Growing up for God. Eph. q: tf-16.
(Union meeting with the Junlors.)

We are growing all the time-grow-
ing in evil or growing In GOOD. The
question Of questions is the direction
of our growth.
II is not enough to grow partly to-
ward Christ and partly toward the
world. The result is that we never
reach Christ at all, while the world
Is reached all too easily.
Suggestions.
Change is one of the laws of life.
II you are not growing--in one direc-
tion or another-you are dead.
Whence, but from God, came our
marvellous possibilities of develop
ment? Then we should use them for
God.
Everything Is priced according to its
associations You would value any
trivial object If It had belonged to
John Milton or George Washington.
SO very small life is great if it be-
longs to God.
Unless your life is given to God
how can you expect God to give His
life for you?

Right growth is easy and delightful
whether of the body or the soul.
God would be a very unkind gard
ener If He never pruhed His trees, or
tied His vines to restraining stakes
building grows up by first grow
ing down. There is no true growth
without deep foundations.
The gardener sets his flowers in
an attractive pattern. II single
flower fails to grow the pattern is
spoiled. Every little child is such a
flower in Gods garden.
Questions.
Am l really growing more Christ
like every day?
Does my inspiration TO growth
come from the highest sources?
Am l satisfied with less than the
best things possible for me?
Quotations.
If the amount of energy lost in try
ing to grow were spent IN fulfilling
rather the conditions of growth, we
should have many more cubits to
show for our stature.-Drummond

Sunshine on our faces;
Pressing onward every day
