Gods love toward the church must be re- ciprocated real and genuine, that gen. Uine love towards God is necessary for spiritual growth; that on account of the church of Ephesus losing their love toward GCd there is not a genu inc Christian church at Ephesus and the existence of the church at Tempe depends on their continuing in love towards God; not being satisfied with self at a lower standard than laid down by God" The speaker closed by saying: God forbid that we become self-satisied to that extent that we lose our love towards God" Several strangers were present, among whom was MT.

Love should rule in all our affairs, assisted by knowledge and good sense. The chief forms of love are conjugal, parental and filial love, friendship, patriotism and charity. These should abound more and more. They assisted each other and bless us with a benign sway. At home love should rule parents and children, guided by intelligence and sound common sense. Cultivate friendship and as life passes tenderly love father and mother more and more. Cultivate love for Jesus. Find in God your Heavenly Father. Know Him and love Him supremely. Tn church matters and religion, love is the chief essential part. But know ledge and common sense are very much needed to make effective our efforts.
