ing with eternal jubilee. Chorus! Unto
him that loved us and washed us from I
our sins in his own blood. and made us S
kings and priests unto God, to HIM be
glory.
All! there is one word Of five letter I
that would like to write; but | nave no s
sheet fair enough to write it on. and no
pencil good enough to inscribe it. Give
me sheet from the heavenly records,
and some pencil used by an gels i'll des~
cribing Il victory and then with hand
struck with supernatural energy, and
with pencil dipped in everlasting morn
ing, will write IL out in capitals OF love:
Jesus, Jesus! 1t is this One that is
waiting for you and for me, for we are
on the same platform before God. How
long he waited for me! How long he has
waited for you! Waiting as q banquctcr
waits for his delayed guests, the meats
smoking, and the bcakcrs trimming, and
the minstrel with his finger on the string
ready to strike at the first clash of the |
hools at the gateway. Waiting as a
mother waits for a boy that ten years |
ago went of dragging her bleeding
heart after him. Waiting. Oh, can you
not civc me some comparison intense
enough, importunatc enough high as
heaven, deed as hell, and vast as cter-
nifty? Not expecting that you can help
me with such comparison, simply say
he is waiting only as an all-sympathetic
Christ knows how the wait for wander
ing soul.
Bow the knees and kiss the Son,
Come and welcome, sinner, come.
But remark again, not molly Christ is
waiting, but the Holy Spirit is waiting.
