! Christ, Rev. 5, IA
King Edward III was considered as
/ having done things more commendable
than his victories. because, after having
vanqushed, by force Of battle, the King
of France, he threw off the whole Of his
own glory, and gave il devoutly to God,
| causing to be sung "Not Unto us, Lord,
not unto us, Lord, but unto Thy name,
be the glory given, "a&e.
And thus seems the duty Of every one,
as expressed in / Cor. s, 20. "For ye are
bought with a price Therefore gloriiiy
God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are Gods"
Crawdray once said: "As the glory OF
God infinitely transocnds man with all
his abilities and honors, SO it should he
in greater esteem than any OF ell things
that can be brought in comparison with
it,"
The purpose for which man was created
seems to be TO glorify his Maker, in his
his body and spirit, which are his.
THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE.
Jesus Christ died to purchase back te
humanity the 'Pearl Of Great Price,
which had long been lost in the dreary
desert of sin, and as a consequence, Paul
gives US the idea, that since we are bought
with price, we are to glorify God IN oui
body and spirit.
We are Gods people, first, because He
created us, and secondly, because de ha'
redeemedlus with His own precious bleod
hence, we should glorify Him.
, We would do well to ask ourselves the
, question, "Are we glorifying our Creator
and Redeemer, and doing all we can e
, fulfill the God-given purpose OF our livesf

e do not the examples they-set reflect il

Then are our homes places Of prayer
Of love, Of virtue and Of true affection
