nor put on airs. True love is always
clothed i'm the grace of humility.
Love is not uncouth or unbacoming in
any way in its manners. But ie by nature
refined. gentle. courteous. polite.
thoughtful OF other peoples rights and
feelings.
Love is not greedy for its own rights
or possessions. 1T seeketh not its own. "
Il is unselfsh. II would rather give its
c7yn than take that which is another's.
Love is not provoked" Does not al
icW itself TO be aggravated so as TO lose
control. Love preserves a good temper.
One of the greatest Of sins is bad temper.
\ bad temper is a simeon of cevastation.
Love does not lay up an account Of re-
venge against ones enemies. IL is not
spiteful. Love is not naturally sus-
picious- Love is by nature guileIess and
innocent minded. Love does not gloat
when evil is being done. when vice is
rampant. when wickedness is being com
mitted and unrighteousness is dominant.
But it delights in the reign and the tri-
umph of the truth. rejoices in purity.
sincerity and holiness.
What Love Does Do.
Love "beareth all things" It stands
all kinds OF trials and annoyances. u
bears it's own and other peoples burdens,
too 1t cannot be annihilated by the
weight that is put upon il. Love en-
dures as the sailor the long voyage, as
thc Waterman the long waiting. as the
pilgrim the dificult, rugged pathway Of
the heights, as the soldiers the hard
blows OF battle" Love "beIieveth all
things" Love is naturally trustful. not
suspicious Of evil in others. II believes
IN what is true. 1t believes in all good
ncss: has faith in human nature. in
Gods goodness. in the power and final
triumph of the right.
Love "hopeth all things" 1t is not by
nature pessimistic. In the darkest hour
it hopes for the best. 1t is not easily
discouraged. 1t locks for the rainbow
in the midst Of the clouds. Love EN-
dureth all things" Il never breaks
down It weathers the storm. II bears
up under pain. anguish. disappointment
persecution. adversely. loss. disaster. 1t
never gives up good cause. II stands
to it's post. II perseveres to the end.
It never surrenders to the enemy.
How Long Love Lasts.
Love never faileth." Many things
called great. shall pass away with the
wreck of time. Many things will grow
feeble and die. with old age. Many
things will reach their limit and be Of
no more use. knowledge shall become
out Of date" Prophecies shall be full
filled The gift of tongues" shall cease
TO be given TO men. But love is in
exhaustible, imperishable. The immor-
tai years of God are hers Love never
grows old. Its home is in heaven. as
well as here II belongs 10 all worlds.
! conditions, and all time. Because God is
| love. it shall abide forever In Heaven,
/ love shall have its full expansion and
! fruition. There shall be a place for
faith and hope there as well as for love
/ but love shall be the foremost in office
/ and character Gods greatest angel is
/ called. Love" 1t reflects more Of his
glory than anything else. Il reveals him
more clearly 10 men

The Greatest Thing in All Worlds.

The Greatest Thing in All Worlds.
Love has been called the greatest thing
I'm the world. This description Of love is
no; great enough The apostle Paul
makes love TO be something greater even
than that. He makes it TO be the great
rs thing in all worlds. Paul says: Now
abideth faith. hope. love. the three; but
the greatest of these is love" He also
says that. Love never faileth." He
means TO say by this that love is eter-
nal
Love is the law OF heaven. II is the
sum of all earthly commandments. TO
love is TO fulfill the spirit Of all God s
laws. Love is the essence Of all great
things God himself is Love No greater
description Of God can be imagined than
that. Love in it's completeness embraces
every moral power. II is the crown of
{, cry virtue. the basis of all moral. the
vital principle OF every grace.
"As every lovely hue is light
So every grace is love"
Love is the secret OF The Christ life
the fountainhead OF all goodness; tho
sustaining power OF holiness
Love is the greatest of virtues i'm its
nature-the noblest. deepest. happiest
most persuasive. most heavenly. 1t
brings us closest to GOD. makes us par
take of his nature, his children and heirs
Il is the one thing without which faith
and hope are of little avail. II is the
most powerful, exerts the widest infiu-
ence for good. is the strongest motive
Tor the upbuilding of character. 1t is
universal Every person. Of every de-
gree. may have this love. More than
all other things together it makes those
that have IL free and equal With faith
and hope love is eternal. The longer
one lives. the more love he can have. II
will expand and grow forever and ever
IN increasing bIessedness and glory"
Take from the world all those evils
which the apostle says love is not. and
the result would be the same that is
effected every morning when the coming
OF the dawn drives away the darkness
and the storms OF the night. Fill the
world with those good qualities which
the apostle says love is and the result
would be like spring clothing the earth
with veTdure, the flowers and the fruits
OF the balmy month of June
Love amid the other graces of this
world is like a cathedral tower. which
begins on earth. and at first is surround
ed by other parts OF the structure. but
at length. rising above wall and arch
parapet and pinnacle. it shoots. spire
like. many foot. right into the air, sc
high that it's top CLOVIS like spark in
the morning light. while the rest OF the
pile is enveloped in darkness. So love
here is surrounded by the other grace,
they will have felt the wrap of night anC
darkness when IL will shine luminou,
against the sky OF eternity
In the Greek New Testament twi
words are used TO express that senti
ment or principle OF the soul that ",
call love. One is the word "phileo,
which means TO love like a friend. TIL,
other is the word "agapao." which

What Love Makes Great.

What Love Makes Great.
The Corinthian Christians were get
ting 10 be very proud of their new
spiritual gifts and freedom. The church
al CCrinth was growing largely in num-
bers and activity. II seems that many
there possessed what we may call Pen
tecostal or miraculous gifts. Some could
speak with tongues. that is. mirlcu-
lousy in various languages. Some were
prophetic as to insight. into the word
Of God and in its Interpretation. Some
possibly could work miracles. Some
were brave enough TO die as n artyrs for
the cause of Christ
The question arose among them as TO
who had the best and chieftest gist.
They wrote to Paul. who was at this
time. about FIVE years after the found
ing OF the Corinthian church, at Ephe-
sus, to decide the question for them.
Paul wrote them that no gift was any
thing unless IL was exercised under the
influence and power of love: that elo-
quence, which the world admires so
much and that men covet so highly. was
as nothing without il. We recognize
this truth at once since Paul pointed fl
out. Mere words. whether written or
spoken. and though they are put together
with almost supernatural skill. are a
rope of ice. cold and brittle. unless love
is in them" Sounding brass" is a good
symbol of oratory without love in it.
Education. knowledge, wisdom. fall I'M
der the same category unless they are
baptized in love. An educated man is
neither good. nor great. nor useful
simply because he is educated Faith
that is merely intellectual is nothing in
the sight OF God unless il is accompanied
with love. Charitv is vanity also I'M
less genuine love is the motive power in
the act The mere act of giving money
TO the poor is not meritorious in itself.
Dying as a martyr wins no crown un-
! less it is done for loves sake Love
alone makes all acts praiseworthy.
