les and la6orers have worked with
Christlike desire in their hearts to
benefit others.
The conserving power of love has
been demonstrated in instances with
out number. By making great sacri-
fees OF their personal feelings and in
terests, husbands and wives and chill
dren, brothers and sisters, have saved
the home from wreck and ruin. SINH
larly the peace of communities and ma
tons has been established. Witness
the power Of LinCOln's unquenchable
love for the whole country and the
answering love of the people of the
South. His noble sentiment, with
malice toward none and with charity
toward ALL" was the offspring of
Christian faith. The reforming power
of Christlike love is recorded upon the
pages of history. Love is intolerant of
anything that Expresses or wrongs
ones fellow-being. 1t hates injustice
and every form Of mans inhumanity
TO man. 1t rouses the benevolent soul
to ceaseless warfare against social
wrongs, industrial wrongs and politi-
cal evils. 1t is planting this earth over
with the most beautiful institutions of
mercy-hospitals, asylums, refugees, or
phanages, homes and free education OF
the best kinds known to the wise and
good.
The history of Christian missions
enriches the annals of our race with
the noblest devotion to the uplifting
and salvation of the ignorant, debased
and hopeless.
The Christians likeness to Christ in
love to God and to man is the test of
his real advancement in the new life.
q. Cor. 1919 The success or fail
ure of any congregation and OF any
body of believers is to be measured by
The Christlikeness Of it's members. In
crease in numbers and wealth and
worldly power may be accompanied by
decrease in faith and hope and love.
The power of Christlike love TO illu-
mine and gladden. the heart in which IL
dwells is being experienced daily and
hourly by earnest disciples of Christ
the world over. A little girl at Pueblo
lay upon her deathbed. Just before
her spirit took its flight she said to
her father, Papa, / love everybody"
and then a moment later. Papa, am
in heaven" She had fathomed the Sc
cret of human bliss. She loved every
body and to her heaven had begun on
earth.
Love is the golden chain that binds
The happy souls above;
And he's an heir of heaven who finds
His bosom glow with love"
