a man is not willing to turn from sin he will not know God's will,
nor will God reveal His secrets to him. But if a man is willing to
turn from sin he will be surprised to see how the light will come in!

I remember one night when the Bible was the driest and darkest book
in the universe to me. The next day it became entirely different. I
thought I had the key to it. I had been born of the Spirit. But
before I knew anything of the mind of God I had to give up my sin. I
believe God meets every soul on the spot of self-surrender; and when
they are willing to let Him guide and lead. The trouble with many
sceptics is their self-conceit. They know more than the Almighty! and
they do not come in a teachable spirit. But the moment a man comes in
a receptive spirit he is blessed; for "If any of you lack wisdom, let
him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not;
and it shall be given him" (James i. 5).

CHAPTER V.

_A DIVINE SAVIOUR_.

"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

(Matthew xvi. 1; John vi. 69.)

We meet with a certain class of Enquirers who do not believe in the
Divinity of Christ. There are many passages that will give light on
this subject.

earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."

In 1 John v. 20: "We know that the Son of God is come, and hath given

and eternal life."

Again in John xvii. 3: "And this is life eternal, that they might
know Thee, the only true God; and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent."

And then, in Mark xiv. 60: "The high priest stood up in the midst,
and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest Thou nothing? What is it which
these witness against thee? But He held His peace, and answered
nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou
the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye
shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and
coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his
clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? Ye have heard
the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned Him to be guilty
of death."

Now what brought me to believe in the Divinity of Christ was this: I
did not know where to place Christ, or what to do with Him, if He
were n
