love. and God wants the best 90
Such love not only hcnors God. but

intense the love. - much the more
is the one who thus loves ennohied-

The Foundation OF Religion. OF
Character. OF Righteousness. lies IN
right heart. a heart that loves Cod
ard loves men. No act Of goodness
without this is true goodness And
men will not long continue 10 do right
toward all without this deeper motive
This love is not national. but mol

I whole nation will have this heart OF
\ love.
He that has this love in his heart
has the fountain and source OF all vir-

would be free from its corruptions
and crimes. The newspapers would
give US the morning news OF good
deeds. instead OF its food OF crimes
and wrongs.
