And tbeo be saw toe pit-thre of a Chris
tian world. He eaw those who were
seeking to solve the painful riddle of IKe
sod ito solution, thst God had sent his
Bon a* a than into human life, ai no
longer possible. He snw a woman, sick
hi a hospital. She -was one who had gone
far wrong, and had strange experience,
and now she wa* dying. She sent for
the wise man of toe time fo help her.
She told him tout when that she had
strayed she had been brought to that
hospital and a nurse had tied her about

and the wise man said: “Tia

women I* tent to have her body healed
and they use the opportunity to entice
her to follow their euperetlllone." And
the sick women cried, "How comes tt

But the wise man woe silent. Then
tba toM him how Christ had comforted
her and stilled her fears, and borne her

And than It was the old temptation cam*

and when She needed most at thia crisis

without, hta book, in which humanity'*
put Into her hands. Her heart told her
he teachings were false, bat it |* easy
to believe wbat one wtahes to believe, and
so it came about that she tried, to per
suade -herself that tod arguments were
unanswerable, and 'must needs accept
them. Thus toe had paltered -with her
conscience and deceived herself. But the
was saved from toe tdn she would have
committed by the death of him for love
of whom she would again have sinned.

would believe again toe could not, for

tent for tire wise than to ask him what
he could givo her, a dying woman. In
place of the faith she had lost But toe
wise man was silent, "and when I looked
he was gone and the woman was dead.”
