There is nothing which will sooner strengthen it than to consider his faithfulness whose promises are hope's anchorage. He has never suffered his faithfulness to fail-and never will. Our hope, therefore, need not falter, but be strong and very courageous. LOVE comes last. She is queen of all the graces of the inner life.
Love is the passion of self-giving.
It will pine to death if it cannot give. It must share its possessions. It is prodigal of costliest service. Distance begets coldness and indifference. When we forsake the assembly of our fellow- Christians we are apt to wrap ourselves in the chill mantle of indifference.
