touched upon the history of the En

it as be wore it, and do the work be

The subject assigned( Mrs G;onzales,

was, ''llow can we know Him ?" This
was introduced by a reference to a
friend whom the speaker had known
and loved yet had never seen. The
messages. the gifts exchanged, the face
known and loved from the likeness,
so with knowing Christ. If we are to
I know him we must send him measages
as he sends them to us. We read them
in his word, we know of His life, we
see His face, we know his love. It is
not by the mnuch reading hfr sometimes
a clause is food enough for the day.
It is our meditation amd prayer over
what we read that gives us strength.

, We must show the same things He
d showed, liberty, compassion, tender
