A Word of Encouragement

L. V.

A few weeks ago I found these words in an old Journal: "The hope of reward is a more subtle sin, than the fear of punishment."

I was very deeply impressed with the truth of this and I have been thinking of it in connection with Jesus' words, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you," and it seems to me that too often the kingdom is sought more for the things that are to be added than for the kingdom alone.

Perhaps some are battling with physical ills and are longing for freedom. They may say they study faithfully the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," but if you observe them closely you will see they read more as if they were taking a dose of medicine, and then look for the effects on the body.
