I couldn’t make itout. It seemed to me that the natural order of 29) things had been reversed. Before the week was out Jones escorted Mrs. Temple to the theater, Brown had taken her out for a drive. and there were well founded rumors that Smith had sent her a bouquet. i then set to work to find who Mrs. Temple was. No one could give me any information beyond the fact that she was the widow of a Nevada mine own- er. and that she had come cast for the .pur- pose of disposing of some mining property. She had charts and maps and diagrams of lands and mines, and seemed to be well posted as iothe business on hand. It was. however, the general impression that she was a sharper or adventures. with a man behind her somewhere. and it was further told me that Brown. Smith and Jones. in- dividually and collectively, were infatu- ated with her. I always wondered why she did not at— tempt to secure my assistance in her proj- ect, but she probably either mistrusted that l suspected her. or she thought she could work her cards without my assist: ance. While each of the three partners knew that each of the others had been ap- preached on the same subject—that of buying the mine—neither of them know that the other had been done for by her fascinating ways. I have the strongest grounds for stating three separate and dis tinct beliefs: Yirst—‘l'hatJouee expected to marry her. ”Second—That Brown expected to marry Thirdc-‘l'hat Smith had become so in- fatuated that he would have ran away with her, leaving wife, business and all. Well. the proposition to buy her silver mine came up at the business meeting one morning. There was nothing in the looks or words of either party to lead one to rain trust that he had ever met her or talked it over before. It would have been proper to send some expert out to the mine to inves- tigate and report. but she had given them the names of partio to write to. and it was agreed that it reports were favorable thedealshould be closed. l now for the first time learned of the location of the mine. i had not only been on the site and knew the mine to he worthlem. bathed friends there who would aim the fact. Under directions of the ilrm I wrote to the addremgiveu by Mrs. Temple. Aetingon my own judglneat.l also wrote to disin- terested parties. While waiting for answers to these let tern Brown to denly asked the other two members of the firm to congratulate him. as be had decided togetmsrried. They had hardly done so when Jones annonnwd that ho had also decided on the same step. Smith couldn’t follow suit. having a wile slresdy, but be flushed up and looked eon- fnsed, and seemed about to declare that he was going to alone. but caught himselfand stopped short.

But here is wondrous user and continued grace to a wicked man. The king of Israel was Johann. sonoi Ahab. and he wrought evil in the sight of the Lord. cleaving unto the sins of Jeroboarn. theson of Robot (chap. iii, l—3). and yet this is not the first time that God has shown him kindnen through Elisha. 10. ”And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of. and saved himself there. not once. our twice." "God llutl‘l spoken once; twice have 1 henrd this. that power belongeth unto God." and this power is continually being put forth on behalf of sinful man to brag: back his soul from the pit. but though ‘ speaketh once-yea. twice—yet man per ceiveth it not (Pu lxii. 11;.loh xxxiii. ll. baa-veil). l-l. "Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing." ' it was not his sins that troubled him. but the fact that he could not catch his Q prey. and that his enemy so successfully eluded him l2; "hllisha, the prophet that is in Israel. telleth the king of lsrael the wordsthat thou speaks-st in thy bed bomber." Like the servants of N an, these serv- ants seem wiser than their master. for "Great men are not always wise” (Job Hall. 9). - is. "And he said, Go and spy where he is, that l may send and fetch him." The Lord so etl'ectually bid Elijah that Ahab and all his searchers could not ilnd him anywhere in all the land (l Kings xviii.10). He also hid Baruch and Jere miah so that their enemies could not find them (.ler. xxxvi. 26), Yet this unbeliever thinks to capture one who could any of God. ”Thou art my hiding place; Thou shall preserve me from trouble: Thou shalt compass me about with songs of do lirerance" (Pa xxsii. 7). “The wicked watcheth the rightconu and seeketh to slay him. but the Lord will not leave him in his hand" (Po. xxxvii. 33-38). "And it was told him saying. Behold. he is in Dothau." H. "Therefore sent he thither horses and clmrlotsnmlrigrrem host. and they came by night and minnow-led the city about." - Surely they haul their man now, and en cape was lmmlhle Thus it seemedto human «yea. l5 "And when the servant of the man of God was risen early. and gone forth, be hold.nn host compassed the city both with horses and chariots."

"And his urn-ram said unto him. Alas. my master! how shall we do?"

In "And he answered, Fear not.” From Gen. xv. l. to Rev. i. if how often that precious word "Fear not" has stilled the troubled soull But before it can give peace it must be spoken by one whohas some ground and authority for saying it. “They that be with us are more than they that he with them.
