Remember me-" the Saviour said
On that forsaken night.
Wien from his side the nearest fed,
And death was Close in sight.
Through all the following ages track
The world remembers yet;
With love and friendship gazes back,
And never can forget.
We see his word along our way;
We see his light above;
3 member when we strive and pray,
Romember when we love.

N, Heart Can Hold All Christian Love

The self-giving love of Christ awakens
responsive love in all who contemplate it.
As they muse the fire burns as they enter
into Christs love his love enters into them.
Filled with its fullness, the pent-up hOods
within them are bound to find an outlet. The
love of Christ is too large for any heart to
hold it. The heart of Christ is q costly thing
to own. If it cost him the cross, it will cost
them no less.-J. NJ. Campbell.
