OLD Bro. R. had been talking to the children a little before the regular lesson began, and as I came into the room I heard him say, “You see it is not our love to God.” “No, sir,” answered Grace, “We love Him because He first loved us.” How happy it made me to hear the dear girl say that She had never openly confessed Christ, but I felt sure that she included herself in that “We,” who have learned something of His love. “His great love wherewith He loved us.” Eph. 2:4. “His everlasting love.” Jer. 31:3. Love that was stronger than death—love that many waters could not quench. Do you know that love that “passeth knowledge?” Eph. 3:19. E. G. B.
