. "Ask, seek, knock.'' One has said,
"Ask with the humility of a beggar, seek

In John xiv., 13, 14; xv., 7; Mark xl.. 24;
"seek," Prov. it., 4; viil., 17, U. V.j Jer.
xxix., 18; "knock." Col. ii., 3; John vi.; 37,
Ibiv. Iil., 20. We are apt to think of asking

When wa live uprightly unto Him, we tnay

11, l'J. "If a son shall ask bread of any of
you that Is a father." No parout would ever
give a st 0110 for bread, or a serpent for a fish;
or n scorpion for an egg. or riuythln;r to
barm his child instead of something good.
If a man will gratify his friend at the cOst of

Iron, ihe thought running ail through tho
lesson seems to be that of "Our Father" nnd
His obildreu. Others niav have to ask and

more shall your heavenly Father give tho
Holy Spirit ta them that ask Him?" This
confirms what I said on the last verse, that

freedom from self care and a whole heart
for His kiudoiu Is to bu tilled with His
ftidrlt, which, by comparing this verse with
Matu. vil., 11, you will see to be the sum
and substance of all good things. If tilled
with the Spirit (Eph. v., 18), the life will lie
right, thoughts, words and notions all sub
loot to Him, self-subdued, the whole being
for Ood, Christ magnified in our bodies and
a sample of the reign ot Christ seen In our
