WEIGHED IN the: BALANCE? AND FOUND WANTING o«s27

Cisco, and while there saw money made from bars of gold. First the metal was put into a crucible, or place where it was melted for the dross to be taken out, after which it was molded into bars. These were then run through rollers to make them the proper thickness, after which they were taken to another place, where a man sat with a machine, who cut a piece out of a bar the size of a twenty-dollar gold piece. This piece cut out was placed in the balances by another man. If it was of proper weight, immediately the man cut out fifteen hundred dollars from the bar, which he ran through his machine. But as one bar after another was placed into the machine, and the first piece weighed, I noticed that now and then a piece was placed in the balances and found wanting; perhaps only a very slight lack, but it was immediately thrown aside, and with it the whole bar. These had to go back to the crucible and go through the fire, and if it was because of dross the dross had to be taken out; or, if it was pure gold and still lacked, it had to go through the fire and have the lack supplied; because nothing short of the full weight could receive the stamp of the government, which made it pass for full value. Every piece that was put in the balance and found wanting had to be taken back to the crucible. This left a wonderful impression upon my mind. Two scenes or comparisons of the Christian life were drawn from it. First, all the children of God, although they may be real children of

God, yet when it comes to making the consecration to get the seal of the Spirit, if there is any lack, they can not go any further until the lack is supplied; or if there is any dross, they will have to go through the fire or crucible of God's renovating power before he will put his seal upon them. The other scene was that of those who expect to go on in life withou-t doing the will of God, and when the great judgment day comes they will be weighed in the balance and found wanting; and their life and wealth of this world will be lighter than vanity, when weighed in the balances of truth and justice. The great secret then of the whole matter of why prayer is not answered, is that of not meeting the conditions of the word of God In order to have the work done.

KEEPING IN LINE WITH GOD.

To be a true soldier in this heavenly warfare it is necessary to keep in line with the Commander and follow whithersoever he leadeth; otherwise the company of followers, or soldiers, will be brought into confusion, then when the enemy is to be met they are not ready for battle, and the victory is hard to win.
