BEGINNING THE DAY
(Supplied by the Council of Christian Congregations.) Text.—Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsover things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things ar® of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.—Philippians, 4: 8. Verse.-*^ As some rare perfume In a vase of clay _ Pervades it with a fragrance not its own. So, when Thou dwellest in a mortal soul, All heaven's own sweetness seems around it thrown. < Prayer.—We thank Thee, our God and Father, for those things which, though not seen, are vet eternal, ror all the strength of faith, all the beauty of hope and all the tenderness of love. Whatever problems may perplex us, whatever temptations assail us, ffr. a f j that our spirit may not suffer any wilful turning away from Thee. May the vicissitudes of our life's experience exercise us in those virtues that' are perfectly revealed in Christ, and thus may we grow in the grace and knowledge or Him who is our Redeemer. Amen.
