I ONCE heard an evangelist tell the story of his being invited to tea at the house of a Sunday School teacher.
Whilst there he had occasion to go upstairs, and on the looking glass he spied, worked out in crochet work, the word "Peace." He came down and said to his kind hostess, " I see you have the word Peace' on your looking glass upstairs. May I ask if you have this peace?”
The word went home to her heart and conscience; and for the moment she felt offended that such a question should have been put to her. For was she not a Sunday School teacher? Was she not an assiduous worker in the school? Did she not regularly attend the services? Ah, yes, all true, but—she knew not this "peace." She could not truly answer "Yes" to the question put to her by her kind and solicitous guest.
She was truly aroused, and cried to God that she might know this peace, and she found it by believing on Him who "made peace!" by the blood of His cross. "Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Is this peace yours?
