E'ome- one has thrown open His cloors to you. The words convey a privilege— you have it now— the privilege of going to Him. No difficulties exist with Him. If you have a will to go, you may go, Ponder this fact : whatever you do, wherever you go, you are neverthe- less among the invited. He invites you— has a place for you— spreads a feast for you. He died upon the cross that you might have this invitation ; and if you would know what that exceeding great cry was with which He gave up the ghost, know that it was this :— " Come unto Me ; it is finished ; thou mayest come ! " " Herein is love ; not that we loved God, but that He loved us." We have not to bring about that love, b; t to recognise it. Peter had a great idea of his own love to Christ. " Tho' all men forsake Thee, yei will not I." But John was content to speak of himself as the beloved of the Lord. He believed in the love that God had toward him. " We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love." " O Lamb of God, I come." ENAMELLED IRON CABMEN'S BADGES, DAB NUMBERS, CAB FARE PLATES. o •. NUMBERS FOR DOOR, & C.
