PSALMS 105:4

O JESUS CHRIST, grow Thou in me,

And all things else recede;

My heart be daily nearer Thee,

From sin be daily freed.

Make this poor self grow less and less,

Be Thou my life and aim;

Oh, make me daily, through Thy grace,

More worthy of Thy name.

J. C. LAVATER

AS, on rising, we should hear Him saying to us, "Take this yoke upon
thee, my child, to-day," "Bear this burden for me and with me to-day,"
so, before retiring to rest, and collecting our mind for our evening
prayer, it were well to put these questions to our conscience, "Have I,
in a single instance this day, denied myself either in temper or
appetite, and so submitted myself to the Saviour's yoke?" And again,
"Have I, in a single instance, shown sympathy or con-siderateness for
others, borne with their faults or infirmities of character, given time
or taken trouble to help them, or be of use to them?" If so, I have
gained ground; I have made an advance in the mind of Christ to-day, if
it be only a single step. Let me thank God, and take courage. A single
step is so much clear gain.
