mination. Your modern "Christian" has "certain intellectual
difficulties"; is "not fixed in belief concerning Socinianism"; does
"not like the old idea of the Atonement"; in fact, is in a state of
fusion so far as his belief and faith are concerned. Men do not give
their life's blood for matters in which they have only a half-faith.
But when one is convinced that men are dying in the dark and that their
salvation depends in a measure on one's activity and fidelity, then one
is hot with zeal and fire from hat to heel and set to working for God
and eternal souls.

WEEPING OVER CHORAZIN.

This is the explanation of the zeal of men who are "burning for Jesus."
This is the reason men so frequently wear out in short order after they
are sanctified. They are dipped in fellowship with Christ's sorrow, and
beholding Him weeping over modern Capernaums and Chorazins their hearts
are melted at the sight, and they speed away to preach the gospel of
the lovely Son of God.

No wonder success comes to the sanctified man. Indwelt by the Shekinah,
filled with the Holy Ghost, his whole being energized with power and
force, "whatsoever he doeth prospers."

CHAPTER XI.

VISITS OF ANGELS.

DESCRIPTIVE PSALM.

The ninety-first Psalm is a painstaking description of the blessings
and benefits bestowed upon the man that "dwelleth in the secret place

and favored person is told that he is to have angelic guards and
ministers who will protect him and keep him "in all his ways."

GOD'S OWN.

The sanctified are in a peculiar sense God's own, and all the resources
of heaven are pledged to their protection. All the fire companies of
the firmament will turn out to extinguish a fire if it kindle on God's
saints. If need be, Jehovah will empty His balm jars but the wounds of
warriors shall be healed. Angels are detailed for our protection:
heavenly visitants hover near us lest the fires of affliction destroy
us.

UNDERSTANDING CHRIST.

The moment the soul is sanctified, it begins to understand Christ in a
new and delightful sense. It is given unto it to not only sit at His
feet in the temple, but to groan with Him in Grethsemane. It
understands Him, and, in suffering, is "as He is in this world."

A DARK HOUR.

It was a dark, dark hour for the Master. He had been pray
