PRIZING THE CROSS.
If thou impatient do let lip thy cross. Thou wilt not find it in this world again; Nor in another; here and here alone Is given thee* to suffer for God’s sake. In other words we may more perfecth Love Him and serve Him, praise Him, Grow nearer and nearer to Him with delight.. But then we shall not any more Be called to suffer, which is our appointment here. Can'st thou not suffer, then, one hour or two? If lie would call thee from thy cross to-day, Saving: “It is finished, that hard cross of thine from which thou prayest for deliverance. " I hinkest thou not some passion of regret Would overcome thee.*' Thou would st say. “So soon ? Let me go back and suffer yet awhile More patiently. 1 have not vet praised God." Whensoe’er it comes, that summons that we look for. It will seem soon, too soon. Let us take heed in time I hat God may now be Horified in us. —l’roin Lgo Basi’s S«rmon.
