Holiness Takes Time.

There is n deep truth beneath the line
Of the familiar hymn which counsels Us
to Take time to be holy" 4 holy life
is the result Of deliberate effort ant
ceaseless Watching. 1t does not come in
to maturity unless we take time for its
culture. 1t is in this very sphere of the
religious life, that the modern business
stress invadeS with such disaster. We
are busy, and we simply do not take
time to be holy. 1t takes more real
strength to pray than it does to perform
physical toll. The reason why people dc
not pray when they are tired is because
they cannot: their strength is exhausted
1t takes vital force to study the Bible
and to reflect on religious themes. Anc
yet this is generally reserved to tn,
close of the day, when we are too much
exhausted for the task. And so it soor
falls into disuse. We may as well recog
nize, therefore, at the beginning that i
takes strength and time to attain holy
life. It is A. matter of downright and
persistent earnestness. It is true that |,
holy life is the result also of:relationshir
and OF absorption. Both the active
struggle and the passive, receptive MOOD
are necessary. 1t is the first of thes,
that we tend most to neglect. But we
must arouse ourselves; holiness mean:
struggle; holiness takes time.
