LET him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

GAL. vi, 6.

OUR present time is seed time; in the other world we shall reap as we sow now. Take care that you do not lose any opportunity of helping another.

THOU must be true thyself,

If thou the truth would'st teach;
Thy soul must overflow, if thou
Another's soul would'st reach.
It needs the overflow of heart

To give the lips full speech.

AND we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that

we may know Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. I JOHN V, 20.

THY works are very good, Thy judgments true, and by Thy providence the universe is

governed.

Think truly, and thy thoughts

Shall the world's famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be a fruitful seed;

Live truly, and thy life shall be

A great and noble creed.

CLEAVE to that which is good.

ROM. xii, 9.

WE must not only do that which is good, but we must cleave to it. Who that has found

the long searched for piece of gold is willing to lose it again? Will he not rather keep it, refine it and treasure it? E. G.

NOUGHT I ask for, nought I strive for,
But Thy grace, so rich and free;
That Thou givest whom Thou lovest,
And who truly cleave to Thee.

Let me find Thee,

He hath all things, who hath Thee.

FEBRUARY 24.-St. Matthias.

WHEN I am weak then am I strong.

2 COR. xii, 10.

HOWEVER weak we are, Christ will allow us to go to Him for the strength which He has so surely promised. We shall then enjoy the supplies of His divine strength and grace.

Thou hast hid those things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

I AM too weak to climb into Thine arms,
So take me up Thyself; let all alarms
Be hushed to sleep upon Thy tender breast,
Forbid me not. I come to Thee for rest.

WHEREFORE comfort yourselves together,

and edify one another, even as also ye do. I THES. V, II.

LET everyone try to be enabled to let his profiting appear unto all men. We learn and help ourselves also by watering others with those good things which have been revealed unto us.

COUNSEL, rebuke, instruct in wisdom's way;
Console, forgive, endure unmoved and pray.
THE GOLDEN GATE.
