We then, as workers together with him, beseech you, also, that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.— 2 Corinthians 6:1.

HAVE I indeed received the grace of God in my soul? And knowing its infinite value, as a worker together with God do I labor for the good of others around me, endeavoring to lead them to a Christian life? Am I earnest, diligent, patient, pray- erful in the work God has given me to do, improving the present to the utmost, because the future is not sure? Do I expect as well as pray for a blessing on every effort to do good?

If you would have great grace, undertake great things for Christ.—PAYSON.

Blessed are they who shall see the day of Christ's coming glory; but more blessed are they who con- tribute to its approach.—SECKER.

Every day is a golden opportunity which the Father of mercies has put into our hands for moral and relig- ious purposes, that we may ourselves be advancing in the divine life, and doing good to others.—BRUCE.

O Christ! thou art my king,

My king, henceforth, alone;

My heart, my life, to thee I bring,

For I am all thine own.

Let this my joy, my life, my life-work be,

To die to self, to live my Lord, to thee!
