Show A CONVERT'S THOUGHT. I suddenly realized clearly- wdiat I had only suspected, sus-pected, before namely, that if the Church of Christ was, as I believed it to be, God's eway of salvation, sal-vation, it "was impossible that the finding of it should be a matter of shrewdness or scholarship, otherwise, salvation 'would be easier for the clever and leisured than for the "dull and busy. Two or three texts of Scripture began to burn before me." "A highway shall be there," wrote l3aiah ; " . . . the redeemed shall walk there . . . The wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." "A cit set on a hill,'' said our Savior, "cannot be hid." Again, "Unless you .' . . become as little, lit-tle, children, you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven." And again, "I thank thee, Father, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, pru-dent, and hast revealed them to the little ones." "Confessions of a Convert," Rev. R. H. Benson. |
