they had sometlilntf on their mind Moreover It would not havo been bard to de ermIne what that some thing was Wicy had each mado good resolu lions for the cowing yea Ind though they were the best of

had taught and board ed round said of tho snatch Shell bo the gray mare ot that team for she has gumption enough for two So it was neither a sudden nor an ca travagaut notion which Anna Allen lucid poised In mind during those early De cember days The summer holidays just passed had brought to Anna Allen a chance for es capo from the mental tortures of her po sition The editor of The Daily

missionary four and their report of their great power that even devils were subject to them Jesus said Notwithstanding in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you but rejoice rather because your names are written in heaven To have power over evil spirits for tho good of mankind would certainly bo cause for rejoicing but how much greater cause for rejoicing is the fact that our names am written In this Lambs book of life That record tells ns that wo are saved saved for time and eternity It tells us that we are the children of God and that God is special ly interested in us

which of course could not be done In Rev iii 5 Jesus says lie that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life This statement shows that It is possible for our names to be blotted out of Gods book of life What a sad catastrophe such a fate would bet If the chief joy of earth is In having our names written in heaven who can do scribe the sorrow of having them blot ted out t But though they may yet they need not be blotted out If we overcome overcome sin overcome triaJt overcome unbelief they shall not be And Jesus will help us so that wo can overcome Ho has overcome tho world and through Him Wo zany over cornell Let us be faithful to God in Christ and keep our names in the book of life fort thus only can we enter heaven
