To bring to our quest for God only lazy, slipshod Ways of thinking is dishonouring to IHim,- and in ourselves it is withering to mind and heart. Tire- greatest spiritual need is to have clear and worthy conceptions of God and His ways. People. who love and trust and obey God. are those who see in their conception of God those qualities that are creative of love and trust and loyalty.., The task of the church is to give them such a conception. God wants elms best. He'll not forget the feeblest service, humblest love. He only, asks that of our store, we give to Him the best we hare. Christ gives the best,. -He takes the hearts we offer, and fills therm with. His glorious beauty, joy and peace. 1u .Jesus we receive the best we have. And le our best too much? 0 friends, let us remember how" once our Lord poured out His soul for us, and in the prime of- I -lis- mysterious manhood, gave' up His precious lite .upon the cross. The .Lord of Lords, by whom the worlds were made, through bitter griefs and tears, gave us the best He Mary O'Sullivan, all of London, had.
