We know that the atmosphere which envelops the earth is the great agency through which conditions suited to natural life and its development are maintained on the earth. Without it life, as we know it, would be impossible. In this there is a spiritual lesson for us. That divine life, which we have through new birth, can alone flourish in the atmosphere suited to it. Are we careful to keep ourselves in that moral and spiritual environment from which we may extract the elements which conduce to growth in the mind and spirit of Christ? "Abide in Him." "Keep yourselves in the love of God." "Walk in the Spirit."
