To get nearer to Christ in mind and heart and life ; to know Him better, to love Him more sincerely, and to obey Him more implicitly. 2. To conquer the sins of selfishness, indiffer- ence and worldliness, which, in one shape or another, are the special enemies of the spiritual life. "The means to toe employed: The study of the Scriptures, public worship, private prayer, systematic fasting and giving, withdrawal from the world, and increased activity in the service of Christ. •'Suggestions as to their use: 1. Be present as far as possible at every ser- vice. 2. Take part earnestly in the worship with both heart and voice. 3. Give more time and care to daily private prayer. 4. ' Search the Scriptures ' with increased dili- gence. 5. Exercise real self-denial in meat and drink. 6. Abstain entirely from all ordinary social amusements and gayeties. 7. Abandon all light reading that you may study God's Word. 8. Find out your besetting sins and struggle against them. 9. Let no day pass without an earnest effort to contribute to the comfort or happiness of the sick or sorrowing, the poor or neglected. 10. Make it a point to give something, accord- ing to your means, whenever the alms and offerings are collected. 11. If any have wronged you, forgive them for Christ's sake, and seek reconciliation. 12. If you have wronged any one, confess your fault to God, and to him, and make such reparation or restitution as is in your power 13. Try to be unusually kind and helpful to all about you ; and thoughtful and appreciative of all who may render you service ; espe- cially in your own home. 14. Make definite rules for your guidance during Lent, but do not bind yourself to them by any stringent vows, lest they become irksome, and you keep them for the sake of the prom- ise rather than for Jesus' sake; keep your Christian liberty, that each act of self-denial maybe offered as twilling sacrifice to 'Him who loved us and gave Himself for us.' '* Presented by The Daughters of the King, ^ Emmanuel Chapter, ^ 1 " For His Sake." 15* i " Lord, i3 Whom sliailV/e Go?" HEX wounded sore the stricken heart Lies bleeding and unbound, One only Hand, a pierced Hand, Can salve the sinner's wound. "When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only Heart, a broken Heart, Can feel the sinner's woe. When penitence in vain has wept Over some foul dark spot. One only Stream, a Stream of Blood, Can wash away the blot. 'Tis Jesus' Blood that washes white, His Hand that brings relief, His Heart that's touched with all our joys, And feels for all our grief. L'ft up Thy bleeding Hand, O Lord, Unseal that cleansing tide ; "We have no shelter from our sin But in Thy wounded side. * (fz^_ RANT, we beseech Thee, merciful Lord, to Thy %cJ{ faithful people pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all their sins, and serve Thee with a quiet mind ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. * . IJysORD, we beseech Thee, grant Thy people grace to /I A" withstand the temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, and with pure hearts and minds to follow Thee, the only God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. * A UNIVERSITY OF N.C. AT CHAPEL HILL 00034020764 "TOR USE ONLY IN THE NORTH CAROLINA COLLECTION
