and affectionate looking on them. Behold ing the glory of thy Lord, be transformed into it. . . Dead with Him, and again alive with Him! Oh, happiness and dignity un speakable!— L eighton . JANUARY 11 Transforming Grace " And I thank Christ Jesu s ou r Lord, w ho hath en a bled me, fo r that h e co u n ted m e faithful . . . w ho w as b efo re a blasphem er, and a p ersecu tor" (1 Tim. 1:12, 13). God’s grace can take the most unlovely and unlikely material and transform it won- drously. So we pray that in our chaotic, intractable lives that grace may have full scope. Remember it is not a quality infused, but a Person indwelling, and there is there fore no limit to His manifested power but that imposed by our own spiritual inertia. Does it seem hard of achievement? Look again at the assurance of God’s Word: “God is able to make all grace abound to ward yo u . . . all sufficiency in every thing.” —A lison W eeks . JANUARY 12 At Jesus’ Feet "M ary . . . fell d ow n at his feet, sa yin g unto him, Lord, . . . ” (John 11:32). Death may have desolated our home. In stead of going to the grave to weep, let us go with Mary to lay our burden of pain down at Jesus' feet. Our worldly affairs have fallen into confusion; our prosperity has melted "with the snows of yester year.” . . . The condition of our unsaved friends distresses us. Let us do as the father of the tortured child at the foot of the mountain of transfiguration did: he brought him to Jesus.— L ife o f Faith. JANUARY 13 Mountain Vision "Go forth, and stand upon th e m ount be fo r e th e Lord” (1 Ki. 19:11). No soul can be healthy without its hill- country, its sacred heights whence come new mornings. . . And the soul must climb its hills even when its circumstances are like a low, monotonous plain. It must climb the mount of the revealed purpose of God. It must take a turn up the slopes of some out standing promise. . . Look up and get up where good tidings are bom, and where thou canst see the land that is very far off! ■ n H. JOWETT. JANUARY 14 God’s Way "He led them forth b y th e right w ay" (Psa. 107:7). I am leading My child to the heavenly land, I am guiding him day by day, And I ask him now as I hold his hand To come home by a rugged way. It is not a way he himself would choose, For its beauty he cannot see, But he knows not what his soul would lose If he trod not the path with Me. — S elected . JANUARY 15 Jesus Only "And w h en th ey had lifted up their ey es, th ey sa w no man, s a v e Jesu s o n ly ” (M att 17:8). .
“To a place of great eminence in the field of youth education” In a radio address on Christian Education, Dr. Stewart M. Robinson, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth, N. J., and editor of The P resbyterian, paid the following tribute to Stony Brook School:
come strong in scholarship, in athletics, in student leadership, as their gifts direct. But they have, as a rule, a strong and vital Chris tian faith which has been a part of their daily training and inter ested study throughout their prep school days. “It is not that Stony Brook School has any secret formula or follows any mysterious program of culture. It is a very simple application of well-known facts. The School was founded on the Bible and makes the Divine Sa- viourhood of Jesus Christ para mount/’
“Education being chiefly the child of Christian faith, can be geared to sound doctrine and not lose, but rather gain, its educa tional quality. “One notable instance is that of the Stony Brook School for boys on Long Island. Although not old in years, but of a respect able age, it has rapidly come to a place of great eminence in the field of youth education. It is a secondary school. Its graduates go to all the great universities. They enter all the recognized fields of useful human endeavor. They be
New students accepted after Christmas .

"T h ese a re th ey w hich cam e ou t of grea t tribulation, and h a v e w ash ed their robes, and m ade them w hite in th e b lood o f the Lamb’’ (Rev. 7:14). Heaven is a place of purity. The inhab itants are “clothed with white robes.” . . . "Tribulation” is suggestive: it comes from a word which means a flail, and with the flail, you know, the chaff is separated from the wheat. The blood washes white, and never white-washes. It is genuine purity, and day by day, year by year, the process of removing the chaff from the wheat and the dross from the gold continues. —A . C. D ixon . Refining Fire, go through my heart, Illuminate my soul; Scatter Thy life through every part, And sanctify the whole. — S . S tanley . JANUARY 9 Living Stones "And Joshua set up tw e lv e sto n es in the m idst of Jordan" (Josh. 4:9). “I have been crucified with Christ.” Those twelve stones piled in the bed of Jordan where the feet of the priests once firmly stood, “until every thing was fin ished,” bear witness to this identification in death; the twelve stones gathered out of the flood and heaped together at Gilgal, speak of our resurrection with Him. That heap was a potential house of God, and it is the Spirit’s blessed work to build each stone into its place, on the “Living Stone.” ■ - W illiam H oste .

For the mortifying of sin and strength ening of thy graces, look daily on Christ’s death and resurrection.
