THE TRUE onouSp OF rxrrnrsr.

A great writer, speaking of the cflort to
convert the Jews said that interest In such n
mission cannot bo strong enough to stand
the strain unless 1t Is founded on the love of
OF God. at Is not love for tho sheep that
will sustain Peter In feeding them; IL Is the
fact that they are Christ's sheep. II is not
because they are lOycabc that his interest In
them will continue, IL IL because Christ Is
lovcahle." And the application Is made
"Unlcss you believe that Israel is Gods ma
tion your effort to cvangcliao among Israel
will soon languish.'
This rule applies to all work Mnrtincnu
says that the ground Of all charitable work
is not the needs of the people but the love OF
God, and although We cannot accept all Of
Martincau's teachings, IN this he Is surely
right. We must very often grow weary in
well doing when we see how little results
from our work, how unthankiul and evil are
these Tor whom we a-C spending our strength
ana using the very best that Is In us. unless
we are doing this work directly and con
sciously for love Of God. II will not suffice
To- sustain us that in a general way We rccog-
nize the fact that our Saviour accepts all that
We do for others as done Tor him.
The sentiment must be- turned tho other
way around. Love for him must bo SO strong
In our hearts that we cannot help doing good
10 others. because our love must find u way
Of expression and this Is the most natural
and satisfactory way. God loves these
wretched, needy, SHINING neighhors Of ours.
He loved them well enough To- give his Son TO
die for them; how can we help wanting to do
something for them for his sakc2
This is the secret Of perseverance In good
works, and Of efficiency In them. We may
not see our reward. No matter; we shall not
weary in well-doing for that. We have all
the time the inestimable reward OF working
together with God for those whom he loves
and We for his sake love also. Let Us apply
this thought to our Christmas bencvolcucrs
and IL will make all the year that follows u
time of true Christian charity.
