The below article is a separate issue of Help and Food.

'Christ is everything, and all" (Col. 3:11.)

"NONE OF SELF, AND ALL OF THEE" "Oh, the bitter pain and sorrow
That a time could ever be,
When I proudly said to Jesus,
'All of self and none of Thee.'

"Yet He found me; I beheld Him
Bleeding on th' accursed tree,
And my wistful heart said faintly,
'Some of self, and some of Thee.'

"Day by day His tender mercy,
Healing, helping, full and free,
Brought me lower, while
I whispered, Less of self and more of Thee.'

"Higher than the highest heaven,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last has conquered
'None of self, and all of Thee'."

"Lastly, I gratefully declare my personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, my beloved Saviour, whose I am for time and eternity; to whose infinite grace alone I owe my all. I most affectionately press upon my beloved children to make the Lord their chief object, to live in love and peace, and to serve Him."
