!, How to Love God.

How many people there are in the world
who are honestly endeavorng TO serve God
lasPirit and in truth, encompasslng heaven
and earth to prove their devotion TO his
will, and yet how few seem TO understand
the road which leads most directly to His
favor. Some rely upon the faith which
they profess; Others upon the sirictness of
their daily walk and conversation; while
yet another class will hang their hopes of
Heaven upon their frequent prayers, and
rigidly enforced devotions.
While we acknowledge these to be part
Of the legitimate duties of the true Chris
tan, yet there is another, and important one,
which is too often overlooked, and that is
love to man. And he who is the most
wretched and despised Of all, deserves our
love the most--not that love that pities and
turns away to weep, but love that will
clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and sue
cor in the hour Of need. ,
The following beautiful lines by Leigh
Hunt show how Gods love may be won -
Abon Ben Adheim--may his tribe increase!---
Awoke one night from q deep dream Of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich and like a lily in bloom,
An-angel writing in book of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adheim bold,
And to the presence in his room he said,
"What writest thou!" The vision raised his head,
And in voice made all Of sweet accord, ..
Answered, "The names of those who love the
Lord as ta
"Andi is mine one' said Adheim. "Nay, not So"
Replied the angel Abon spoke more low,
But eheeriy still, 81 pray thee, then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow men,"
The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
He came again with great Weakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had
blest, 5t
And To-! Ben Adheim's name led all the rest.
