before God. He witnessed the impresssive rites of the
paschal service. Day by day He saw their meaning
more clearly. Every act seemed to be bound up with His
own life. New impulses were awakening within Him..

of anxious search to find Him. So with us; by idle talk,
evil speaking, or neglect of prayer, ye may in one day

of sorrowful search to fina Him, and regain t e peace hat
we have lost."-D.A., l>P. 82, 83. W

'As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even Sl)
must the Son of man be lifted up; that whosoever' be-
lieveth in Him 'should not perish, but have eternal life.'
The light from that secret interview illumined the cross
upon Calvary, and Nicodemus. saw in Jesus the world's
Redeemer. After the Lord's' ascension, when the disciples
were scattered by persecution, Nicodemus came boldly to
the front. He employed his wealth in sustaining the in-
fant church that the Jews had expected to be blotted out
at the death of Christ. In the time of peril h~ who had
been so cautious and questioning, was firm as a rock, en-
couraging the faith of the disciples, and furnishing means
to carry forward the work of the gospe!. . Ire was scorned
and persecuted by those who had paid him reverence in
other days. He became poor in this world's goods; yet
he faltered not in the faith which had its beginning in that
night conference with Jesul!l."-D.A., pp. 176, 177,
