To be filed with the Spirit, we
must be ready always to obey the
Spirit. sod will never give us grace
to be stored up, to be wrapped in a
napkin and laid away; he will give it
only to be used in obedience and SER
vice. Somehow many of us are very
slow in understanding the purpose OF
our redemption. We accept our sal
walton as though its only purpose was
to make us good, to give joy, TO start
us on career of uprightness and hon
or. We must learn that we are saved
to serve; that we find Christ in order
to bring others to him. So the Holy
Spirit is given to us to make us win
ners of men, and we will receive only
so much of the Spirit as we allow to
become active in the service of love.

1t takes two things to make violet
the root and the season. The season
cannot make a violet without any
root, and the root cannot make a vio-
let without a season. These two things
must go together, or there can be no
violet. If the thread is there, and
the spinner is there, working together,
they will make the garniture Of the
summer.
And so it is with the human soul.
God makes nothing without the germs
in you, and the germs in you make
nothing without God; and when these
germs are brought under the influence
of Gods love, and they reach out and
accept these things, then comes on the
garden OF the Lord in the human
soul.-Rev H. w. Beecher.

1t is for want of steady. profound

experience is shallow because there is
SO little of God in it. He is not in all
their thoughts They do not pray with
out ceasing. They do not abide in
Christ. But when the heart is sur
rendered to the Lord Jesus Christ He
comes to dwell there, and when the
new vision of His glory breaks on the

become as profoundly and as perma-

ence as we are of our own existence.
