THE LOVING WAY.
Again, l advise you, as one Of the bes
things you can do With Christ, to take hin
into your love. Now there arc two thing.
which make us love any one-inherent at
Effectiveness and then what he does in the
way Of Kindness toward us. Now Christ il
IN both these positions. Inherent attract
iveness-fairer than the children Of men,
the luster Of the morning in his eye, the
glow Of the setting sun IN his cheek, fnyrrh
and frankincense in the breath Of his lin.
In heaven OF holy beings, the best. In a
heaven Of mighty ones, the strongest. In
a heaven Of great hearts, the tenderest and
the most sympathetic Why sculpture
LIS never yet been able to chisel his form.
nor painting to present the flush OF his
cheek, nor music to strike his charms; and
| the greatest surprise OF eternity will be
the first moment when we rush into his
presence and with uplifted hands and
streaming eyes and heart bounding with
rapture, we cry out, This is Jesus"
All over glorious Is my Lord,
lie must be loved and yet adored;
His WORTH II all the nations knew,
Sure, the whole earth would love him too.
Has be not done enough to win our affec-
tionsi Peter the Great, laying aside royal
authority, went down among the ship car
penters to help them, but Russia got the
chief advantage Of that condescension.
John Howard turned his back upon the
refnements and went around prisons to
spy out their sorrows and relieve their
wrongs, but English criminals got the
chief advantage Of that ministry. But
when Christ comes, it is for you and me.
The sacrifice for you and me The tears
for you and me. The crucifxion for you
and me.
If l were hopelessly in debt, and some
one came and paid my debts and gave me
a receipt in full. and called OF the pack Of
