1917 A DAUGHTER OF GOD 475
mind was given up to doing the things that please him;
therefore they were in a condition to receive of his mird
or life.
And in this day, if we wish to become sons or
daughters of God, we must make conditions that will enable
the angels of God to draw near and impart to us his
holy spirit; that is, we must dwell on God's works, his
purpose in creation, and his methods for carrying out
that purpose, which Brother Butler has so clearly set before
us, and thus ally our mind with the mind of God.
When we have thus become sons and daughters of God,
we shall manifest, in a measure, his love and wisdom,
and we shall then have the blessed privilege of knowing,
as did the Christ, that we do always the things that
please God.
The time is no doubt near at hand when God will need
sons and daughters to help in the establishing of the new
conditions that are promised in the Revelation, after the
breaking up of the old order, which is now taking place.
Let us therefore heed Paul's admonition, "Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Phil.
iv. 8.)
31.161
"Taos shalt he served
Thyself by every sense
Of service which
Thou renderest."
KNOWLEDGE comes
by hard experience, but wisdom
comes by righteous living.-H. E. BUTLER.
