But no sinner ever went to Him in the right spirit, who did not receive salvation. Jesus was the greatest of all mis sionaries. He came from heaven to seek and to save the lost, by bringing to them salvation. He came to con quer Satan, and showed His power of doing so, by driving out of men the devils by which they were possessed. In the face of the plain teaching of Scripture, let no one deny that men were really possessed of devils. In the short period of His life time on earth, and especially of His pub lic ministry, Jesus could not reach all the people of Palestine and spend enough time with them to win them to salvation, much less could He reach all the world. So He sent out first His twelve Apostles and then seventy other disciples, in order that they might tell of the coming of the Sav iour. So today He sends out His peo ple to tell those who are in ignor ance of Him, that He is the Saviour of sinners. Every Christian should be a missionary to some one or more who knows not Christ. One of the most important lessons taught in the Bible is that which deals with our duty to our fellowmen. The Jews held that they must render any assistance needed by a neighbor, pro vided he was a Jew. But they taught that there was no obligation resting hpon them to do anything for the ben efit of one of another race. Jesus, in the parable of tbe good Samaritan, taught that our neighbor is the man that needs our help. It is not a ques tion as to race or locality. Our near est neighbor, the one who needs us most, may be in Africa or China. Jesus was often beset by enemies, those who made slanderous charges against Him, and who would have done Him any harm that was possible. It is a comforl to know that He had friends, loyal and true, who loved Him and delighted to have Him in their home. How often we have en vied Martha and Mary, ang yet, why should we? We can have Him just as really in our homes, as they had Him in theirs. He offers to come In and abide in any home that wants Him. Jesus teaches us that we are to hypocrisy and to put our trust in Ood. He shows how Ood will treat us, by showing how He cares for the birds and flowers. Without any conceit, we can say we are worth more than they are. So we can be assured that Ood will take care of us, if we are as faith ful in fulfllling the purpose of our lives as are the birds and flowers. They do what Ood wants them to. If we will do what Ood wants us tn do, we ill never lack His care. SUNDAY-SCHOOL HELPS Tarbell's Teachers' Guide. By Mar tha Tarbell, Ph.D. Publishers, Flem ing H. Revell Company, New York. Price $2. This is the eighteenth an nual volume of the Guide. It is a wonderfully practical help in the study of the lessons. One of its striking features is the number of well-chosen selections from many of the great writers of the world. Usually the ex position is very good. But there is one very serious objection to it. Dr. Tarbell does not believe in the super* natural in the miracles of the Saviour, and never fails to try to explain them by natural causes. 1ms is, of course, practically denying the Inspiration of the Scriptures. For this reason it is not a safe book to put into the hands of young people or any others who are not well grounded In the faith. It seems strange that a writer of Dr. Tarbell's ability should undertake in this way to undermine the faith of her readers. The Gist of the liesson. By R. A. Torrey. Publishers, Fleming H.
