As soon as thou dost experience in thy

Christ knocking at the door OF thy heart.
Blessed indeed are all they who hear and

Make time for serious thoughts. Let no
day pass without some memory of solemn
things. Each morning as you rise remind
yourselves that God spake these words
and said" Each evening as you lie down
to rest let Gods angels close the door Of
your heart on thoughts of purity and peace.
The soul that has never lived face to face
with eternity is vulgar soul. The life that
has never learnt the high law of holiness is
a ruined and wasted life.-F. W. Farrar.
