        the Saviour in His simplicity and self-denial. Let us lift up the Man
      
      
        of Calvary by word and by holy living. The Saviour comes very near
      
      
        to those who consecrate themselves to God. If ever there was a time
      
      
        when we needed the working of the Spirit of God upon our hearts and
      
      
        lives, it is now. Let us lay hold of this divine power for strength to live
      
      
        a life of holiness and self-surrender
