He loves us just the same.

LESSON VI.-The Vine and the Branches

etc. There may be much work and little
fruit, for the work may be our work and
not His There may also be seemingly
little work, but a great deal of fruit
Faith and meekness and patience may
not be manifest in great works as much
as in the ordinary routine of life 1t does
not become us to be ever longing to do

bear what comes to us. The vine bears
the fruit through the branches, so Christ
in us will quietly do all 1t is for us
just to abide in His love.
