fear certainly ne was no less capable Of being inu-
enced by the less serve feeling OF hope III read tho
Scriptures Alright find IL intimated that oven Christ
Jesus was sustained the glorious work to which He
gave Himself by the prospect Of the JOY that was set be-
Tore Him. The reward as presented here IS heavenly
There are rewards that wait upon poty In time Ihere
Is no man who has forsaken home and brethren ior
My sake but shall receive in the present tlme
an hundred-foId and in the world to come
life eternal Earthly rewards come not with unmixed
bliss. That hundred fold is with persecution, but the
blessing OF the reward in yonder world is as unmxed
as the water Of the river OF life which, clear a. crystal
flows from the throne OF God and the bcssedncss OF That
world is exhaustees for there shall in nowise enter
into anything that denlcth and God shall wipe away
all tears and there shall be death nor SORROW
nor crime nor pain for they all passed away inc
In the time to come they are certain.
They that be wise shall shine as the brightness OF

ustra0n In regard TO the doom OF the finally mpeni-
tent There are degrees in the punishments OF the
Lord and this doctrine OF degrees which speaks OF the
awards OF glory and the punishment OF the finally inn
Pentent IS one that commends itself 10 US.
THE SENSE or EQUITY
In us fully indorses this doctrine
The reward spoken OF in the text Is the reward In
time FAITHFUL TO the ordeas through which they
TO be called 70 pass they would have increasing great
reward In heaven There few things pertaining TO
the reward upon which wish fix your special aten-
ton First the principle upon which II is administered
II is that OF grace and not OF debt and is absolutely
contingent on the consequences of transgresson Tho
wages OF sin is death; the gift Of God is eternal life.
Eternal life is gift 20 individuals who
anything else but Improbable servants. Death is
wages-that which has been earned. You say nothing
greater contrast than these two positions;
and yet there is very marked similarity, and that is
that sin is the
MEASURE DEATH
and fidelity the OF the eternal life Mark, now
both in equal proportons-the death to the sin,
the eternal life 10 the fidelity. The next point Is the
conditions by which is be secured these faith
and the obedience of faith. Mark, don't say works
want in all that say to have you understand that re-
gard vital the believing simple faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ fixes the question whether you shall be on the
right hand the left hand OF the Judge The laws which
OBEDIENCE TO FAITH
follow are threefold Suffering first; second, doing;
third giving. Now, mark carefully the laws
which control the estimate of fidelity The first is
equal fidelity secures equal reward. Second, unequal
fidelity TO equal opportunities will be attended with un
equal rewards The last thought is Christs injunction
TO the disciples Rejocc and be exceeding glad" Tho
knowledge that have reward increasing on high is to
be the basis of my joy
