say, “Father !” and instantly the face of God wrll shine upon us and all will be well.— -J. R. Miller. When all things seem against us, To drive us to despair, We know one gate is open, One ear will hear our prayer. —o— April 7— ‘‘He was extolled with my tongue" ( Psa. 66:17). There were some anonymous Christian people who had gone out on a little mis sionary tour ; and, says John, these humble men went out “on behalf of the name”—- to do something to further it, to advan tage it. “He was extolled with my tongue,” says, the psalmist in a rapture of wonder that any words of his could exalt God’s name. So to Christians is committed the charge of magnifying the name of Jesus Christ. . . . We can make men think more highly of our Lord by our example of faithfulness and obedience. We can do it by our definite proclamation of His name, which is Jaid upon us all to do. The inconsistencies of the professing followers of Christ are the strongest bar riers to the world’s belief in the glory of His name. If you are a Christian profes sor, Christ is either glorified or put to shame in you, His saint; and either it is true of you that you do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus and so glorify His name, or that through you the name of Christ is “blasphemed among the na tions.”— Alexander Maclaren. April 8— “Perfect in Christ Jesus" (Col. 1:28). The believer painfully proves that he is imperfect in himself. Imperfection ap pears to be stamped upon all he feels— upon his desires, his joys, and sorrows; and upon all he does—his prayers, his praises, and all his performances. What says the sigh which escapes from his full heart? “Imperfect!” What says the groan which ascends from his troubled bosom? “Imperfect!” What says the tear which glistens in his eye or rolls down his cheek? “Imperfect!” But there is a perfection in Christ. In Him there is a perfect atonement, to reconcile u s ; a perfect righteousness, to justify us; perfect holiness, to sanptify us; perfect wisdom, to direct and instruct us. We become perfect by union with Him, for, as His bride, we have fellowship with Him, in all that He •has, by receiving from H im ; for of His fullness we receive, and grace for grace. By being with Him, we are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as. by the Spirit of the Lord. Our full perfection is decreed, promised, provided fo r; and it will be realized. Christ now represents .us as perfect; He will make us perfect, and then present us in full perfection. Delightful thought! We shall be perfectly holy and perfectly happy. With Him His members on the tree, Fulfilled the law’s demands; ’Tis “I in them, and they in me,” For thus the union stands. — Selected. —o— April 9— “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business" (Lk. 2:49)? As the divine and eternal Son of His .— O. Allen.
