Romans, viiil4.
AS many as are led by the Spirit
of God. they are the sons of God.
For ye have not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear; but ye
have received the spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry Abba. Father. The
Spirit himself beareth Witness with
our spirit that we are the children
of God; and if children. then heirs;
Christ; if so be that we suffer with
Him, that he may be also glorified
together. For l reckon the suffer-
ings of this present time are not
worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in US
For the earnest expectation of the
creature Wa;teth for the manifesto
tion of the sons of God. We know
that all things work together for
good to them that love God, to them
who are called according to His pur-
pose. What shall we then say to
these things? If God be for us. who
can be against us? He that spared
not His own Son, but delivered Him
up for us all, how shall He not with
Him also freely give US all things?
Who shall separate us from the love
of Christ? Shall tribulation, or dis
tress, or persecution. or famine, or
nakedneSs, or peril, or sword? Nay,
in all these things We are more than
conquerors through Him that loved
us. For am persuaded that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor prin-
cipalitieS, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor
height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus CUR Lord.

troubled We believe in God, believe
also in Me. In My Fathers house
are many mansions: if it were not
SO, l would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you. And if l

will come again and receive you unto
Myself: that where I am, there ye
may be also. And whittier I go We
know, and the way ye know. Thomas
said unto Him. Lord, we know not
whittier Thou goeSt: and how can
We know the way? Jesus saith unto
him, am the Way. the Truth and
the Life. no man cometh unto the
Father, but by Me.

Strengthen those on whom have
fallen new responsibilities in the
high tasks of Government, that with
simplicity of heart and sure trus,
in Thee, they may accept as from
Thee the burden laid upon them.
Watch over the men and womer
of our forces by sea, by land and ir

household; be Thou their strength
when they are set in the midst oi
so many and great dangers. AnC
