WHERE ARE YOUR EYES?
The following incident,, published in an exchange, so truly illustrates the case of every reader that we are happy to pass it on. Cyrus, King of, Persia, alter a famous. victory, took prisoner a noble prince with his wife and children. When tlicy were brought into the tent of the victor, Cyrus said to the Prince. "What will you give me to set. you at liberty?" The prince replied, "I will give you half of what I possess." "And what will you give me 'if I set your wife at liberty?" asked Cyrus. will gladly give you my life," replied the. prince. Cyrus, touched by such true "nobility, set them both free without recompense. That evening when the prince and his wile were, rejoicing together over their freedom, he said: "Did you not think Cyrus, a very handsome man?" The wife replied, "I did not notice him sufficiently well to tell." "Where were, jour eyes?" exclaimed the prince.
"l had eyes only for the man who said lie would lay down his lii'c for me!" Here is. a picturc of great nobility in all; the characters involved. What makes the story especialh' significant to us is that Jesus Christ has laid down His life for us. Have we any eyes for Him? Are Ave looking daily ?
