THE Christian life lias ups and downs which oIVcn come as a shock to new believers. Too often they have mistakenly thought that, now they were fully com mitted and knew themselves to be saved by grace, all would be well with their souls.

As we face up to life’s challenging times, such daily guidance often comes to encourage us to develop a settled assurance about our relationship with God. Such tunnels on life’s journey are only temporary
interruptions. Passing through them, we have the blessed assurance of returning eventually into the light that comes as we rest in the Lord. JOE STANSK1ELD
