Refusing to Take Offense.
our temper be under the rule of the love of Jesus: He cannot alone curb it — He can make us gentle and patient. Let the vow that not an unkdndrMrord of others shall everbeheard fronr'otir lips be laid trustingly at His feet. -Let- the g-entlen^ss that .refuses •
to take offense, that is always readj- to excuse, to think and. hope the best, mark our intercourse with all. Letour life be one of self-sacrifice, always studj-ing- the welfare of others, finding" our highest joy in blessing 1 others. And let us, in studying- the Divine art' of doing" .gxxxl, yield ourselves as obedient Learners to +he guidance of. the Eoly Spirit. By His grace the most commonplace life ca.n ; be transfigured with the brig-htness of a Heaver, !y beauty, as the infinite love of the Divine nature shdnes out through our frail humanity. — Andrew Murray.
