satisfied to abide in the flesh for the welfare of the saints. Let this same spiril possess us. Though the ties that bind us here loosen their pull . . . yet we are willing to stay . . . if we may add glory to HIS name. —R. E. Neighbour, 27. Love That Is Perfect “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten” (Rev. 3:19). Imperfect love will not unmixedly consider its object, but itself—it will be set upon enjoying its object rather than serving it, and this will give it a more considerate and tender bearing at times, and get for itself great credit, while perfect love has all the while forgotten itself and its enjoyments, and ordered its course and its actings in more undistracted concern and desire to have others blest and profited. —J. G. Bellett. 28. The Three Prayers “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do” (Phil. 2:13). “Lord, help me,” so we pray, “Help me my work to do; I am so ignorant and weak; Make me more wise and true.” “Lord, help me to do Thy work,” jj We pray when wiser grown, When on the upward way Our feet have farther gone. “ Lord, do Thy work through me,” So when sill self we lose— His doing and His work, and we The tools His hand can use. —Annie Johnson Flint. 29. The Upward Look “Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else” (Isa. 45:22). In all thy trials and afflictions, look unto Christ, and find deliverance. In all thine agony, in all thy repentance for thy guilt, look unto Christ, and find pardon. Remember to put thine eyes heavenward, and thine heart heav enward too. Bind round thyself a gold en chain, and put one link of it in the staple in heaven. . . . . There is no stumbling when a man walks with his (eyes up to Jesus. —Charles Haddon Spurgeon. - 30. The Glory of Grace “That we should be unto the praise iof his glory” , (Eph. 1:12). There is no other praise worth living for, Our eyes have seen Him; we have beheld Him; and it is to the praise of His glory that we live. Then Paul talks (Eph. 1:18) of the riches of the glory of His inheritance. That inherit ance is His inheritance in us. That is why in Colossians 1:27 he says: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” —W. Wilson Cash.
in the golden streets while his feet were still on thé flinty roads. We shall in crease our common sense by enlarging our spiritual sense, and our immediate duties will become clear in the light of the ultimate vision.—rJ. H. Jowett. 24. The Worthy Lamb “Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood” (Rev. ï:5 ). In . the Book of Revelation, when through the opened door we are per mitted to look upon the worship of the heavenly world, we see / how that wor ship centers in the mystery of divine sacrifice. Heaven’s adoration is the adoration Of the Lamb. Before Him the whole company of heaven fall down and worship, saying in concert, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.” This is the deepest note in heaven’s adoration —and in earth’s also. —Francis B. James. 25. The Only Lights “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid” (Matt. 5:14). In the absence of the Sun of Right eousness ye are the only lights that the world can see. Do you realize that your voice, or rather the Holy Ghost speaking through you, is the only voice for Christ that the world can hear— while He is gone to prepare a place for us and to make intercession for us? We are the saints of the living God, we are the light of the world. ✓ ~ - —C. R. Hurditch. 28- Willing "Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you” (Phil. 1:24). Paul had no fear as he neared his journey’s end. The burden of earth had grown heavy; the lights “across the bar” glowed with glory. Yet as much as he desired to see his Lord, he was
