ere long in His triumph and glory we shall triumph and
glory.

"And if children then heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with
Christ; if so be we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified
together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are
not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in
us" (Rom. viii:17-18).

A Vision of the King.

ONE of the most blessed occupations for the believer is the
prayerful searching of God's holy Word to discover there new glories
and fresh beauties of Him, who is altogether lovely. Shall we ever
find out all which the written Word reveals of Himself and His
worthiness? This wonderful theme can never be exhausted. The heart
which is devoted to Him and longs through the presence and
indwelling of the Holy Spirit to be closer to the Lord, to hear and
know more of Himself, will always find something new and precious.
The Holy Spirit can do this and reveals to our hearts from the
inexhaustible Word of God the Glory of Him, whom to exalt the Spirit
has come. Much depends on how we desire just Himself. And Christ
alone and the heart knowledge of Himself can satisfy the believer,
who has His life and is one Spirit with the Lord

"O Christ Thou art enough
The heart to satisfy."

Soon we shall see Him, whom we contemplate now in faith. Soon we
shall be in His own glorious presence and look upon that face, which
was once marred and smitten, but which now shines out Heaven's and
the Father's Glory.

The kingly Glory of our blessed Lord is one of the great themes of
the Bible. The Man of humiliation, who here on earth walked in
dependence on God, who did His will, suffered and died is now in the
Father's presence and on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
There He sat down with His Father in His throne, waiting for the
moment when His work as the Priest and Advocate of His beloved
people on earth is accomplished, and when the Father will establish
Him as King, when He will receive the kingdom. Alas! that all this
glory, which belongs to Him and which is still future, His Kingship,
His kingly glory and rule, as it must be some day, is so unknown and
even disowned in Christendom. It is but the uncovering of the
condition of the heart of the great majority of professing
Christians. They may talk of religion, of great reform movements, of
service to mankind, world progress, but the Christ of God in all His
Glory, past, present and future, ha
