Christ is the measure and the pledge of Sod’s love, and at the same time it is the ■evelation of His holiness. God is love ind God is light. How great is the splen- ior of the cross; the light of it drives out he darkness from every heart that be- ieves. — J. T . M awson . OCTOBER 24 New Eyes "Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee" (Prov. 4:25). In Dublin a firm of opticians displays outside its store a one-sentence advertise ment which reads as follows: “You can not be optimistic if you have a misty optic." That is good, and it is true also in the realm of spiritual life. Allow the Holy Spirit to clarify that misty optic. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, and wells of joy will rise from the Fountain of Life and liter ally surge through your whole being. Keep your face to the sun, and the shadows will be behind you. That is true optimism. Look at your circumstances through the eyes of faith, as from the “ heavenly places.” . . . Look up, and sing the song of faith.— C aptain R eginald W allis . OCTOBER 25 The Man o f God "But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, god liness, faith, love, patience, meekness” (1 Tim. 6:11). A “ man of God” is never untroubled, never unchallenged, never unopposed. It is well to recognize this as we go down from the mount to the valley. The more unmistakably he is identified with God the more aggravated will be the hostility or the neglect, the aggressive opposition or the passive indifference, the venomous half- truths or the malignant whole lies, under which he will suffer. For the thing his life stands for is the very thing the world will not have— the government of its ways by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.— J. S tuart H olden . OCTOBER 26 Holy Happiness "For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as w e are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). T o gain entire likeness to Christ, I ought to get a high esteem of the happiness of it. I am persuaded that God’s happiness is inseparably linked in with His holiness. Holiness and happiness are like light and heat. God never tasted one of the pleas ures of sin. Christ had a body such as I have, yet He never tasted one of the pleas ures of sin. The redeemed, through all eternity, will never taste one of the pleas ures of sin; yet their happiness is com plete. It would be my greatest happiness to be from this moment entirely like them. Every sin is something away from my greatest enjoyment. . . . I am persuaded that . . . my true happiness is to go and sin no more.— R obert M urray M c C heyne .
