Bearing the Cross.

Every one must find the present life one
of dis;ipiine, for a state of probation i'm
plies preparation for ano,hsr life; and with
out this discipline. we must fail to secure
the qualities of chara cter essential to future
happiness. Especially is it true of the
Christian. that he must bear the cross -
While the service of God may be made de-
lighti,il. by cheerful obedience, yet that
service will require self denial and sacrifice,
and no child of God can expect to tread the
Christian read withou: finding the necessity
Of taking up the cross daily. Says writer:
"The Crusaders of old, we are tod, used
to bear a painted cross upon their shoulders;
it is to be feared that many among us take
up crosses which sit Just lightly; things
of ornament. passports to responsibility, a
cheap exchange for struggle we never
made and crown we never strove for. But
let US not deceive ourselves. None ever
vet entered in:o the kingdom OF heaven
without tribu!ation--not perhaps, the tribu-
lation ef FIRE, cross, or resuke, or blasphemT; !;
but tie tribulation of z bowed spirit and o
humble heart; of the flesh crucifad to the
spirit and Of hard conflicts with the power
Of darkness; and, therefore, if Our religion
be Of such pliable or elastic form as to
have cost Us neither pains TO acquire, nor
seff.denial to preserve, or efforts TO advance
nor struggle to maintain holy and undefiled
we may be assured our place among the
ranks of the risen dead will be with that
prodigious multitude who were pure in their
own eyes, and yet were not washed from
their filthiness."
