1913—OUR YEAR’S TEXT—1913

We have gotten out a motto card bearing this year’s text, with a pretty design of grapes, the cup and the loaf, and with our text, “What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and will call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Most high.”

We believe that nearly all of our readers will want one or two copies of this motto for their own use. Some will want a copy in each room. We suggest that so far as possible, Classes order these together, thus saving packing and carrying charges. The price singly will be 5c., by the dozen 30c., postpaid.

BROTHER RUSSELL’S MORNING RESOLVE

—————

MY EARLIEST THOUGHT I DESIRE SHALL BE:

“What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord [for grace to help]. I will pay my Vows unto the Most High.”—Psa. 116:12-14

Remembering the Divine call, “Gather My saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice” (Psa. 50:5), I resolve that by the Lord’s assisting grace I will today, as a saint of God, fulfil my Vows, continuing the work of sacrificing the flesh and its interests, that I may attain unto the Heavenly inheritance in joint-heirship with my Redeemer.

I will strive to be simple and sincere toward all.

I will seek not to please and honor self, but the Lord.

I will be careful to honor the Lord with my lips, that my words may be unctuous and blessed to all.

I will seek to be faithful to the Lord, the Truth, the brethren and all with whom I have to do, not only in great matters, but also in the little things of life.

Trusting myself to Divine care and the Providential overruling of all my interests for my highest welfare, I will seek not only to be pure in heart, but to repel all anxiety, all discontent, all discouragement.

I will neither murmur nor repine at what the Lord’s providence may permit, because

“Faith can firmly trust Him,
Come what may.”
