For many years he had missed the mark, seeking and searching through philosophy and religion, but there came the day when the light of the glorious gospel of Christ flooded his whole being. Since that day the years had rolled by in swift succession. Years filled with hardships, strifes, and the agonies of prision, in fact these glorious words of assurance were writ- ten in prision. And yet Paul could say, "what is prision with the Llght of the World in it?" He could say, "I know in Whom my trust reposes." This then is faith triumphant. To Paul belief in God was essential, and companionship with Jesus Christ was vital. The ship on which he was being taken to Rome as a passenger was wrecked, but Paul clung to the rigging of the sinking and floundering ship shouting triumphantly, "I believe God". From every worldy viewpoint, Paul was a failure. Festus called him a madman. Even his best friends sought to dissuade him from a course which was evidently leading him into danger, but he continued to say, "I know in Whom I have believed". And now his life is drawing to a close he is im- prisioned and lonely, but not ashamed. When writing to the Romans he could say, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes." He was saying that the gospel had never caused him to blush, had never brought him shame...After all, what is there to be ashamed about in being a Christian, except it be that we are sure poor Christians. Then we have just caused to be ashamed. The Story is told of a frail old woman in an Italian village during one of the wars of many years ago. The recruiting band was marching from village to village gathering young volunteers as it went. In turn they brought their weapons, guns and swords, and fell in at the tail end of the marching column. The old woman was so stirred by the marital music, that she went hurriedly into her little cottage. She had no sword or gun, but she had a brôomstick, and with that at the slope she joined the march. Her fellow villagers laughed, to think of a silly little old woman with no weapons going to war. She hurled back at thern her reply, 'I don't care so long as you know whose side I am on.' This is the kind of committment needed in this day. The Christian must let men see that there is no question of their ture allegiance; that ail may know that they are assurdly and undoubtly the Lord Jesus Christ's; that theirs is a faith that satisfies; that Jesus Christ is a Saviour so complete, a master so amazing and a friend who is altogether wonderful.

If Paul were here today men would be startled by his logical incisiveness and his intellectual brilliance. If Paul lived in this age he would be found probing deeply into problems that stir the souls of men. Religion to Paul was not only emotion, it was common sense. Christ was not a sen- timental acquisition, but a logical necessity. Paul pushes beyond reason and philosophy. His mind finds its highest satisfaction in a person. Men may attempt to arrive eventually through the philosophy of men, but in the end it will be necessary to find the urge for faith in one Who has lived sacrificially and supremely. It is at this point that Paul comes to the climax of argument. 'I know in Whom I have believed.' Between You and Me By RUTH COLES j IJJ a Paul is saying: 'What I have thought through finds full meaning in the person of Jesus Christ. To Him I have at- tached my affections." Paul had a deep knowledge of Jesus Christ, and he was quite certain that Christ was able to keep those whom He is able to save. But it is necessary for men to committ themselves to Christ. For, says Paul 'I know in Whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have commit- ted unto Him against that day.' Will return next week 30OFFICES TO SERVE YOU BETTERi
