For us, we may learn that our best, our very best, even ourselves, is the gift we are called upon to give. Shall we consecrate whatever we have, whatever we are, to the service of our Lord—now?

"FOR MY KING."
JUST to shine for Jesus
Every day—
Just to sing his praises
On my way;
Just to gather jewels
By his aid,
To go onward ever
Not afraid;
Just to drop a love word
As I go,
Just to cheer a lone heart
In its woe;
Just to smile for Jesus,
On my way—
To work and speak for Jesus
When I may;
Just to shine for Jesus
Everywhere,
This, O Blessed Saviour!
Is my prayer.
