named the daisy had In bis study 'oi
the wild flower observed that II opened
Its eye with the opening Of the day and

The Newtown bee., 1906-08-10

as those who walk together along our highways speak one to the other and pointing with the finger say: See the beautiful hills, or behold the glorious sunset; so may we who desire to know the love of God speak often one to an- other, and whenever we see anything good or strong or faithful or beautiful let us say-see in that thing there! is there not with us the love of God? In that true kindness, in that other un- ostentatious generosity there lies the power of the love of God. So this is the lake-the source of all the foun- tains of earth, the boundless supply from which every good thing cometh, that God so loved the world, that God is love.
 But God has not left us, good though that be, to seek out this love of God and find it for ourselves as and when we can God so loved the world that He wanted the world to know of His lo:e, and He sent his message of love unto it. There is living river of the word of God that foweth direct ly out of His love to bring the mes- sage of that love to men. God sent one who knew in His own heart the great love of God, and who made it His life work
 TO TELL US AND SHOW US GODS LOVE; that was the work of Jesus Christ amongst men. He brought the love of God in His words and in His works right by the doors of men. He filled the common ways with it. His mis- sion was to say unto the world, as one Of His disciples has told us, "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us." Through his
