[Manna - January 10]
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. James 5:10
THE right path is still the "narrow path" of self -abasement
and self -denial—the path of meekness and
humility: and it will require as much effort and grace
to walk it this year as last, or possibly more; for the
more we grow in grace and knowledge, the stronger
will be the temptations to be boastful, puffed up,
heady, high-minded; and the higher we climb in faith
and hope and love and activity in the Lord's service,
the more the great Adversary will oppose our progress,
and the more his emissaries will slander, backbite,
and generally seek to injure us. Z.'95-3 R1751:3
