NONE OTHER NAME.

FOR many years past a blind man has taken his station off the City Road in London, where, in a clear voice, he is in the habit of reading the Scriptures by means of his Bible printed for the blind with raised letters. Groups of old and young gather around him, and pay respectful attention to the sacred words spoken by the sightless reader. There is also another blind reader at the West End of London, and many, both rich and poor, have been led to the study of the Bible as they have listened to his readings from the sacred volume.

As a few persons were collected round one of these blind men, who was reading from an embossed Bible, a gentleman on his way home from the city was led by curiosity to the crowd. Just then the poor man, who was reading in the fourth chapter of the Acts, lost his place, and while trying to find it with his finger, kept repeating the last clause he had read: "None other name-: -none other name. none other name." Some of the people smiled at the blind man's embarrassment, but the gentleman went away deeply musing. He had lately become convinced that he was a sinner, and had been trying, in many ways, to obtain peace of mind. But religious exercises, good resolutions, altered habits, all were ineffectual to relieve his conscience of its load, and enable him to rejoice in God.

The words he had heard from the blind man, however, rang in his soul. "None other name!" When he reached his home and retired to rest these words were still heard, "None other name, none other name, none other name!" And when he awoke the strain continued, "None other name, none other name, none other name!" The music entered his soul, and he awoke to a new life. "I see it all! I see it all! I have been trying to be saved by my own works my repentance, my prayers, my reformation. I see my mistake. It is Jesus who alone can save. To him I will look." "Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is none other name, none other name, none other name under heaven given among men whereby they must be saved."

"BECAUSE I have but one talent, I don't see why I should give it to him who has ten, and I don't mean to do it. The Lord helping me, I shall use it myself." So said a good sister in a prayer-meeting, and there are a good many others who might do the same.
