Christ for Us be for thee! Millions of ages of unfoldings of all His love, and of ever new declarings of His Father's name to His brethren. Think of it! And can we ever hesitate to give all our poor little hours to His service?

3. His Hands for thee. Literal hands; literally pierced, when the whole weight of His quivering frame hung from their torn muscles and bared nerves; literally uplifted in parting blessing. Consecrated, priestly hands; filled hands (Ex. xxviii. 41; xxix. 9, etc., margin)—filled once with His great offering, and now with gifts and blessings for thee. Tender hands, touching and healing, lifting and leading with gentlest care. Strong hands, upholding and defending. Open hands, filling with good and satisfying desire (Ps. civ. 28, and cxlv. 16). Faithful hands, restraining and sustaining. His left hand is under my head, and His right hand doth embrace ie 4. His Feet for thee. They were weary very often, they were wounded and bleeding once. They made clear footprints as He went about doing good, and as He went up to Jerusalem to suffer; and these blessed steps of His most holy life, both as substitution and example, were for thee. Our place of waiting and learning, or resting and loving, is at His feet. And still those blessed feet are and shall be for thee, until He comes again to receive us unto

Himself, until and when the word is fulfilled, **They shall walk with me in white.''

5. His Voice for thee. The '"'voice of my beloved
