And thinking thus, my aching heart 
Revived again, and felt at rest; 
It gave me strength to do my part, 
Reeling “God knoweth what is best! 
—Henry Coyle.

ceptible of a high polish, and is used in jewelry, and when highly colored is

All in God, with God, and for God!—“God Alone!” 
“With two wings a man is lifted up above earthly things: that is, with 
Simplicity and Purity.' Simplicity must be in the intention, Purity in the affec¬ 
tion. Simplicity aims at God, Purity takes hold of Hinu and tastes Him.” 
—Thomas a Kempis. 
TTMONGST men is it considered an honor to labor only for kings, and 
J-±- we ought to look upon it as an honor to labor only for God. We are 
too great to labor for the world; the ivorld will pass , and we shall never pass 
away. We are children of God; nay, we are even of the very same race as 
God (Acts xvii. 28), the friends, the confidants, the favorites of God; and 
being in so lofty a position, we ought not to lower ourselves to act for an 
end which is below God. Our vocation is to imitate God, to act in God, 
with God , and for God. How, God proposes Himself alone as the end of all 
that He does. Our glory is to remain at this height, and not to descend to 
the little and low aims of the creature. What a shame it is for us to de¬ 
grade ourselves when our destination is so sublime! Let us henceforth 
have more pride, and let us do nothing except for God.
