broader more far-reaching love than
this. II is the universal love that sees
the good in all. the best in every one,
and that strives to bring out the highest
in each soul. This love. firmly implanted
In the heart, causes one TO be a source of
inspiration to all who come in contact
with such a personality. As the tuning
fork brings the voice 10 the true pitch
foF a given song in the sehoolroom, so an
individual filed with this powerful spirit
ual love toward all is magnet drawing
souls 10 a realization of their atoneness
with the supreme source, and Is the best
living example OF the power of Gods love
over the lives OF the children of men,
showing US clearly how we may absorb
His heavenly characteristics and attri-
butes and apply them in our everyday
work-a-day lives for our human advance
ment as well as our spiritual welfare.

Love is truly the greatest thing in the
world and the most beautiful thing in
life. 1t seems to me that all other noble
emotions are prompted by love and that
1t is the foundation OF everything that Is
good. Love is the one thing that never
faileth Mr.. II JEFFRIEs.

II was love divine that brought the
Saviour from heaven to earth to sacrifice
His life to redeem fallen man. Love is
without doubt the greatest power In the
world. 1t is at the foundation of all sac
rifces; 1t purifies, ennobles, and inspires;
it makes true character; It endures when
all else falls. Love is true life.

Love is the secret key Of the universe.
It thrills the chords of harmony that vi
brate through space. Responslvely. the
soul Is thrilled. This thrill of harmony
is love. Love is the fruit Of thought and
abides with goodness, gentleness. for
giveness. truthfulness, and mercy. Love
Is the golden note OF joy. II is the
morning zephyr whispering among the
rose leaves. Love is the breath of spring
melting the Icy heart OF winter. It is the
sunburst through a murky cloud. Love
is the music OF the brook playing among
the reeds Love is light, power. peace.
and life. Love is God.

Martha served. Martha was always
serving. 1t is the lot OF some good wom-
en-, and who shall say their love is less
than that of those who have more time
TO listen? But If all good women were
Marthas the world were poorer and sad
der. Another was there who had her
own form OF service. Martha might have
thought Of 1t. but Martha did not re-
strain her sister when she brought her
generous gifts. A years wages had gone
into the making Of her ointment: il was
an extravagant gift. 1t is the nature Of
love TO be extravagant; that is why love
is beautiful.
She did not know that Jesus was to die;
but love is prophetic Instinctively she
felt, what she could not have justified
by reason nor defined of a conviction,
that something was to happen TO Jesus.
she knew not what She only knew that
this was loves opportunity. Thank God
for the love that. not knowing what the
morrow may bring forth, provides the
alabaster box and does not keep it too
long. Mrs TAYLOR.

Love is that powerful attraction toward
ali that We conceive or fear or hope be-
yond ourselves when we find within our
own thoughts the chasm of an INSULT
cient void and seek to awaken in all
things that are a community with what
VIC experience within ourselves. If we
all would only reason more we would be
easily understood.

Kindness and love are always found in
the life that is cheerful. They belong
on the sunny side. In times of trial and
trouble we instinctively avoid the pres
ence Of the pessimist. We are comfort
others with the comfort wherewith we
ourselves are comforted. Gods love is
truly the mystic treasure; the more and
larger we check IT out to others the
greater is our balance on hand Kind
