the key OF love, we gain admittance 10
that which we seek for.
Because Of the sublimity Of his
interests. and because OF his tender
and sweet sympathy. and the beauty
and power Of his language, PauTs
teachings have become or should be-
come, a study and inspiration to ali
who read them.
Why is IL necessary for us to love
I God. love His Son. love all things at
all times? Why is it necessary when
someone does us an evil deed to turn
with out-stretched hand and call him
brother? why! Because we are
taught and we never should let these
words leave us, and never fail TO have
faith I'm this verse. "All things work
together for good to them who love
God" Paul believed these words and
trled-and did follow out this lesson,
and when one loves God truly and
sincerely. the world with all its
beauties. with all its trouble and
trials, is sweet to them.
Remember the words Of our Sa-
viour. "Within Me is q well of living
water. and whosoever drinketh of Me

life" Woe to them who. with their
eyes shut. their souls barred. are
either cropping around in the darkness
seeking for this we'll without thinking
of love. or are plunging blindly
, wildly and swiftly TO the road, the
road which leads to disaster and dire
y destruction. Drink ye of Me" Is
this not enough without the divine
, and blessed promise Of love, which
follows. let no one fail TO see and un-
b derstand the necessity of accepting

TO have godliness means the posses
sion of more than great riches, ant
much gold. Paul says IN Timothy
y &c. ITO have godliness is much gain.
In Titus, 2-f3, Paul says we should
