Ewart. "Have salt in yourselves," said Jesus once to his disciples. Get that which will give to your life that peculiar relish and power which will distinguish you from an easy-going, pleasure-loving, Christless world, One of the ingredients of this kind of salt is peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Get this at any cost. It is more precious than gold. "The gold and the crystal cannot equal it, and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold." One important distinction between a true Christian and a worldly man is the possession of this sweet, rich peace. It is the consciousness that God is smiling upon us. It is the realization that all is well with our souls. We have settled the greatest of questions by accepting God's solution of it and by taking the abundant pardon he lias freely provided in Christ. Upon him we have rolled the burden of our guilt. To him we look for daily cleansing and renewal. We are strong for life's duties and calm amid life's trials through the grace which he imparts. We look forward with confidence into the unexplored future because we are sure he will do for us "exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think." Now such psace is an anchor to the soul. You cannot stampede the man who has t. Men go down in the fierce battle of life for lack of this strength of soul which is born of God in him who accepts Jesus Christ's solution of the problems of sin, death and the hereafter. The prophet Elisha was once appealed to by the men of Jericho to heal the unwholesome waters of their city. In obedience to God's word he cast into "the spring of the waters" a new cruse of salt and the fountain was purified. Now when we are justified by faith and have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Ulirist we have had healing salt cast into the very fountain of life. Dr. Banks describes the experiences of a lady who passed through the terrors of the siege of Vicksburg and had had the awful din of bursting shells and the roar of cannon and turmoil of war ringing in her ears for weeks. To such a one the coming of peace was most welcome. "Silence and night," she wrote to a friend, "are once more united. It seems to me I can hear the silence and feel it, too. It wraps me like a soft carment: liow else can I express this peace?" Such is the experience of a man who has heard the Rims of an accusing conscience thundering within him their warnings and thi'eatenings and has appealed to him by whose blood we are "sprinkled from an evil conscience." The comfort of a great peace has come to that soul. The world with all its pleasures and gains cannot give the heart such peace. It is the | distinctive and peculiar gift of Jesus Christ to any and every penitent, believing and obedient soul.?'New York Observer.
