 ^ « I HAVE MT TICKET." 
 
 ; 
 
 I WAS passing Worcester Station, the 
 other day, when a young man entered 
 my carriage. As he sat down I took 
 out my ticket, and showed it to him, say- 
 ing, '^ Young man, I have my ticket/' 
 ^^ Yes, sir,'' he replied, ^' I see you have 
 if I said further, *^I do not hope to 
 have it some time. I have not now to 
 ask for one, or wish I had a ticket; I 
 have it— that is a certainty. Just so; 
 also, I have salvation. I do not hoi)e 
 I may be saved ; I have not to ask now 
 to be saved — ^I have salvation. Through 
 God's unspeakable mercy I am saved." 
 The young man looked with astonish- 
 ment, and said, " Well, this is verv 
 strange; I could have got to Birmingham 
 for about half the fare by the other line ; 
 but, somehow. I could not book that way. 
 
 ^^ 
 

 
 hi 
 
 Something said I must come by this 
 train, and I felt I must get into this 
 eaiTiage. Now, I'll tell you: there k 
 a man works in the same shop with me, 
 and he says the same thing you say. 
 Ho says he has eternal life; and, mind 
 you, he not only says so, but everything 
 he does shows he has. Bless you ! he 
 has no fear of death at all ; and when 
 he has any trouble, this having eternal 
 life makes him so quiet and happy that 
 I cannot help feeling that he has got 
 something that I have not, do you see ? 
 And no matter how we chaif him at the 
 shop, we cannot touch him, for he has 
 eternal life. He tells us he has found 
 eternal life bv reading; and believing the 
 Bible. For myself, I must tell you, I 
 used to read Tom Paine and Voltaire ; 
 but, somehow, when I got reading at 
 niixht I said, ' Tom Paine, thou canst not 
 nve mo eternal life;' and I felt so miser- 
 
 h 
 
 able J banged the book on the floor," 
 
 r 
 
 ^

 As he said these words, he suited the 
 words by action, with gi'eat earnestnesh, 
 and then, j^utting his hand in his bide 
 pocket, he brought out a beautiful edi- 
 tion of a pocket Bible, and said, *' I have 
 now irot the book that makes known 
 eternal life, but I cannot say that I have 
 eternal life. 1 want to feel that I have 
 it." I said to him, '^When the ck>rk 
 laid your ticket on the window board, 
 this mornin«:, did you say I must tirst 
 FEET, that T have it before I take it, or 
 did you first take it, and then feel that 
 you had it?" ^' Oh," he said, -^^I see 
 how simj^le it is. I must first receive 
 salvation, and then I sliall feel that I 
 have it." 
 
 1 dare say many a reader of this 
 papej' has the very same difficulty that 
 this person had. Instead of believing 
 the Word of God, in His glad tidings of 
 pardon and life througli Jesus Christ, you 
 look and look within, wishful to find 
 
some unknown amount of feelings, in 
 which you may rest, or, at least, on which 
 you may base a hope of being saved. 
 Thus you stand at the window, waiting 
 for feeling, and all the w^hile refusing 
 the grace of Grod, Now, what do you 
 want to feel ? " Why,'^ perhaps you say 
 '' I must feel very sorrj^ for my sins, and 
 I must feel that I have forsaken them, 
 and I must feel that now^ I love God. I 
 have often tried to feel all this; but I 
 have always failed. And yet I must 
 feel all this before I can be saved—must 
 I not ?" No, my friend, if these feel- 
 ings were God^s conditions of salvation, 
 not one soul would be saved. Now, let 
 us look in the New Testament, and see, 
 I cannot fiud one place Avhere it says. 
 If you feel sony for your sins you shali! 
 be saved. The answer to the jailer's 
 question, ^' What must I do to be saved ?" 
 w^as not, ^^Ee or feel sorry for thy siias, 
 and thou shalt bo ' aved/^ Nothing of 
 
 
il 
 
 the kind. They pointed him to a very dif- 
 ferent object than himself or hiw feelings 
 -~even to Jesus. They said, '' Believe on 
 the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be 
 saved »^' And that same hour ^^ He rejoic- 
 ed, believing in God with all his house. ^^ 
 (Acts xvi). On another occasion, (Acts 
 viii.), as Philip preached Jesus to the 
 Eunuch, and set forth the great sacri- 
 fice for sins, the Eunuch said, '' See, here 
 is Avater; what doth hinder me to be 
 baptized?" Did he reply, ^^f thou feeU 
 est sufficiently sorry for thy sins ?'^ Was 
 this the condition? Were his feelings 
 needed to add to the atoning value of 
 the blood of Jesus? Oh, no. Kothing 
 but faith was needed to connect him 
 with Jesus, or to warrant his showing 
 forth that connection in death and resur- 
 rection, by baptism* ^' If thou believest 
 with all thy heart, thou mayest ; and he 
 answered and said, I believe that Jesus 
 Christ is the Son of God/' He was at 
 
6 
 once baptized, and he wcnL on liis way 
 
 REJOICING.'^ 
 
 The apostle Paul does not say, ^' The 
 gospel which I preach unto you, ^by 
 which also ye ai*e saved/ was that you 
 should feel this or that.'' No, he says, 
 " How that Christ died for our sins ac- 
 cording to the Scriptures, and that he 
 was buried, and that he i^ose again the 
 third day, according to the Scriptures,'' 
 (1 Cor. XV. 1-4). 
 
 Now, my reader, if there were no 
 barriers then to exclude the sinner fi'oni 
 Christ, why should you put your feelings 
 now as a perpetual hindrance to your 
 receiving Christ as your entire Saviour? 
 Then Jesus and the resurrection was 
 preached — never human feeling — never 
 amendment, resolutions, or sorrow for 
 sin, as conditions of God's free gift— 
 
 ETERNAL LIFE. 
 
 The gospel tinds man blind as to God's 
 character of love, and morally dead in 
 sin. It reveals God in the blessed Jesus. 
 God is love. The cross — ah ! there the 
 sinner sees the goodness of God. The 
 infinite love of God — what a sight ! This, 
 and this alone, leads to repentance, or, 
 
as the word in Greek always means, a 
 change of mind. When Jesus, saving 
 from the curse of sin by the death of 
 the cross, is revealed to the soiil, there 
 is then that change of mind toward God 
 — that knowing God which is eternal 
 life. Then there is faith in the Lord Jesus 
 Christ, and then there is repentance to- 
 wards God. It is only as I gaze on the cross 
 of Jesus that I can either learn or feel what 
 sin is. Blessed Jesus ! Thy precious blood 
 both cleanseth me from the guilt, and 
 delivers me from the power of sin ! If I 
 look back at my feelings or my doings, 
 all is failure and sin ; and hence, if these 
 have ought to do with my salvation, all 
 is darkness and uncertainty. But look- 
 ing at the cross of Jesus, mv Lord, I 
 find no failure. '' It is finished.'^ AVith 
 all my coldness and unworthiness, and 
 sin, I do believe, and hence I can say, 
 I am saved. '' Ihe blood of Jesus Christ, 
 His Son, cleanseth us from all sin." My 
 reader, if you have been brought to give 
 up all dependence on self, your feelings, 
 your sorrows, or your tears, then hear 
 the words of Jesus. He says, '^ Verily, 
 verilv, T sav unto you. He that hep.reth 
 
^

 my word, and Lelievolh on Ilim that 
 sent me, IIATll cverlastin<jj life, aiid 
 SHALL NOT coire into condemnation; 
 but is ])assed from douth unto life." 
 Again, lie says, " My sheep hear my 
 voice, and I know them, and they follow 
 me; and I give unto them eternal life;' 
 and they shall never perish, neither 
 shall any ])luck them out of my hand/' 
 (John V. 24, X. 28.) 
 
 Think of those words — ^^ eternal life," 
 ^' hath everlasting life/' " shall never 
 pciish," ^'neither shall any pluck them 
 out of my hand." 
 
 Is this youi* present and eternal por- 
 tion ? Then can }'ou say, " Worthy is 
 the Lamb;" and " 1 have eternal life." 
 Do not rest satisfied with a mere hope 
 of being saved. It will not do to tell 
 the collector you hoj)e you have a ticket. 
 
 The believer has i*edemption through 
 the blood of Christ, and his hope is the 
 coming of the Lord.

 THE MASTERV OF METALS

 nickel and other metals with astonishing gains in its best 
 properties of toughness and strength. Hence the unending 
 competition between shot and armour-plate, the one no 
 sooner advancing to a new power of penetration than the 
 other rises to a new resistance. Shot is now made capable 
 of piercing 37 inches of wrought-iron, the point of the shot 
 remaining intact, although the striking velocity is nearly 
 2800 feet a second. Certain nickel-steels studied by 
 Guillaume seem to contravene all the rules one is accus- 
 tomed to associate with metals or alloys : some of them do 
 not expand with heat ; others contract with heat and expand 
 with cold. The magnetic susceptibility of both iron and 
 steel disappears on the addition of either manganese or 
 palladium — a fact of high importance to men as far apart 
 as the ship-builder and the watchmaker. When the dream 
 of the aeronaut is fulfilled and he reigns in the sky at last, 
 it will be largely through steel, or one of its compounds, 
 providing him with a structure which unites the utmost 
 tensile strength with the least possible weight. 
 
 On its commercial side the expansion of the iron industry 
 is one of the wonders of our era. A furnace at Pittsburg 
 swallows 250 tons of ironstone at a single charge. From 
 Lake Superior ports were shipped, in 1899, cargoes of iron 
 ore amounting in the aggregate to 17,901,358 tons. 
 The United States now leads the world in its production 
 •of iron and .steel. In Alabama, rich veins of iron ore and 
 of coal for its reduction lie so close together that three 
 pounds of pig-iron were, in 1897, sold for one cent. 
 
 " Startling as the statement may seem," says Sir William 
 Roberts- Austen, " the destinies of England throughout the 
 nineteenth century, and especially during the latter half of 
 it, have been mainly influenced by the use of steel. Her 
 steel rails seldom contain more than one-half per cent, of car- 
 bon. Her ship-plates, on which her strength as a maritime 
 power depends, contain less than half that amount. . . .
