"Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy, I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit." "Oh Jesu, Thou art standing Outside the fast closed door; In lowly patience waiting To pass the threshold o'er. "Oh Jesu, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low, 'I died for you, My children, And will ye treat Me so?' "Oh Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door: Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore." CHAT V ——— How to Tackle Giants "Without Me ye can do nothing." (John 15.5) CHAT V How to Tackle Giants "Without Me ye can do nothing." (John 15.5) THERE is nothing we dislike more when we are very small than to be helped. How often you hear a little boy say: "I can do it, Mother; let me do it myself." It may be cutting up his food with a knife and fork; it may be washing his face and hands, or any other simple thing. When he gets older he thinks, he can do bigger things on his own, without anyone's help at all. And very often experience teaches him that he is not so clever as he thinks himself to be. Now all Christian boys and girls have a great many difficulties and temptations in their lives. They make many resolves to be good, they want to be good. They mean to start the day well, but somehow before they know it, their tempers have got the better of them, and the day is clouded by tears and passion. One of the reasons that the Lord Jesus came down from Heaven and lived amongst people on the earth, was to show them how He wanted to help them on their way to Heaven. He told His disciples just before He went back to Heaven: "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." And He also said this to them: "Without Me, ye can do nothing." Have you ever watched trains coming and going in a railway station? Sometimes there is a long line of carriages, but no engine. Can those carriages move along the rails by themselves? No; they may be perfectly ready for passengers; the lights in them may be bright, the passengers may get in and take their places, but without the engine, they can do nothing. The engine comes along, there may be only one link joined to it, and the whole train, carrying hundreds of passengers with their luggage, will move along the line without any effort. Swiftly, easily it glides along. [Illustration: CHAT III. "Taken to the Police Station."] [Illustration: Pictures to Paint—5. WHAT BIBLE SCENE IS THIS?] Now take the engine. Can it move itself? Not without the steam power within. If there is no steam, there is no movement. The wheels of the engine cannot move themselves. Without the steam, the engine can do nothing.
