Take the Gift.

However valuable gift may be
in itself, it is of no use to us until we
take it. If "a man should give US a
watch, or a coat, or thousand dol
lars, and should say to us, "That is
yours, you may have it for your
own" if we did not believe he was
sincere, and so did not regard the
gift as really our own, it would be of
no value to u.s., 1t might be ours, but
our unbelief would render it useless,
and deprive us of all the benefit
which its possession might confer.
So with Gods gift-His unspeakable
gift to man. He has given His only
begotten Son, and men will not re-
ceive the gift. They do not believe
the love of God toward them.
He gives eternal life, they do not
receive it.
He gives the bread from heaven,
they pine and perish with hunger
because they do not accept what He
bestows.
"He gives the water Of life, crying,
"If any man thirst, let him come
unto Me, and drink" and they perish
with thirst, and turn their eyes away
from the living fountain. God gave
His Son Jesus Christ to be the Saviour
of lost world. "He came unto His
own, and His own received Him not.
But as many as received Him, tG
them gave He power to become the
sons of God, even to them that be-
lieve on His NAME"
And this great gift, the choicest
possession of Him who is the Lord O
all; the grandest, richest, and most
priceless gift in the whole universe O
of God, he offers to you! Receiving
Him you live, rejecting Him you die
The gift is bestowed in honesty anC
good faith; the only reason why yol
are not profited, enriched, and blessed
by it, is, you do not receive it.
Will you today accept Gods licl
bestowment? Will you take the gif
which God offers? Casting asid,
your pride, your self-cOntidence, you
doubt and fear, will you receive tn,
Son of God, believing on his name
having faith in him, and givin,
thanks to God for his unspeakabl
gift?-Southern Presbyterian.

joice with joy unspeakable and full
of glory-Him we shall see by and
by-shall see Him as He is, and then
we shall be like Him.
Will it make us proud? That can
not be, but unutterably thankful and
glad and happy Why may we not,
then, be glad and thankful and hap
ply now? Why will we not accept
and rely upon the inspired assurance,
"He who began work in you will

Little Temptations.

Satan seldom comes to a young
Christian with great temptations or
with proposal to commit great sin.
You bring a green log with lighted
candle together, and they are pretty
safe neighbors; but now bring IA few
shavings and set them alight, and
then bring a few small sticks, and let
them take fire, with the green log in
the midst of them, and you will soon
get rid Of your log.
And so it is with little sins. You
would be startled at the idea of COM
hitting a great sin, and so the devil
brings you Il little temptation and
leaves you to indulge yourself.

Of his sheep, oxen, camels, health,

Yes! The very reverse of what is
known in the world as prosperity
generally forms the background on
which the Bow of Promise is seen.
God smiles on US through these rain
drops and tear-drops of sorrow! He
loves us too well. He has too great
an interest in our spiritual welfare to
permit us to live on in what is mis-
named "Prosperity." When He
sees duties languidly performed, or
coldly neglected-the heart deaden-
ed, and love to Himself CONCEALED by
the absorbing power of a present
world, He puts thorn in our nest
to drive us to the wing, and prevent
our being grovellers forever!
