Some hearts, like some houses, always seem to have room for one more. This is where human hearts show their touch of heavenly infinity; they are like the skies, with no end to their outreaching. Peter saw this, and wrote in his second letter about our becoming "partakers of the divine nature," by adding love to love,—as he puts it, adding to your brotherly kindness love. That may mean adding to our love of brethren the love of others also, or it may mean adding to our love of the brethren more love of the brethren. Love is so much partaker of the divine nature that it can ever stretch out about more people, or more aboundingly proceed towards the same people. It is ever inventing new telescopes which add new stars to its charts, and which make the old stars shine out in brighter magnitude.—The Sunday School Times.

More and more the moral conflict of the ages is concentrating around the person of Jesus of Nazareth. More and more it is becoming clear that the only tenable explanation of that unique person is the admission that he knew more about his own origin and nature than his contemporaries or subsequent critics, and that his words concerning himself are true. Jesus, who so persistently called himself the Son of man, is the ultimate ground of religious certainty because he was at the same time the Son of God, and because he spoke truly when he affirmed of himself: "To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth."

Rev. Philip A. Nordell, D.D. The Watchman.
