This mis<ion was (he ronversion of a wo- man. His whole life wuas absorhed in this great woirk as ""He came to seek and to save that which was lost.’”” He had many a bitter struggle in acecom- plishirg this end, but, however, suceeed- ed because He knew ail mien and knew just how to hardle each subject that He came in contact with, In our story to- day we have an exhnibition of His skitl. He approached the woman by asking for a drink of water. [his qu:ckly aroused the prejudice which existed be- tween the Jews and the Gentiles. J-sus paid little attention t> this however and immediatelv began to reveal Himself to her by introducing the Water of Lire. She, at first, misunderstood Him and was trying to unpress Him with her reli- gion. When He drew this compar.son between the patural water anc the Water of Li‘e she exclaimed "‘Sir, give me tbis water, that | thirsr n t, neither come hither to draw.”” Favn- nale His way into her besr: he unmasie . ner of her religion and disclo ed her tru» state be- for Ler eyes.

St. Croix but I do wich there was the same dili- gence exercised for the Water of Life. Q: course, cenditions #le the ane today ws they were in the days vien Jesus walked amorg men.

But Jesus will s:trip itoff a d disclose cur true stateif we will iet [{im and if we donot let Him now He will do it sometime and perhaps when it 1s oo late.
