A Rise by Self-Sacrifce.

Enough has been said of the fall

rise by self-sacrifice. To grow this
passion within him were all the sac

weary history. More and more near

until in the s~elf-saerifce of Calvary

self-sacrifice began the life of self
sacrifice in humanity. 1.-THE glory Of

reach it each nan must begin to live

burdens and by this revelation lifted
men slowly to a life of mutual help

victim of Calvary. The future social
organization after that could have
no other light but that of the glory
of God in the slain Lamb.
Enough has been said of holiness

the city of God will be inhabited-if
it is the Holy City-by those who
have met with foes and vanquished
