is like that between a loving married couple who have a common purse, and absolute identity of interest and posses sion. Conducting his bride over their new home, the loving husband may say, as he points to this article of furniture and that, to one household treasure after another, to all the knick-knacks and rari ties, “ They are ‘for me and thee.” ’ So we may conceive Christ saying to His disciple as He leads him into the divine storehouse, where all His precious things are kept, “I am married unto thee; all Mine is thine.” The life He lived, O Christian, was not lived for Himself alone, but for Him and thee. The death He died was for Him and thee, and all the blessed consequences that accrue therefrom are the common property of Himself and thee. His very throne He will share with thee. Oh, come into this blessed partnership, and s h a r e this brother-clasp of “me and thee.” — Selected. —o— March 8 —“And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him” (Genesis 32:1). And there are angels o f God waiting for me today, or holding themselves in readiness to meet me, in order to smooth the way, and overcome difficulties, and accompany me, and bring to pass things that I could never do of myself. Jacob was nearing a great crisis of his life : the meeting again of his brother Esau. We are not told what the angels did for Jacob; it is not necessary; they met him, that is enough. God never asks us to enter upon any difficulty alone. His own Son Christ dwells within us; and His appointed messengers, His angels, meet and accompany us to work with us. Surely there is nothing for me to fear to day !—Messages for the Morning Watch. I dare not be afraid since round my feet Are bound the glorious promises of God; I clasp them to my heart, prepared to meet Whate’er may come, whether at home, abroad, Or what the future holds of joy or care, My God has promised I shall find HIM there. —o— March 9 —“ That God would fulfil in you all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work o f faith with power” (2 Thess. 1:11). All the experiences o f life come to us as tests, and as we meet them, our lov ing Father is watching with intense and jealous love, to see us overcome. But, if we fail, He is deeply disappointed, and our adversary is filled with joy. We are a gazing-stock continually for angels, and principalities, and every step we take is critical and decisive for something in our eternal future. When Abraham _went forth that morning to Mount Moriah, it was an hour o f solemn probation. When he came back he was one of God’s tested men, with the stamp of His eternal appro bation. God could say, “I know him, that he will do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken.” God is looking for such men today. Lord, help me to be such an one.—A. B. Simpson. A hero is not fed on sweets, Daily his own heart he eats. Chambers o f the great are jails, And head-winds right for royal sails.
