THE LOVE OF GOD.

By Kathrina B. Wilcox

NEVER, upon this sinful earth, can we fully appreciate the boundlessness of God's love toward us. The dewy freshness of the green grasses, the sweet warblings of the wild birds in the leafy trees, the cooing of the doves, the fragrance of the blooming flowers, the opening buds, the murmuring of the pines, the merry song of the babbling brooklets, the tinkling of the sparkling fountains, the gentle kiss of the evening zephyrs, the glorious majesty of the shining sun, the quiet stillness of the starlit sky, the soft radiance of the silver moonbeams, all tell of the love of God to us. All Nature rejoices in the wonderful wisdom works of her Creator. The love of God and Christ toward us is as incomprehensible as the innumerable number of starry gems that glitter in the azure blue, and as far-reaching as the space about us are its unfathomable depths. Eternity itself can never reveal it in its fulness. "Yea," says God, "I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee." KATHRINA B. WILCOX.
