Tin the- friendships wt < cement, in tilt lives we live, in tin love we cherish, in the worship we rentier, in the' pood we do". If any of" us would have the new in all the year, fresh, beautiful and satisfying, let hint love in some mea sure as Christ laved, and live in some form as Christ lived, and the. word- of the Christ shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life. God who renews and beautifies the face of nature; will crown with the light and joy of. heaven the soul that loves Him. If we would cooperate with God, or let God use us in making ail things new in time and place, we must bring the Divine into the mind, and heart, and life. Failing in this we shall doom ourselves to live in." the old, and never be satisfied; l Let us nourish the mind on the word of God. Man cannot live by. bread alone. Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the Truth. Let us refresh and strengthen the heart, by love ? the love of God and man "Love thinketh no evil. Love is the fulfilling of the Law. Only in the exercise of practical love, ever kind, ever doing good, can we have all things new, and be useful, ami happy. Let us live a noble life, Godlike, rising above all that is low, narrow, selfish, sensuous, and purely earthly, and reaching up into the light and life of God, then shall we make true character, and find all things new ?
