WHILE Dr. Arnot was pastor at Glasgow, his attention was called to a woman who was in great distress, being unable to pay her rent. So he went to her for the purpose of giving her assistance. He rapped at the door, listened, and believed he heard some one in the house. He rapped again. The third time he rapped very hard, listened, but again heard nothing. After waiting a little while, he made a great noise, and finally went away. A few days afterwards he met the woman on the street and said: “I was at your house the other day; I had heard that you could not pay your rent, and I came to assist you.” “O, was that you?” the woman replied. “I was in the house the whole time, but I thought the proprietor of the house had come to demand the rent, and, as I had not the money, I left the door locked.” This woman is a picture of the sinner. He thinks God comes to demand something of him, while in reality God comes to give and to bless. Sinner, unbolt the door and allow Him to enter. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.” Rev. 3 : 20.—Anon.
