Lesson XIII. -_Response to, God's Love, Phil. - 3:7-14. - Golden Text, Psalms' 86: 12. The lessons of the past quarter have dwelt upon ,the highest subjects of human thought -God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, human nature, sin, grace, repentance, faith, obedience, prayer' and love. What have we learned of all these, and what have we made ourl own permanent possession to enrich mind and heart? Our opportunity 1 has been great; have we ptfited by •t� it Three great outstanding facts we' have ,learned: (1) That God is - our, Father in heaven, loving His children, ' even the erring and lost ones' with a father's changeless love; (2)" That -the gracious love • off: God in Jesus Christ and through His ,Spirit has entered into the world to redeem. re • " generate and save; and (3) That our of response to God's work of love in h Jesus Christ is.in `sincere repentance, g faith, - doing God's will, prayer, and t. above alt- love, love both to God and m _ ..1 Lord. It is (2) to follow Christ the way of faith,'doing our appoint task as a service rendered to G DOMINION DAY, 1919.
