'Saved or tins -awed" ,B' r 'PEG'S, Him' In the chapter eru of Lukthe e, in speaking fixion we have the wonderful story of the conversion of one of the thieves: Take your Bibles and read this story. If we know it God will reveal some new meaning to us and if we have never read, it, the truth there revealed may mean a great deal' in our liven. In spite of the fact that God may not give us any warning of our last call, yet it, reveals to us the fact that God will always receive us if we ask Him to. Many have been brought to Christ 'in the last years of their lives. One sorrow in con- nection with that is that we have spent a wasted life as far as Eternity is concerned. How sad it will be for us to have to stand before the throne of God and Peel that we have come empty- handed, that there is no one to say to us: "He was the means of bringing me to Christ." Have we ever given that any serious' thought? The thief who was sav- ed at the last minute accepted all that Christ could give him and yet be shared the love of God with'not one soul. Be would stand alone. Better that than not be with Christ at all but what a tragedy! We read. that the thief on the other side joined the scoffers in -ailing, on Christ. The other man called to him: "Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation and we justly for we receive the due reward of our deeds, butthis men hath done nothing amiss." We won- der just what brought the real- ization to him that Christ had some characteristics which he felt were necessary in his life. He had perhaps been 'watching the patient way in which Christ bore custom,prior to our e, we, try to write on here the man or wont- is onis closely connected 'Saviour.

There has been an immense increase in glass area with all windows deepened and widened. The windshield takes full advantage of wider bodies, curving inward at the narrowed pillars to improve sideway at well as forward vision. The gain in visibility over 1948 has been as much as 30 per cent on comparable models. The new Chevrolet for 1949 is powered by a rugged six - cylinder, valve -in -head engine: that there was no time for the thief to then start to do good works. It was not works Willett saved the thief, nor will it be works except those done in the name of Christ which will count for us at the great day of Judg- ment. It was nothing but the acceptance of Christ which was the mean's of the thief s salvation and that is all that is necessary for our salvation. Eternal life with our Saviour is free, all we have to do is to accept Christ and take Him as our personal Saviour. We can do nothing to come into their lives. There• are,many who are sorry for their sins, but yet they never repent, Death comes to each one a us once and as it finds us end leaves us so shall we be through all' eternity. It will indeed be dreadful if we make our choice and have to spend eterinty with- out our Saviour. The two, one on either side of Christ had sinned, they were pay- ing the price of their folly. They both heard the jeering crowd and each listened to the cry of Christ: "Father, forgive them for they more. That is all we are asked know not what they do." As to do.
