[Illustration: Fig. 30]

"This was the vision. It can come to every boy and girl. It has come
to countless thousands. To this boy of whom we speak it came to save
him from failure and death. No longer did the dread habit control
him. The battle was won, not by his own strength, but through Christ,
who strengthened him. Such strength will be yours every time you need
it to help and to keep you.

"And let us think for a moment of the great service of the friend who
led this young man to see the vision. Are we a friend to those who
need us? 'Brethren,' says Paul, 'if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye
which are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness,
considering thyself lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's
burdens.'

"May we ever be ready to lend a helping hand."
