TREASURE.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.—Proverbs, x. 2.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven:

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.—Matthew, vi. 19, 20, 21.

He is a path, if any be misled;

He is a robe, if any naked be;

If any chance to hunger, He is bread;

If any be a bondman, He is free;
