emotion. I saw then, though dimly, that I
was nearing the goal for which I had been aiming all my life.

Early the next morning, soon after daybreak, I went over on my knees
carefully and prayerfully all the passages on the Victorious Life that
were given in a little yellow leaflet that the speaker had
distributed.[1] What a comfort and strength it was to see how clear
God's Word was that victory, not defeat, was his will for his children,
and to see what wonderful provision he had made! Later, during the days
that followed, clearer light came. I did what I was asked to do--I
quietly but definitely accepted Christ as my Saviour from the _power_ of
sin as I had so long before accepted him as my Saviour from the
_penalty_ of sin. And on this I rested.

I left Niagara, realizing, however, there was still something I had not
got. I felt much as the blind man must have felt when he said, "I see
men as trees, walking" (A. V.). I had begun to see light, but dimly.

The day after reaching home I picked up a little booklet, "The Life That
Wins,"[2] which I had not read before, and going to my son's bedside I
told him it was the personal testimony of one whom God had used to bring
great blessing into my life. I then read it aloud till I came to the
words, "At last I realized that Jesus Christ was actually and literally
within me." I stopped amazed. The sun seemed suddenly to come from under
a cloud and flood my whole soul with light. How blind I'd been! I saw at
last the secret of victory--it was simply Jesus Christ himself--his own
life lived out in the believer. But the thought of victory was for the
moment lost sight of in the inexpressible joy of realizing CHRIST'S
INDWELLING PRESENCE! Like a tired, worn-out wanderer finding home at
last I just _rested_ in him. Rested in his love--in himself. And, oh,
the peace and joy that came flooding my life! A restfulness and
quietness of spirit I never thought could be mine took possession of me
so naturally. Literally a new life began for me, or rather _in_ me. It
was just "the Life that is Christ."

The first step I took in this new life was to get standing on God's own
Word, and not merely on man's teaching or even on a personal experience.
And as I studied especially the truth of Christ's indwelling, victory
over sin, and God's bountiful provision, the Word was fairly illumined
with new light.

The years that have passed have been years of blessed fellowship with
Christ and of
