wheels in it. If you break every wheel,
it is a broken watch and worthless. But
even if only one wheel is broken, the
watch is useless. It cannot fulfill its
purpose. Or if you were hanging over
a precipice by a chain of ten links, the
results would be the same, whether
every link in the chain were smashed
or only
one link. So the Royal law is
a unity. All of us have sinned. And if
we offend in one point we are guilty of
all. So we are more than "little sin
of one sin! How little do we
realize the enormity
of our sin! "But
where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound."
This Royal Law Is a Law of Liberty
(James 2:12)
James has already spoken of the per
fect law of liberty (1:25). This may
have been one of his favorite expres
sions and how very

suggestive this ex

respects is the Royal law a law of lib

perfectly
then we would love the Lord
our God with all our heart, and with
all our soul and with all our mind and
we would love our neighbor as our

Christ said, "A new commandment I
give unto you, That ye love one another;
as I have loved you, that ye also love
one
another"
(John 13:34-35). How
much bondage is there in this kind of
love So if we really loved we would not
be bound by sin. And yet we are bound
by the sin of selfishness, pride, envy,
malice and every
other sin. John says,
"Whosoever hateth his brother is a mur

fully true it is that the law of love is

A Thought for you
Put on the wnole armor of God.

Trying to face life without this armor
we get burned, blinded, bewildered, de

THE COVENANTER HOME
Mr. Paul Robb, a senior in our Sem
inary, preached at the Home on Sab
bath afternoon, February 20. Our Home
folks appreciated the sermon so very
much. It is always a joy to them to
have Paul with them. Thank you, Paul.
Prayer meeting was conducted at the
Home on Wednesday evening, February
23, by Donald McClurkin and Glenn Mc
Farland. How much it means for these
folks to hear our ministers-to-be! The
prayer meeting was splendid.
Once a month we have preaching serv
ice at the Home on Sabbath afternoon,
and prayer meeting on a Wednesday eve
ning. These are for those who are not
able to get to church the shut-ins and
also all those who wish to come in. All
who are able enjoy these services very
much. On other Sabbaths they who are
not able to get out to church must de
pend upon their radios for sermons.
The Troy Hill Girl Scout Troop under
the direction of Mrs.
Walleck enter
tained the members of the Home with
a musical program and readings on Val
entine's Day, February 14.
They had
made red hearts and filled them with
cookies, and candies and a little packet
of sachet for each member. The folks
thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment
put on by these young girls.
Everyone at the Home is in his or her
usual health with the exception of Miss
Janet Barclay who is in the hospital un
der observation.
Again, we ask the church to pray for
the Home, its workers, members, and
the Board. We ask especially for prayers
for the Building Committee that they
will be directed in their work, and that
the church and friends will be moved by
His Spirit "to give till they
toward this necessary and worthy phase
of His work.
