eve God's promises. I have sometimes asked a man, "Good friend,
are you saved!" "Well, no, I am not saved." "Are you lost?" "Oh, God
forbid! I am not lost." "Where are you, then, if you are neither
saved nor lost?" May God wake us up to the fact that we are all in
one state or the other!

Mr. M.--What if any of them should fall into sin after they have
come to Christ?

Mr. R.--God has provided for the sins of His people, committed after
they come to Christ, as surely as for their sins committed before
they came to Him. Christ "ever liveth to make intercession for all
that come unto God by Him." "If we say that we have no sin we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our
sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness." . . . . For, "if any man sin, we have
an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He is
the propitiation for our sins." He will take care of our sinful,
tried and tempted selves, if we trust ourselves to Him.

Mr. M.--Is it not said that if we sin willfully after we have
received the knowledge of the truth, "there remaineth _no more_
sacrifice for sins?"

Mr. R.--Yes. Paul wrote it in his Epistle to the Hebrews. Some of
them were trifling with the blood of Christ, reverting to the types
and shadows of the Levitical Law, and trusting to a fulfilled ritual
for salvation. He is not referring to _ordinary acts of sin_. By
sinning willfully he means, as he explains it, a "_treading under
foot the Son of God_," and a total and final apostatizing from
Christ. Those who reject or neglect Him will find no other sacrifice
for sin remaining. Before Christ came the Jewish ceremonies were
shadows of the good things to come; but Christ was the substance of
them. But now that he has come to put away sin by the sacrifice of
Himself, there is no other sacrifice for sin remaining for those who
reject Him. God will send no other Saviour, and no further
atonement; no second "fountain shall be opened for sin and
uncleanness." There remains, therefore, nothing for the rejector of
salvation by Christ, but "a fearful looking-for of judgment."

Mr. M.--There are some who say they do not know that they have the
right kind of faith.

Mr. R.--God does not ask us if we have the right kind of faith. He
tells us the right thing to believe, and the right faith is to
believe the _right thing_, even what God has told us and promised
us. If I t
