God Giveth Grace.

By Philadelphia Methodist

To DENY one's self and take up our cross willingly and daily, follow the commandments of God, and walk in His holy ways, require a fixedness of purpose that only those who are sustained by divine grace can endure. The temptations and allurements of the world are very enticing and often promise personal comfort and enjoyment that for the time being involve pleasure and profit. In some cases, fidelity to the dictates of the conscience awakens contempt on the part of others and puts the man of God to great straits, as well as to much disadvantage and loss, but, steady to his purpose, he proceeds on the even tenor of his way, counting it, if need be, better to suffer rather than sacrifice his sense of honor and piety.—Philadelphia Methodist.
