points
The difficulty with the Of the people today is
that they do not know what Christian love is They hear
denouncing sin and using the strongest language
legitimate in condemnng the vicious habits of the present
time, and then they wonder how that have the
Spirit of the Christ that he have love for human
ity.
The Apostle Paul vertable terror to evildoers-
he had much of the Spirit of his Master and in his ministry
you will find denuncations which certainly terrific
just in the ministry of Peter will find the message
that brought about the death of Ananas and Sapphira
My brothers and sisters in the heart of the where
you will find the intense hatred for evil things there
you will find the deepest love for things that holy and
good.

weeping with the sister of Lazarus order for to know
His affection at heart

is necessary for to Jesus the Christ upon the
cross and to hear His words-FATHER THEM FOR

derstand His great heart of Love for humanity.
And So ZION it my daily and study to stir up
within your nexpressbe hatred for SIM for dis

that of God and pray that God through the power
of the Holy Spirit will create in hearts intense love
for e for health for righteousness for Heaven for TRUTH
for purity and for all other things that know of God
the Father.
He who does not know how to fight SIM will never, to
any great extent be used of God in establishing THE KING
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
FAREwELLs ARE DIFFICULT TO EXPRESS
AS we are approaching the sentence "Thnk THESE
things" the Apostle Paul trying to goodbye Several
times BEFORE he has tried it, but has failed.
So great and so deep his affection for the Church
at Phpp and full his heart that, although he had
said-"FINALLY my brethren" he found it almost i'm
possible to close his Letter.
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE FULL GLADNEsS
At last with his heart full overlooking lost to all his
surroundings and fire with heavenly ZEAL he says to the
Church at Philppi-
"REJoICE IN THE LORD AWAY: AGAIN SAY, RE-
JoIcEY'
And so this afternoon, from the first hymn sung the
KEYNOTE has been of oy unspeakabe and full Of glory
There note of sadness in the Christian religion
There is nothing but joy in the heart of any or
any who has truly repented who has been born
again. linked with God through Christ and who knows for
certainty that he she has become New creature in
Christ Jesus"
PERFECT LOVE EXPERIENCES FEAR
The Christian has no fear, for
PERFECT LOVE CAsTETH FEAR!'
The Christian has anxiety, for he knows that God
feeds the and that He takes notice of the little
field and hat-through the Son of God HimselfHe said
to His children
&c. Take thought for your life, what we shall eat
what shall drink yet for body what We shall
put on Is not the life than meat and the body than
raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they not neither
do they reap gather into barns yet Heavenly
Father feedeh them Are We not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought add cubit unto
his stature?
"And why take we thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field how they they toll not neither do
they spin
"And yet 1 say unto you That Solomon in all his
glory not arrayed like one of these
WHEREFORE if God clothe the grass of the field
which today and tomorrow cast into the oven shall He
not much more clothe you, o we of little faith?
THEREFORE, take thought saying What shall eat?
or What shall drink? or Wherewithal shall be
clothed?
G. For your Heavenly Father knoweth that We have
need of these things.
"BUT SEEK YE FIRST KINGDOM GOD HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE SHALL ADDED
UNTO YOU!" (Matthew 6:25-33).
MAN HIMSELF DO NOTHING
You cannot add cubit to your stature.
You cannot make hair of your head white black
