Suffering Persecution.
No man gets through life without
having a pommeling Some slander
comes after you. horned and husked
and hoofed, to gore and trample you.
And what are you to do? l tell you
plainly that all who serve Christ must
suffer persecution. 1t is the worst
to say, II have not an enemy in the
world" A woe is pronounced in the
Bible against the one of whom every
body speaks we'll. II you are at peace
with all the world and everybody likes
you and approves your work, 1t Is be-
cause you are an idler in the Lords
vineyard and are not doing your duty.
All those who have served Christ, how
ever eminent. all have been maltreated
at some stage of their experience. You
know it was SO in the time of George
Whitefleld. when he stood and invited
men into the kingdom of God What
did the learned DR.. Johnson say OF
him? He pronounced him a miser-
able mountebank. How was it when
Robert Hall stood and spoke as scarce
ly any uninspired man ever did speak
of the glories of heaven? And as he
stood Sabbath after Sabbath preaching
on these themes his face kindled with
the glory. John Foster, a Christian
man, said of this man: Robert Hall is
only acting, and the smile on his face
is a reflection of his own vanity"
John Wesley turned all England up
side down with Christian reform, and
yet the punsters were after him, and
the meanest jokes in England were
perpetrated about John Wesley. What
is true of the pulpit is true of the pew;
it is true of the street; it is true of
the shop and the store. All who will
live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer
persecution. And l set it down as
the very worst sign in all your Chris
tian experience if you are, any of you,
at peace with all the world. The re-
ligion Of Christ is war. 1t is a chal-
enge to the world the flesh and the
devil" and if you will buckle on the
whole armor of God you will find
great host dsputing your path between
this and heaven.

mother ever threw her arms around

1t is often that our friends have no
