At the foot of Beverly hill there is a
siding-a long siding. once used as
sort Of cutoff to the upper Hanes-
Vile yards. This side track parallels
the main track for half mile, and on
this siding Ben. as soon as he saw the

that 1t lay beside the passenger train

clares the character Of such q
man; IL testifies TO the perma
neney Of his life work; it gives
assurance OF the abiding influ

lives of others.
Let us consider these points.

title and the garb OF outward
seeming. The right TO the title,

tested by what man is and
does Not every one that saith.
Lord. Lord" is entitled to the
name and livery of Servant of
the Most High" The true serv.
ant is one with his master in
purpose and desire. He studies
to know and do the will of his
master. He delights to be like
his master and to be identified
with him. How perfectly was
this expressed in the life of
Jesus. AS servant of God he
lived the God life on earth. The
life Of God flowed through him
just as he would have it flow
through US. The true servant
is the branch which abides in
the vine and obtains it's life
therefrom.
And now as to what the ser

servant is no servant at all. and
not worthy of the name. But
what may we know of the life
work OF the true servant Of the
Lord? We may know first that
it has helped work out the eter-
nal purposes of God in the
SworId. We may know in the
second place that the measur.
ing rod Of eternity, not that of
tins, must be used to declare
the quantity and quality of the
work. We may know also that
the service rendered on earth
was but the beginning of the
service to be rendered in
Heaven. What an inspiration
in the thought that he who
works and builds with God here
works and builds with God for
eternity.
And then there Is the abiding
influence of the true servant of
God. which goes on and on in
ever widening circles among
men. This thought is expressed
in the declaration concerning
Abel. who offered acceptable
sacrifice to God, that "befng
dead, he yet speaketh." And
from Abel down take the record
of the true servants of the Lord
as set forth in the Word of
God, and who can estimate the
influence which has gone out
from those lives. Though dead.
they continue to speak their
message to the hearts OF men.
Joshua, the servant Of the
Lord. What glorious COM
ment on his life. Servant of the
Lord! May we all strive to be
worthy OF the name and rela-
tionship.
