THINGS UNSEEN
ONLY ONE ENDURING VICTORY. “There is not, and never will be. any lasting earthly Paradise. That, you cannot make." asserted Father C. C. Martindale in a recent address. "And it is only if we expect to do that, that we shall be disappointed, perhaps embittered, perhaps give up and lei ourselves degenerate. In any case, we shall have a battle, and a lifelong one—of this lite war now being waged is but the symbol—-as transitory as the years. In one war only is enduring victory assured, of which St. Paul spoke when he cried of himself and his fellowChristinns that they were. ’Bruised, but not broken; dismayed, yet not despairing; hunted, yet not fainting; stoned, yet never slain—-ever bearing about in our very body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that the life too of Jesus may be revealed in this our dying flesh! . . . Therefore play we
not the coward; but even although our outward man be being worn away, yet from day to day our inmost self is being renewed, for the trivia! anguish of lite moment works out for us overwhelmingly an eternal weight of glory: for we look, not on things visible, but on things unseen. The visible endureth but an hour: the unseen is eternal.'"
