The passage from John’s Gos-

recorded a part of the many things
that Jesus did and said, but the
things recorded are that we might
believe in Him and have life.
When we compare the story of
the life of Jesus, as told in the
Four Gospels, with the vast biog-
raphies on the shelves of every
with which the greatest story ever
told is written. There is much

Master as Saviour and Life-Giver.
In the passage in Acts we see
belief issuing in experience as a
small group meets on the Sabbath
outside of the city by a river, and
Paul speaks to the women there.
In the passage from I Timothy
is Paul’s injunction to a younger
man concerning sound thinking.
And if any man had a right to
give that advice, it was Paul. His
whole life was an example of the
determining power of belief. ”

The passage from I John em-

mal assent to touch the emotions
and quicken the inner man.
Here, then, is the sum of it all.
