head. Many believe in Christ with the head, but to believe in Him with the heart means to commit 0111' lives to Him as Master and Lord— not only to love Him but to obey Him. Are we Christians?—R,P.D.H, LEFT FOR COLLINGWOOD Captain and Mrs. Dougall and daughter left on Wednesday for Col. Lingwood.
