"Tell Them That God Is Love."
SUCH was the message of the late Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen, as he was dying, to the students of the college over which he presided. When asked if he had any word of counsel or advice for them, his earnest and touching reply was, "Tell them that God is love." So rich and glorious and attractive did the love of God appear to him, as to fill the field of his spiritual vision. With more than the fresh feeling of the young convert, who thinks he has only to tell the impenitent his own views and experience to win them at once to the Savior, so he seemed to feel that if he could but tell these young men of the love of God, and they could but see it as he did, they would be won to devote themselves forever in love to him aud his service. If there is any message that will touch and soften and melt the heart, it is the love of God in Christ Jesus to us sinners; that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him156should not perish but have everlasting life." If we ever "love him," it is "because he first loved us." Spread the blessed tidings that "God is love." Proclaim it earnestly, affectionately, continually, to every creature, by word, by the tract, by the printed volume; and pray for the Holy Spirit to attend the message.—Sel.
