But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33.

'Tis a wondrous promise full of grace; A promise which we should embrace; "A hundredfold of joys untold While in this present world."

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, but he shall receive an hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. Mark 10:29, 30.
