f mine!" The question is: Will
you let Christ come in and save you? It is not a question of whether
He is able. Who will open their hearts, and let the Saviour come in?

"There's a stranger at the door:
Let Him in!
He has been there oft before:
Let Him in!
Let Him in, ere He is gone;
Let Him in, the Holy One,
Jesus Christ, the Father's Son:
Let Him in!

Open now to Him your heart:
Let Him in!
If you wait He will depart:
Let Him in!
Let Him in, He is your Friend;
He your soul will sure defend;
He will keep you to the end:
Let Him in!

Hear you now His loving voice?
Let Him in!
Now, oh now, make Him your choice:
Let Him in!
He is standing at the door;
Joy to you He will restore,
And His name you will adore:
Let Him in!

Now admit the heavenly Guest.
Let Him in!
He will make for you a feast:
Let Him in!
He will speak your sins forgiven,
And when earth-ties all are riven,
He will take you home to heaven,
Let Him in!"

_Rev. J. B Atchinson_

CHAPTER V.

LAW AND GRACE.

IN his Epistle to the Romans, Paul writes "For as by one man's
disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One

offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more
abound: that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace
reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our
Lord."

Moses was the representative of the law. You remember that he led
the children of Israel through the wilderness, and brought them to
Jordan; but there he left them. He could take them up to the river,
which is a type of death and judgment; but Joshua (which means
Jesus--Saviour) led them right through death and judgment--through
the Jordan into the Promised Land. Here we have the difference
between Law and Grace; between the Law and the Gospel.

Take another illustration. John the Baptist was the last prophet of
the old dispensation--the last prophet under the law. You remember
that before Christ made His appearance at the Jordan, the cry of
John, day by day was, "Repent: for the kingdom of God is at hand!"
He thundered out the law. He took his hearers down to the Jordan an
