and let, in the deep silence of trust, God's words sink
into your heart--'Your Holy One.' Come to Himself and claim Him as your
God, and claim all that He, as the Holy One who makes holy, can do for
you. Just remember that Holiness is Himself. Come to _Him_; worship
_Him_; give _Him_ the glory. Seek not, even from Him, holiness in
yourself; let self be abased, and be content that the Holiness is His.
As _His_ presence fills your heart, as _His_ Holiness and Glory are your
one desire, as _His_ holy Will and Love are your delight,--as the Holy
One becomes all in all to you,--you will be holy with the holiness He
loves to see. And as, to the end, you see nothing to admire in self, and
only Beauty in Him, you will know that He has laid of His glory on you;
and your holiness will be found in the song, There is none holy, but the
Lord.

BE YE HOLY, AS I AM HOLY.

O God! we have again heard the wonderful revelation of Thyself, 'I am
holy.' And as we felt how infinitely exalted above all our conceptions
Thy Holiness is, we heard Thy call, almost still more wonderful, 'Be ye
holy, as I am holy.' And as every thought of how we were to be holy, as
Thou art holy, failed us, we heard Thy voice once again, in this most
wonderful word of all, 'I make you holy.' I am 'your Holy One.'

Most Holy God! we do beseech Thee, give us in some due measure to
realize how unholy we are, and so to take the place that becomes us in
Thy presence. Oh that the sinfulness of our nature, and all that is of
self, may be so discovered to us, that it may be no longer possible to
live in it! May the Light that reveals this, reveal too, how Thy
Holiness is our only hope, our sure refuge, our complete deliverance.
O Lord! speak into our souls the word, 'The Holy One, your Redeemer,'
'Your Holy One,' with such power by Thy Spirit, that our faith may grow
into the assured confidence that we can be holy as Thou art holy.

Holy Lord God! we wait for Thee. Reveal Thyself in power within us, and
fit us to be the messengers of Thy Holiness, to tell Thy people how holy
Thou art, and how holy we must be, and how holy Thou dost make us. Amen.

1. This Holy One is God Almighty. Before He revealed Himself to
Israel as the Holy One, He made Himself known to Abraham as the
Almighty, 'who quickeneth the dead.' In all your dealings with
God for holiness, remember He is the Almighty One, who can do
wonders in you. Say often, 'Glory to Him who
