PROMISE FOR FEBRUARY 24TH

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9

THOSE who are thinking on the true and lovely and good and beautiful things will speak to each other of the same; hence the importance of having our hearts filled with good things, in order that out of the abundance of the good things of our hearts our mouths may speak continually....Such have a very precious promise, well worthy of their efforts--"They shall be called the children of God"--they have God's spirit, the likeness of His dear Son has been traced in their hearts....Moreover, this is a test which we may well recognize for ourselves particularly, and to some extent for each other, as evidencing the degree of our growth as children of God--our peaceable dispositions, and our carefulness to pursue such a course in life as will tend toward peace. R. 2888, c.1, p.4-5.
