In all things we are more than conquerors, through him that hath loved us.—Romans 8:37.

DO I feel that in Christ, and in the promised aid of his Holy Spirit, is my only hope of overcoming the world, and self, and sin? Does the love of Christ animate me, and his sympathy encourage me, and his promise assure me, and his Spirit strengthen and comfort me, so that I faint not in adversity, and endure afflictions, and fight manfully the good fight of faith? Do I feel that I am conquering, and that in the end I shall triumphantly and for ever conquer through the grace of Christ?

There are depths of love in Christ beyond all that we have seen. Therefore dig deep, and labor, and take pains for him, and set by as much time for him as you can. He will be won by labor.—RUTHERFORD.

Deeper than the love of home, or of kindred, or of rest and recreation, or of life itself, is the love of Jesus. His love to us will ever sustain and keep us from falling; and our love to him will constrain us to be faithful to the end, so that at last the crown of life may be ours.—J. HAMILTON.

But fainter than the pole star's ray Before the noon-tide blaze of day, Is all of love that man can know, And all in angels' hearts can glow, Compared, O Lord of hosts, with thine, Unwearied, fathomless, divine!
