The Knowledge of Christ Fills the Heart
with Missionary Zeal.

Luther says: “When the Christian begins to
know Christ, by whom he is redeemed from death
and brought into His kingdom and inheritance, his
heart is so filled with God that he would gladly
help every one to this knowledge. For he has no
greater joy than the joy over his treasure, ‘the
knowledge of Christ.”

——————— SS

The Queen’s Title to Heaven.

In a quiet cottage, not far distant from Windsor
Castle, there lived in the time of the late Queen
Victoria an aged Christian woman who had nearly
seen her hundredth year. During the greater part
of her Jong pilgrimage she had known the Lord

* Jesus as her own personal Savior and sought to

live for Him, declaring, “For me to live is Christ,
and to die is gain. I live by the faith of the Son
of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
(Phil. 1, 21; Gal. 2, 20.)

The queen having heard of this aged pilgrim,
she decided to visit her. Great, indeed, was the joy
of the old woman as she looked on the face of her
earthly sovereign. She exclaimed, “What a joy and

what an honor to me that‘my queen should come

to see me!”

Then she added joyfully, “But I expect a greater
joy, a greater honor still, and that before long. J
am “going to see the Ning in His beauty.’” (Is. 33,
17.) Then softly, and with much feeling, the aged
saint inquired, “May I venture to ask if Your
Majesty has such a hope?”

Calmly, Queen Victoria, the Sovereign of Great
Britain and Empress of India, replied to the aged
pilgrim, “Yes, through Jesus Christ, whose blood
cleanseth from all sin, I have such a hope.” Soon
after, the aged one went home to be with the Lord.
