Christ All-Sufficient.

A CONVERTED Romanist thus related his experience at the Bowery meeting, New York: "I was brought up a strict Catholic, and found it easy work to pray to the Virgin Mary and the saints in my times of trouble. Every thing seemed to be going smoothly, until one day, I heard two men, entire strangers to me, talking about the death of an aquaintance. Their remarks led me to think very seriously about the eternal world, and to ask myself the question, 'Where am I to spend eternity?' The question became an all-absorbing one, and I could not get rid of it. In God's great mercy the light of his truth dawned upon me, and I saw the one only way of peace through simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Then I saw the uselessness of the superstitious mummeries of the Romish Church, that I had thought so much of before, and united with a church where Christ is preached as an all-sufficient Saviour, who can so fully meet all our need that no appeal has to be made to any other for help."
