Make us now to be what we profess to be; Let prayer be prayer and praise be heart felt praise; From unreality, oh, set us wholly free, And let our words be echoed in our ways. Turn us, good Lord, and so shall we be truly turned. Let every passion grieving Thee be stilled: Then shall our race be won, our promised guerdon earned, Our Master looked on, and our joy ful filled. i > s-H . T w e l l s .

AUGUST 29 “ The truth shall make you free” (John 8 :32). When the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, He purchased your pardon. Yes, but He also purchased your freedom. You are afraid to commit yourself wholly to Him, to abandon yourself to Him. It looks like a plunge. We say it is an abiding faith. But faith has many aspects. There is lay-hold faith. “Lay hold on eternal life.” You say, “Yes, I understand that.” There is hold fast faith. “Well,” you say, “I understand that.” There is hold-forth faith, when you confess Christ. But then there is another thing—there is let-go faith. Now it may be that there is one little thing you are afraid to let go . . . Let yourself go, How simple it is ! Commit the keeping of your soul un to Him. Now, do not confound your re sponsibility with your Lord’s responsibility. These things have to be cleared up. It is not your responsibility to make yourself free. Leave that to the Lord. It is not your responsibility to make peace with God. That belongs to Him. YoUr responsibility is to trust; His responsibility is to keep. — E v a n H . H o p k in s . AUGUST 30 “Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts” (1 Pet. 3:15). Enshrine Christ in your heart as Lord. He is to be the Lord o f all your thoughts. . . . Then He must be the Lord of all your desires, and pleasures, and inclinations. . . . Let Christ be Lord of your volitions and your purposes. There is a center in your being where thought is born, and desires are born, and volitions have their origin. If the Lord is there, they may all be born of God. Is not that a wonderful thought? Christ in you may be the birthplace of all the issues of your life. The secret of purity is the indwelling Holy One, Christ Himself. — E v a n H . H o p k in s . AUGUST 31 “ God hath sent forth the Spirit o f his Son into your hearts" (Gal. 4 :6 ). Awake, O Lord, as in the blessed days o f old I Come, Holy Spirit, in Thy power and might, For lack of Thee our hearts are strangely hard and cold, Our minds but blindly groping towards the light. Doubts are abroad: Make Thou at last these doubts to cease I Fears are within: Set Thou these fears at rest. Strife is among u s: Melt that strife to per fect peace! Change marches onward: May all change be blest.

A good man was very ill, and his friends came to comfort him. They remembered his good deeds, and how he had always cared for the lambs of Christ’s flock. One prayed, “Lord, thou knowest how he loves thee.” “Ah, my friends,” said the sick man, “ do not say that. When Mary and Martha went to Jesus, their message was not, ‘Lord, he who loveth thee is sick,’ but, ‘He whom thou lovest.’ It is not my imperfect love to Him that gives me comfort, but His perfect love to me.” — T h e C h r is t ia n H e ra ld . In suffering be Thy love my peace; In weakness be Thy love my power. And when the storms o f life shall cease, Jesus, in that eventful hour, In death as life be Guide and Friend, That love may have no end. — P a u l G e r h a r d t . AUGUST 28 “ The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Psa. 23:1). The shepherd is in absolute control of the flock, and no member o f the flock that does not recognize the leadership o f the shep herd can be sure o f continual protection and supply. If the child of God is to be able to say at all times, “I shall not want,” he must also say, not only in words but by constant obedience to and close walk with God, “ The Lord is my shepherd.” How precious it is to know, especially in times o f perplexity and distress, that the'Lord not only cares for and loves His own, but accepts the responsibility for the welfare o f His trusting, obedient children 1—A.C.S.
