A NEW YEARS THOUGHT.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart. with all thy soul. and with all thy mind
him shalt thou serve and to him shalt thou
cleave"
What then will be the reward of faithful love
and service be? Or working without the
hope of reward? To be pure and true, love
must be dlsnterested. Granted. Yet, is there not
an exquisite Joy keen incentive to further serv-
ice, in the encouragement which God in his In
finite goodness grants to from time to time,
and that In spite OF all the imperfections OF our
love and service? Why then. should we not look
forward to our great reward-Gods approval?
II we truly love him. should we not strive with
all might for his final We'll done?" Surely II
is not wrong to look forward to the Joy OF that
assurance, even while fully aware Of our
coming short OF 1t. yet. In best work; for thus
VIC learn to know more, and to think more of the
love which. seeing the intention. gives us credit
for the EFFORT though the result may not be- is not
what we had hoped to offer him.
With such thoughts the New Year begins As
a child tries to please the father he loves so
dearly as a friend who seeks every opportunity
to prove his friendship, so may loving thank
fu children Of our God. rejoicing in the knowledge
OF his love, go on our way full OF trust for the f
ture neglecting no opportunity, however small
1t may be. to prove our thankful love, and asking
him to kindle in us intense desire to please
him, an ardent longing for his blessed words of
commendation. We'll done. thou good and faith

four months. 1t was shown that
Bramlett had sought fight Jacob
