goodness <strong>and</strong> mercy <strong>and</strong> large blessings of God.<br />

Never should we lose sight of his wondrous love<br />

for the fallen human family. We are under<br />

obligations to God to offer thanksgiving. Whoso<br />

offereth praise glorifieth God. After a special<br />

outpouring of his Holy Spirit, our cheerfulness, our<br />

helpfulness, our joy in the Lord will be increased<br />

by recounting his goodness <strong>and</strong> his wonderful<br />

works to the children of men. This will make the<br />

Christian courageous <strong>and</strong> yet simple <strong>and</strong> trustful as<br />

a little child. Read Matt. 18: 1-6. True humility will<br />

be evidenced by recounting the mercies of God.<br />

Think of his goodness <strong>and</strong> praise his name. The<br />

more we see <strong>and</strong> tell of the love <strong>and</strong> goodness <strong>and</strong><br />

compassion of God, the more will gratitude spring<br />

up in our hearts. This will put a stop to grumbling.<br />

Distrust, censuring, jealousy, <strong>and</strong> evil surmising<br />

are never cherished in a heart that is thankful<br />

because of the mercies of God. True Christian life<br />

is that of higher <strong>and</strong> still higher education.<br />

Christian must grow up to the full stature of men<br />

<strong>and</strong> women in Christ Jesus. This is the character<br />

we must form if we have the wisdom of the Lord<br />

with us.<br />
