The Magnanimous Spirit.
If a man cannot escape the ordeal
of Jealousy, It will be best for him to
1 , conceal the feeling;1 he should be mag
nanimous and Just In every reference
to his rival. It Is a great test of
true manllnoss of spirit to discuss the
merits of a rival with fairness, but
If a man can do so, such a course car
rles conviction to the mind of the
woman that he Is one of nature's no
blemen, and this raises him In her re

TFXT-I laving loved hl own which
were In Hie world he loved them unlo the
end. John U:L
With peculiar emphasis this text de
scribes all Christians as "his own."
Believers are the
peculiar property
of the Lord Jesus
Christ in at least
three ways. They
become his b)
gift frcm tho 'Fa
tlicr. In speaking
of them Christ da
scribes them M
those "whom thou
hast given me.
They are also hii
peculiar property
by his own pun
chase, for be
bought them with
his precious tlooJ
on the cross of
Calvary. They belong to him In the
third place by their own surrender to
him. These things are full of assur
ance and of blessing to the believer.
The Father will novcr take back the
girt he has made to the Son. the Son
will never give up that which he has
purchased at such awful cost, ant
that which Is surrendered, be wilt
never allow to be wrested from blm.
Christians are bis own peculiar prop
erty to have and to hold and to love
unto tho end; or, as the Revised Ver
sion has It. "to the uttermost."
As a child bcronr.es the peculiar care
of a homo so the believer becomes the
peculiar care of the Lord. All other
cares take a secondary place. It U
bis care to guird his property. It
sometimes seems as though the Lord
dealt with his own In a hard way. This
Is because the Christian, like the child,
does not understand the "why" of
many things. Many of the seominglr
hard things that come to the Chris
tian may be but the guarding of the)
Lord's property from dangers unseen
but to his eye. A pain, it is the pe
culiar care of the Lord to guide his
own people. He knows what lies along
each pathway and when he seems to
close a path which looks attractive to
one of his own, that one can rest
assured it Is because be sees danger
there or else he sees more blessing
along some other road. The unknown
and untried of the Lord's choosing
are the ones where richest blessing
lies, and bappy the Chr..tlan who aW
lows him to guide the footsteps. Once
more It Is his own peculiar care to
provide for his own. Many are the
ways be has for providing for thom.
Sometimes by natural, sometimes by
unnatural v. ays. as In the case ot Eli
jah at the brook. The ravens were
called to bring meat to the prophet,
and they were sent to feed h'lljah Just
where the Lord told blm to be. Had
he been elsewhore be might have
missed what the Lord had for him.
9o the Christian often misses much
that the Lord has 'or him by being
out of the Lord's pla. See to It that
you are in God's plac& 'or you and he
will see to it, though ne must work
a miracle, that every need ot your
will be supplied.
His Own Peculiar Love.
The peculiar love of the Lord for
his own covers all their shortcomings
nnd their peculiarities. The Lord gra
ciously warned Simon Peter of Ma
coming time of denial, but Teter boairt
ingly said he would lay down his life
before he would leave him even.
When, therefore, Peter so miserably
railed It might seem tl.at the Lord's
love would grow a bit cool. T.ut In
spite of the failure there was no les
sening of love, there was no cooling
of the affection. It was his love that
was In the look that brought Peter
to his repentance. Let no Christian
who may havo failed his Lord think
that the love of Christ has cooled or
been diminished. Ho loves with an
everlasting love that many wators can
not quench Return unto him and It
will be found thnt having loved his
own he loves thom unto the end in
spite of any failures. Again some are
kept away from him because they
seem to be so backward in learning
of him. But he loves In spite of the
backwardness of his disciples. Think
of Philip aftor three years of com
panionship not being able to discern
who he was, but had to be told In
answer to his Inquiry for the Father,
"he that hnth seen me hath seen the
Father." He knows so woll the make
up of the believer that no slowness to
understand can surprise him, much
less make his love grow cold.
He loves his own with a peculiar
love that nothing can cool of turn aside
from Us object.
His own peculiar property, which U
his own peculiar care, is the object of
bis cwn peculiar love.
Even the unbollcf of h!s own Is cot
sufllclcnt to cool tho warmth or lea
sen tho deptb cf his love.
Poor Thomas, tbe doubting one, was
never loved any more truly or more
deeply than In the midst of his refusal
to believe In the resurrection until
he had thrust Ms hand into the wound
prints.
There is nothing that can bring to
an end the love of the Lord tor his
own, for having loved his own be
loves them unlo the end; or, as tho Re
vised Version puis it, "He loves thom
to the uttermost."
We toll for frivolous riches, aa li
we labored for eternal possesions; we
labor for eternal possessions, as If va
toiled for frivolous riches. Masalllon,
