when we set them before our face, in true repentance, as David did when his sin,-’ was ever before him, God casts them behind: His back. —Matthew Henry. 19. Bight Contacts “As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me” . (John 15:4). Separation without- contact With tne power will only mean a self-centered life. Contact with the need without the power to meet it will only produce a self-effort, which ends in failure. Con tact with Christ constantly and con tinuously through the Holy Spirit is the secret of a true Christian expe rience and effective service . . . Our ex perience of Christ’s love and power must be fresh, This freshness can be maintained only through secret prayer, close fellowship, and Bible study. —W. Mallis. 20. The Preciousness of Christ “Unto you, therefore, which believe, he is the preciousness” (1 Pet. 2:7, lit. trans.). Just as the life of Christ becomes ours when we believe in Him, so does His preciousness. The principle in both is the same. The life may be viewed as our capacity to enjoy; and the precious ness as our title to possess our in heritance on high. His honors, titles, dignities, privileges, possessions, glo ries are ours—all ours in Him. —Andrew Millar. 21. A Purchased Possession “What! know ye not that . . . ye are not your own; Ye are bought with a price” (1 Cor. 6:19, 20). We are members! of the family ot God, sons of God, heirs of God, and partakers of the divine nature; we are members of the royal family of heaven, living on this earth as sons of God. Therefore God expects His blood-bought, redeemed ones to live according to their new status, both toward Himself as Father, and toward the world around them. God expects every one of us to adjust ourselves to our new conditions. —E. L. Langston. When Day Breaks “The night is far spent, the day is at hand” (Rom. 13:12). Unanswered still, the destined hour- none knowing, When day shall break, and all the shad ows fle e :' But through all lands the great appeal is glowing, With ever widening, glad expectancy; And hearts that watch ‘ and wait for Him are hearing, Beyond the chimes of earth that change so fast, 22.
The golden bells that herald His ap pearing, When prayer to silence dies — an swered at last.—Edwin Botham.

23. Vision of the Goal “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:14). There was always something shining through the gloom and confusion of the Apostle’s life. The goal inspired every step he took. He drew reserves from the distance and they gave buoy ancy to his feet. He practiced walking
