JULY S Overcoming “ This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4). The world hates the true believer in Christ. This is an undoubted fact. But on the other hand, the world offers the believer an unparalleled sphere of witness and a unique opportunity for victory and triumph through Jesus Christ. That victory is assured by the application o f a victorious principle. In every walk of life there are certain principles that make for success and victory. Many Christians fail because they do not understand the victorious principle of Chris tian living. What is that principle? It is our faith. What is faith? Let us study the root meaning of the word in order to gauge something of its wealth of content. In Acts 5:40, the root is translated “ agreed," so the first element in the victorious principle that overcomes the world is agreement with God. . . . The victorious principle is absolute one ness with the purpose of God. That is vic torious faith.—W . M allis .* “ / know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which 1 have committed unto him against that day” (2 Tim . 1:12). A child that hath any precious thing given him cannot better secure it than by putting it into his father’s hands to keep: so neither can we better provide for our souls’ safety than by committing them to God.—J ohn T rapp . They so nestled themselves in Him, as a child would in a nurse’s arms, that He was round them, and all the difficult cir cumstances were round Him. —W illiam T yndall , the M artyr . What a vast portion of our lives is spent in anxious and useless forebodings con cerning the future, either our own or that of our dear ones! Present joys, present blessings, slip by, and we miss half their sweet flavor, and all for want of faith in Him who provides for the tiniest insect in the sunbeam. Oh, when shall we learn the sweet trust in God our little children teach us every day by their confiding faith in us? W e who are so mutable, so faulty, so irritable, so unjust: and He who is so watchful, so pitiful, so loving, so forgiving! Why cannot we, slipping our hand into His each day, walk trustingly over that day’s appointed path, knowing that evening will bring us sleep, peace, and home? —P hillips B rooks .

his sufferings, being made comformable unto his death” (Phil. 3:10). “ Have I been so long time with thee, And yet hast thou not known M e?” “ O my Master, I have known Thee On the roads of Galilee.” “Have I been so long time with thee On the roads of Galilee, Yet, M y child, has thou not known Me Walking on the tossing sea?” “ O my Master, I have known Thee On the roads and on the sea.” “Wherefore then hast thou not known Me Broken in Gethsemane? “ I would have thee follow, know Me Thorn-crowned, nailed upon the tree. Canst thou follow, wilt thou know Me, All the way to Calvary?”
