is not prophecy, not language, not
knowledge--these are only surface
manifestations OF life and must pass
away. Love lies deeper and is
eternal. Love is life itself In highest
action. AS the child develops in
stature, desires and judgment he puts
away childish things; so love stands
for the full measure of Christian char

all minor graces, attainments and
