Spiritual Beauty “Moses wist not that . . . his face shone” (Ex. 34:29). “He will beautify the meek with salvation.” Spiritual beauty is love liest when it is unconsciously pos sessed. . . The power of a beautiful life makes many a plain face lovely. The face of Moses Was transfigured by the glory of the Eternal. But “MoseS wist not.” That is the supreme height of spiritual loveliness; to be lovely, and not to know it. Virtue is so apt to become self-conscious, and so to lose its glow. . i . We cannot gaze much upon the Lord’s face and remain very conscious of ourselves. Let us lose ourselves in God. —3. H. Jowett. 30.

(Deut. 8:2)'. v ’Tis good to remember the way He hath led us; - To view once again both the track and the road, To muse on the fact that, unfailing, He fed us— Our faithful and loving, compas sionate God. ’Tis good to remember that He Him self brought us 1’hrough all of life’s journey,, right unto this day; Forgave all our sins—and our blun ders—and taught us To cleave unto Him and to make Him our stay. —J. Danson Smith.
NAZIHATREDof JEWSandTHEIRRELIEF Unfcridled Nazi hatred has made the lives of multitudes unendurable—a veritable hell. Upon no class has that hatred pressed more heavily and con stantly than upon the Jews—especially the Christian Jews.
