back to him in which Jesus says: "All power is given unto Me in heaven
and on earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations ... and lo! I am
with you alway, even unto the end of the world."

The great missionary said of this verse: "It is the word of a Gentleman
of the most sacred and strictest honour, and there is an end on't. I
feel quite calm now, thank God."

Next morning he crossed the river without any difficulty, although the
bank was lined with savages armed to the teeth.

I think that is always the way when we trust in Christ. He has promised
never to leave us nor forsake us, and we can rely upon His word.




THE HAPPY MAN


Once upon a time there was a king who was very rich, but very unhappy.
He had a beautiful marble palace, with extensive parks and grounds, fine
horses and carriages, but he was not happy.

So one day he called together his court-messengers, and sent them out
into the world, telling them to travel far and wide until they found a
man who was happy beyond all others, and when they found him, to take
off his shirt and bring it to him. For he thought that perhaps by
wearing this shirt he might gain the happiness he sought.
