THE PR J} Y E% CORNER
"THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT"
LOVE ? JOY
"First of all comes Love, a purely
spiritual gift It is the giving out of
spiritual life. It is the giving out of
self to God and man, and the prac
tical "recognition of a real claim
from our Creator and from our
neighbors. Yes, too, from the very
animal world which surrounds us.."
"Love is thinking as little as we
can of ourselves, as much as lies in
our power of others and everything
of our Heavenly Father, who is
Love."
"Love spells unselfishness, merci
fulness, consideration, pity, and sym
pathy toward our fellowmen, devo
tion in faith, and devotion in the ser
vice of God."
There are Three Characteristics in
this "Fruit of Love":
"(a) Though tfulness. The serious
ness which you may fell as you con
stantly remember God's presence.
The recollection and recognition of
His goodness and providence which
bursts out in praise and thanks
giving. God is Light, and God is
Love."
"(b) Sacrifice. With the Love of
God and man in your hearts you
will always be ready to lead the life
of taking your cross and denying
yourselves daily whenever the call
comes to you, to some act of self
' surrender, self sacrifice, self denial,
self control, self restraint ? in a
word, unselfishness which may be
called self effacement, self forget
fulness, and self elimination."
"(c) Perseverance, which is pa
tience in action, as patience is perse
verance in character.
It will be difficult to go on keep
ing up the high standard ? that of |
Love ? which is at once both a ser- j
vice you are gound to render to God |
and man, and a freedom which turns
the iron fetters and chains of ser- |
vice into cords of silk. There is (
no power but that of The Holy
Ghost, which will enable you to en
dure to the end."
2. Next comes Joy.
If much is said about Love, al
most as much is said of joy, as the
sunshine of our Christian religion
Love is as the rising sun in the :
morning. Joy as the sun in its zen- '
ith at noon.
What is this, this gift? A great
master of the spiritual life has said '
that "spiritual joy is the greatest
sign of the Divine Grace dwelling in
the soul." It is not mirth, which is

merely an act, "it is cheerfulness
which is a habit of mind, which
keeps up a kind of day light in the
mind, and fills it with a perpetual
serenity. "It is the radiant atmos
phere which plays around pleasure,
and the illumination which plays
about the life of true plaesure."
,Joy is "the oil of gladness" in the
| hub of the wheels of life, by which,
in spite of its ups and downs, its
j hills or depressions, its ruts or its
stones, the wagon goes forward la
boriously it may be, and slowly too.
Yet without, creaking and groaning.
"The joy of the Lord is your
strength." You will often feel de
pressed, despondent, discouraged,
despairing, and yet can possess the ,
spirit of calf contentment which is
Joy in Repose, as Praise is Joy in
Repose, as Praise is Joy in utterance
and Enthusiasm Joy in Practice.
"And then Joy whispers '"hope,"
and carries you forward, and helps
;you to victory through failure and
'defeat, which would otherwise crush .
you. Yes, "Joyful through Hope," (
as well as "steadfast in faith and
rooted in charity. Cultivate this ]
second Fruit of the Holy Spirit. And ?
not only for our own sakes but for
that of those around you, do not: j
"In the sweet air made gladsome ]
by the sun j
Carry a foul and hazy mist with- <
in." ]
Do not: \
"Deprive yourselves of life and ,
light, and sorrow there where you ?
should dwell in joy."
"Joy in the Holy Ghost is possible. ^
It can. by prayer and praise become
the "Kingdom of God ? one of the
ruling principles ? in your hearts.
This "joy in believing" is heaven an
ticipated, where
"All that we know they do above ,
Is that they sing and that they ,
love." \
"Of course, you must expect j
clouds overshadowing the sun. But .
The Holy Spirit will help you to look],
by faith behind them and through j
them and see the golden rim and
background and go cheerfully on
your way singing: *
"The inner side of every cloud t
Is bright and shining,
I therefore turn my clouds about J
And wear them always inside out :
And show the lining."
And: I
"Feel altho no tongue can prove ?
That every cloud that spreads above, .
And veileth love, itself is love."
(To be continued)
A PRAYER: *
Dear God of Love, my Friend, my '
Master, my King, my Christ, wilt
Thou not grant me this greatest and
best of gifts, even Thine own na
ture? Thou alone canst give it, apd
it is dear to me because it some
from Thee through The Spirit. 0.
in the ways of life which are often
strange and hard, wilt Thou not
cause Thy Love to shine forth, that
I may see and understand? Come i
and breathe over the past, and wash
away all that 1 tremble to remem
ber, all the follies and failures of past
years. Inspire me through Thy
Spirit, with courage, that I may do
my work and live my life for Thee
and by Thee, whether men praise or
blame. And make me Thou Christ
of Love, a victor in the battle, a
conqueror in the strife, a child of
Thine, having but one allegiance and
one desire, but one end and one pur
pose, that I may love Thee as Thou
hast loved me, and my neighbor as
myself. And may Thy love so work
in me and by me that the world may
profit by my life and the hearts be
drawn to Thee.
Lord, many there be that try to
show they are Thy people by show
