THE "PLACE FOR GOLD WHERE THEY FINE IT."

Job xxviii. 1.

"The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it."—1 Thess. v. 23, 24.

Lord, I would be nigh Thee,
Looking in Thy face,
Listening for Thy whisper,
Feeling Thine embrace.
From all other refuge
To Thine arms I flee;
Body, soul, and spirit,
Consecrate to Thee.

Lord, I would be like Thee;
I would walk in white,
Choose the thing Thou lovest,
Serving in Thy sight.
Blood is on the altar,
Incense mounts for me;
Body, soul, and spirit,
Consecrate to Thee.
