MARCH 12 Most Practical
“Looking for that Messed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ (Tit. 2:13). The effect of this blessed hope was very practical. It led me carefully to look through my little library to see if there were any books there that were not neces sary and likely to be further useful, and to look through my small wardrobe to be quite sure that- there was nothing there that I should be sorry to give an account of should the Master come at once. It has been very helpful to me from time to time through life, as opportunity has served to act in a similar way, and I have never been through my house from basement to attic with this object in view without receiving a great accession of spiritual joy and blessing.— J. H udson T aylor . " / am the rose of Sharon" '...'-(Cant. 2:1). Christ is a rose that beautifieth all the upper garden of G od; a leaf of that rose of God for smell is worth a world. —•S amuel R utherford . Oh, the face of Christ is fairer Than the. fairest dreams of men, And His wonder ever widens As we gaze and gaze again; Brightest beauty dies in darkness, Gloom and glory waver dim, At the breathless contemplation Of the loveliness of H im ! —E. M argaret C larkson . God’s mercies never seem so fair, so won derful, as when they are looked at in con junction with man’s sin. Man’s sin never seems so foul and hideous ,as when it is looked at close against God’s mercies. You cannot estimate the conduct of one of two parties to a transaction unless you have the conduct of the other before you. You cannot understand a father’s love unless you take into account the prodigal son’s sullen unthankfulness, or his unthankful ness without remembering his father’s love . . . the lovingkindness of God becomes wonderful when we think o f the sort of people on whom it has been lavished.

MARCH 15 Prayerlessness and Powerlessness “Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live*’ (Psa. 116:2). You can never be of real use to Christ, you will never live the victorious life, if you neglect prayer. Bishop Taylor Smith once said: “ Backsliding begins with slack abiding.” That is quite true. Joshua with all his forces might be fighting Amalek, but the issue did not depend upon him; it de pended upon that one man on the hilltop, Moses, without whose prayer there must have come defeat.
