Love Casts Out Fear.

The love of God casteth out all fear. In
the absence of fear there is the joyous
sense of security and peace. There is but
one fear in all of lifes experience that
brings comfort with 1.-THE fear of dis
pleasing God. That fear makes men
fearless even in the face of death.
A striking illustration of faith conquer
ing fear of death is given in Stevens
Methodism, volume 1, page 7S: When
John Wesley came as missionary to the
American colonists and Indians he had
not obtained his later experience of the
conscious favor of God. While on his

Spiritual Liz BIT.

In darkness there is danger aud fear.
In weakness there is peril and dread.
This is true in the physical life.
Is it not much more SO in the soul S
life?
When material darkness envelops men-
when the night comes-when the fogs
arise, they seek to Danish the darkness.
The candles are lighted to dispel the
gloom.
When the soul is cropping in darkness
why not seek for light? Yet in the spirit,
ual lie of men the many love darkness
rather than light; and we are told that
the reason of this is that their deeds are
evil.
1t is sin that keeps men from seeking
the light. The first step toward the
souls safety is repentance. The light
and salvation of which the Psaimst
speaks is not for the continuously
wicked.
All have sinned David had previously
sinned. but in the hour of deep re-
pentance God created i'll him a clean
heart and renewed within a righteous
spirit. 1t was this that enabled him to
say. THE Lord is my light and my
salvation
The Only Way.
There is safety in the way of right
eousness. All other roads are infested
with darkness and peril. The light ever
the just are these whom Cod hath justi-
fled and against whom no man can lay
anything to their charge.
What shall the righteous at any time
fear?
OF whom shall they be afraid?
The eternal God our refuge is
Our Buckler. Shield and Tower
Our foundation and hope
. In every stormy hour.
Amidst all the vicissitudes perils and
storms of life. the Christian may stand
serene and unmoved in the consciousness
that the everlasting arms of Omnipo-
tence are about him. Is it not written
for his comfort and for his assurance
of absolute safety that the eternal God
is his refuge and that underneath him
are the everlasting arms?
Who trusts in God. stron: abode
In heaven and earth Ioss"sscs:
Who looks in low" to Hin above,
No fear his heart oppreSseS.

Safety in Belief.

We are considering the Christians safe
ty from evil and harm. Outside of the
Bible there is no Christ and therefore
there are no Christians. Inside of the
Bible, the book which all Christian En-
deavorers revere as divine revelation u
Gods will and purpose to mankind, are
abundant assurances of safety from per-
nlanent peril and evil of any kind or ma
ture.
Fully trusting in those assurances. they
rejoice with the Psalmist that there is
nothing that they should fear-nothing of
which they should be. afraid..for the
Lord is their light and salvation and the
strength Of their life.

TOPIC:
Twelve Great Nerses-II, the Safety Verse

recognizes that God is spirit. infinite
eternal and Interchangeable, in His being
wisdom. power. holiness, justice, good
ness and truth.
But the world does not accept this
definition, at least, not in d practical
way.
Many who do not deny in thory that
there is and must be such a Being. fail
to put their reliance upon Him. and trust
to their own strength III the conflict with
the temptations and perils of life.
The reason of this is III the fact that
the human heart is naturally proud and
boaStful. Consequent to tho fall of man
from the estate wherein he was created
the understanding became darkened and
the heart deceitful and desperately wick
ed. The dangers and perils to which we
are exposed arc from ourselves, and IN
aided by some power from without we
| cannot successfully cope with them and
! overcome them.
| We are in darkness and have no
power to create light: We are lost and
! have ability to save ourselves. Our
! only safety is in the source that David
! sought and found:
THE Lord is my light and my saliva
ton.
In the possession of that light and that
salvation all may triumihantly eXclaim:
Whom shall 7 fear?
THE Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom shall be afraid?'
Ny Light.
There are many safety verses in the
Bible. in the sense that they point to
the means and source from which it
can alone be secured. The whole of the
ninety first Psalm and many other places
i'll the Old and the New Testament set
forth the security of those who dwell in
the secret place OF the Most High and
who abide under the shadow of the Al
mighty.
| 1t is not enough to know where to find
the safety verse or verses-the important
thing is to personally find and abide in
the place of safety
What shall it profit any one to know
I of place of security If no effort is made
| to reach it?
The significant word in the text IS
! my" God is light, but is I4o my light?
