ion, there will be a life
day by day of blessed fellowship with Him, and you will feel a necessity
ever deeper for your quiet time with Him, and for worshiping and adoring
Him, and for just sinking down before Him in helplessness and humility, and
saying: "Jesus, I am nothing, and Thou art all." It will be a blessed life,
because you will be conscious of being at the feet of Jesus. At this moment
you can claim Jesus in His divine humility as the life of your soul. Will
you? Will you not open your heart, and say: "Come in; come in?"

Come to-day, and take Him up afresh in this blessed power of His wonderful
humility, and say to Him: "Oh, Thou who didst say, 'Learn of me, for I am
meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls,' my Lord,
I know why it is that I have not the perfect life; it is my pride, but
to-day, come Thou and dwell in my heart. Thou who didst lead even Peter and
John into the blessedness of Thy heavenly humility; Thou wilt not refuse
me. Lord, here I am; do Thou, who by Thy wonderful humility alone canst
save, come in. O Lamb of God, I believe in Thee; take possession of my
heart, and dwell in me." When you have said that, go out in quiet, and
retire, walking gently as holding the Lamb of God in your heart, and say:
"I have received the Lamb of God; He makes my heart His care; He breathes
His humility and dependence on God in me, and so brings me to God. His
humility is my life and salvation."

THE COMPLETE SURRENDER.

hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. And the Lord
was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of
his master, the Egyptian, and his master saw that the Lord was with him_.

We have in this passage an object lesson which teaches us what Christ is to
us. Note: Joseph was a slave, but God was with him so distinctly that his
master could see it. "And his master saw the Lord was with him, and that
the Lord made all that he did prosper in his hands; and Joseph found grace
in his sight, and he served him,"--that is to say, he was his slave about
his person,--"and he made him overseer over his house,"--that was something
new. Joseph had been a slave, but now he becomes a master. "And he made him
overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hands. And it
