Harmonious to the ear;
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.

To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.

Oh let that grace inspire
My soul with strength divine.
May all my prayers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine."

_Dr. Doddridge._

without hearing the word mentioned. You seldom read any part of the
New Testament, especially the Epistles, without meeting the word.

There is probably not a word in the language so little understood.
There are a great many who have received the grace of God into their

worthiness when we ask them to come to Christ. When the truth dawns
upon them that Christ came to save the unworthy, then they will
accept salvation. Peter calls God "the God of all grace."

Men talk about grace, but, as a rule, they know very little about
it. Let a business man go to one of your bankers to borrow a few
hundred dollars for sixty or ni
