No. 47 ~
A. M.

2 Peter 3:18~ [centered]

"But grow" [centered]
"in grace, and in the kn. [knowledge] of our Lord"
and Savior Jesus Christ"

What a hackneyed topic! How
dull seems such a text as this!

Without a little reflection – of how
small consequence seems such an
injunction? How like a well-enough
remark does it appear often – without
any special force or application!

Yet these are the last words of Peter.
His dying message – the last gleam &
glory of his inspiration left on Earth.
The words are weighty with meaning –.
