How commonly the world mistakes the Christian's profession of need for a profession of goodness! A Christian woman, recently writing to a friend, well exposes this error: "A few weeks ago our pastor was speaking in the Bible class of some one who went to God even in the smallest trifles. One of the members said, 'I am afraid I am not as good as that!' To me it is not a proof of goodness, but of weakness and want and dependence. But it proves God's goodness that He stoops to listen to such little things." There is the whole argument for Christianity in a nutshell. Because of our utter loss of self-confidence, brought about by many a humiliating failure in even the smallest things, we confess our need of a personal Saviour, not only for eternal life in the future, but for success in the "trifles" of present-day life as well; and we find such a Saviour only in Jesus Christ. Man's confessed need, met only in God's goodness, is the privileged profession of the Christian.—Sunday-School Times.
