Greetings to all of you. Moments of melody coming your way to cheer you on your way. The man came rushing into the railroad station, and while scarcely able to gasp for breath, he took his seat in one of the coaches just on the point of starting. You've had a good run, said a fellow passenger. Yes, he replied, breathing heavily every two or three words, but I saved Four hours, and that was well worth running for. Saved four hours. I couldn't help repeating it to myself. Four hours worth that earnest struggle. What about eternity? What of eternity? Yet, are there not thousands of shrewd, far-seeing men today who look sharply enough after their own interest in this life, but seem to be stone-blind to the eternity before them? My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine. For thee are the flowers of sin I revive. My gracious redeemer, My Saviour our God, if ever I love thee, tis now. I love thee because thou hadst searched over me, and said, on Calvary's tree. I love thee for wearing the thorns on my brow. If ever I We open our Bibles to Mark chapter five. So Jesus went back by boat across the sea, and a great multitude gathered about him. While he was still by the sea, one of the rulers of the synagogue came by, Jairus by name, and fell down at his feet when he saw him pleading for his aid. My daughter, he said, is at the point of death. Come and lay thy hand on her. that she may recover and live." Then you remember he healed the woman on the way of the story we had yesterday. While he was yet speaking, messengers came from the ruler's house to say, "'Thy daughter is dead. Why dost thou trouble the master any longer?' Jesus heard the word said and told the ruler of the synagogue, "'No need to fear. Thou hast only to believe.' And now he would not let anyone follow him except Peter, James, and John. And so they came to the ruler's house, where they found a great stir and much weeping and lamentation. He went in and said to them, What is the stir and this weeping? The child is not dead, she's asleep. They laughed aloud at him, but he sent them out. Taking the child's mother and father and his own companions with him, he went in to where the child lay. Then he took hold on the child's hand and said to her, Talitha Kumi, which means Maiden, I say to thee, rise up. And the girl stood up immediately and began to walk. She was twelve years old. They were beside themselves with wonder. Then he laid a strict charge on them to let nobody hear of this in order that she should be given something to eat. By what joy the Lord Jesus brought into that home. that day. He brings joy into the life, into the home, wherever he's invited.
