THE GOLDEN LAMP; OR, Truth in Love FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD. I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: HE THAT FOLLOWETH ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT SHALL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE." John viii. 12.

THE GOLDEN LAMP. "This same Jesus "THIS SAME JESUS." shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven."-Acrs i. 11. AT the opening of another year we would recall to our readers' attention the scene on the Mount of Olives on the memorable fortieth day after the resurrection of our Lord. With the faithful few of His disciples around Him He stood there as the One greater than Elijah, who was about to ascend to heaven and to leave them, as Elijah did Elisha, with a promise of a double measure of His Spirit, for had He not said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father?" While they beheld He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight; and as they continued gazing up into heaven, two white-robed messengers were sent with another gracious promise, to allay the grief of their burdened hearts. To understand the full force of the angels' message we must seek to enter into the position of the disciples, and as we do so, these precious words will thrill our hearts, even as theirs were thrilled, so that they went back to the city "with great joy," and continued "praising and blessing God."
