HATH A little word of but four letters— hath— which signifies present possession. Well, theD, rejoice all along the way, from the cross to the glory, and whatever the circumstances lying between. God's " hath " is like the sun to the believer— it always shmes Clouds come and go, but the sun ever shines. God's " hath lights the dark mind, heats the cold, frozen heart. Do not, like the earth, turn but one side to this sun ; let it fill and gladden you. Century has succeeded century ; kingdoms and empires have risen on the ruins of others, flourished for a time, and are gone ; th « earth's mighty heroes have been laid low in the dust of death ; but through all human changes the Word of God has remained immutable, unchangeable, a rock amidst the storms and strifes of this world. Here are seven precious, unbreakable jewels. After you have examined these you will find your • way to oihers in God's treasure- house. . First— Jehovah " hath hid on Him the iniquity of us all. — Isa. I111. 6. Second God hath reconciled us to Himself."— 2 Cor. v. 18. Third- The Father •' hath made us nuet, to be partakers of the saints in light. - Col. l. 12. Fourth— God " hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. - Heb. x. 14. Fifth- God " hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings."— Eph. l. 3. Sixth— Christ hath redeemed us."— Gal. iii. 13. Seventh— Christ " hath made us kings and priests unto Gcd."— Rev. i. 6. . „ _ x .. , , , This glorious position is the starting- point of all, and not the goal of our hopes nor the prize at the end. However feebly we may be clinging to Jesus, however we; may realise our unworthiness, imperfection within and unceasing failure without— yet this sun shines, this word abides. " By one offering He hath perfected for evt r them that are sanctified." The Blood of Christ is our only title to glory, and that was shed on Calvary. When " He had by Himself purged our sins, then " He sat down at the Right Hand of the Majesty on High. " It is finished." FBOSTI FROST I PREVENT COLD AND COUGHS!
