When We mediate on Jesus We see
the beauty Of bis face reflected In the
waters that break forth from
the rocks aud hillx, aud bear the sound
Of His voice in the music Of the bah
ling brock.
When thoughts OF Christ I'LL the
heart the dew on the petals OF the
flowers that bloom In the garden
and by the wayside reflect beauty and
love that are unseen and unselt BY
those who know Him not
Christ filed the world with flowers,
And filed the flowers with dew,
The dew He filed with love
For you, and you, and you"
The song Of the birds OF meadow
and wood waited on the balmy breath
Of spring thrills the heart that loves
Jesus with heavenly melody. To the
one who realizes that Christ created
things the whole OF nature voices His
praise.
We are told that eyery day at even
tide the pious Swiss herdsman Of the
Alps takes his Alpine horn and shouts
loudly through II Praise ye the
Lord" Then q brother herdsmnn on
some distant slope responds, praise
the Lord" Quickly another responds
stiIl higher up the mountain carrying
further on praise the Lord" Till bill
shouts to hill. and peak echoes TO peak
q sublime anthem Of praise to the
maker OF all, the giver Of all, the re-
deemer OF all. To those who have
Jesus in the heart there is a conscious
ness OF his preseace and praise every
where and in everything
To those who have taken Christ as
Lord and teacher, and delight 70 sit
at His feet, there are other and great
er joys than can be found in the works
Of nature. There are graces possess
ing sweeter charm. and creating high
er JOY than a be experienced in con-
templatine the splendors Of the sun,
the beauty OF the flower, or the cad
ence Of the song bird.
Earth, sea and sky proclaim the
wisdom Of Jehovah, Christ reveals
His infinite love. 1t is in our redemp-
ton, our salvation, that we feel most
deeply the throbbing heart Of Jesus.
1t is when contemplating our de-
liverance from sin, its guilt its gloom,
its dom, and the purchased life OF
eternal bliss, that we behold the
brightest display of Christ's love, and
experience the deepest JOY.
When we mediate on Jesus as
Savior, as our Savior. I'VE rejoice
with a Joy unspeaksble" with David
we sing. "He hath put my feet upon a
rock--He bath put a new song In
my mouth"
In Christ's very FIRST message He
declared that He came to give beauty
for ashes, joy for mourning, the gar
ment OF praise for the spirit Of
heaviness.
"Christ is love; His mercy brightans,
All the paths in which we rove,
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens,
Christ is wisdom, Christ is love.
"Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays, and ages move;
Bet His mercy waneth never;
Christ is wisdom, Christ is love.
"He with earthly cares entwlneth
Hope aud comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth;
Christ is wisdom, Christ is love"
The great Teacher is the incarna
, tion OF wisdom and love, and when HI
! says Learn OF me" 1t Is the pleading
of a lover in the interest OF thos'
whom He would Undue with love.
. In His teaching be breaches with
bis learness TO abide 10 His love-
!. that their JOY may be made full"

Great achievements do not come +
