peace is the dream of every life,
and of Il few lives it may be called
the aim. Or | may put it slightly
stronger and say, that everywhere
people are looking for peace, for it
is the desire of all. But many are
aimlessly looking, and more hope
lessly looking. Peace comes only
to those who walk where she may
be found. Peace, like other valu
abIes, hath her price!
Whoever has peace has Il boon

daily break the law Of their own

Again the wicked can hardly be ut
peace with other men, for he who
wrongs his own conscience will
soon learn to sin against hls neigh

his own conscience gives will soon

And he who is not at peace with

Peace is no petty possession, but
well worth her price. We have
vainly dreamed that peace is n fruit

We have felt that were our cir
cumstances better they would pour
peace into our hearts as the sun
pours his warmth upon our heads,
But it is not so. Contentment with
our life's lot yields the first fruits
of peace. And purity of mind and

At times we imagine we woulc have

shows the duties incumbent upon

verses.
The first thing emphasized is that

salvation dependent upon works or
merit, but upon the unmerited kind.

God. Instead of such salvation
authorizing or permitting one to
continue in sin It's teachings and
effect are for Il higher and holer

First, of Il negative character.

grace are to deny themselves I'M
godlinesS and worldly lusts.
Second, of positive nature.
These are to live sober!y, righteous
ly and godly. 1t appears to he the

man is to consider his duties to self. .
He is to live sohrrly, having all
parts of his being under control.
He is to he faithful in duties to his

have respect for his neighbor. lie
must have II kind Of self love or es.
TEEN before he can love and esteem
his neighbor. Faithful TO self and
honest and upright in all his deal

inculrnted by christianity. With
these, if not of first Importance, he
is to recognize and fulfill the obi.
cations he owes 10 Deity, living Il
godly life. In all his thoughts and
WAYS, his aims and purposes, he
must take coguiZamcc of God ; will
