God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son that, whosoever
believed IN Him should not perish. but
have everlasting life" Thus have We the
origin OF love. and emanating from such
divine source II must necessarily be
enduring. everlasting Therefore to prop
erly exercise II in its true meaning and
intent We must keep in close touch with
Deity.
There Is in love a purity and an intense
roaity that exalts 10 the highest pitch OF
human excellence. Il is not a passion. i
IS worship a religion. teaching the sub
linest lessons OF seIf-abnegation and sac
rihce. and suffering and tender humility.
as II feels every instant its unwOrthiness
of the object loved The more tenderly
one loves so much the more does one dis
cover In oneself defects. rather than vir-
tues. Souls ike these love with a pure
devotedness. knowing no end nor limit.
That which has begun in the workshop OF
the Divine Artifcer is continued and per
Iected In eternity In its nature Il has A
something almost sacred. for the Heav-
enly Father himself set IN IN the hearts
OF His children " e BLANCHFORD.

The hands that help are better far.
Than lips that pray.
Love is the ever-gleaming star
That leads the way
That shines not on vague worlds OF bliss
But on paradise IN this.
We love our fellow-man, our kind;

/ To phantoms we are deaf and blind.
But we extend
/ The helping hand TO the distressed.
By lifting others we are blessed
