Grst and count the COST before you
undertake suoh conservation Of your
life, such a sacrifice OF your earthiy In
terests. mo man having put his hand
TO the plow and;looking back would be
ct for the Kingdom ct for a place on
the Throne as a jolnt-heir with Christ
luke *, G2,. They heard the further
expression of st. Paul 10 allwho would
become Joint-heirs with Christ ins his
Kingdom assuring them that f they
suffer with Christ they shall. reign
with him.
Beloved, Let us Cleanse Ourselves
we doubt not that rs the Heavenly
Father and our Lord Jesus 50 loved
the world as to provide the great sac
rlticc for sin, so St. Paul loved the
world-and all others OF Gods people
must have sympathetic love for the
world. But when We think of those
who are dearly beloved by the Father
and by the Son and by the apostles
and by each other, we think Of the
special class of consecrated saints who
Scripturally are described rs Of no
earthly sect or party. but as THE
Church of the FirstDorns whose
names are written In hcaycn."'ss !, Il. 3 (
These are dearly beloveift bAfausc
they have tho mind OF Christ, which
is also. the mind OF the Father, Ac.
cording to the flesh they are not all
lovely or beautiful. st. Paul else.
where admonishes us. that amongst
these dearly beloved are not many
great, not many wise, not many noble.
not many rich. but chiefly the dgppble
and the poor Of this world. Their
riches and their nobility are. not of the
flesh, but of the spirit, OF the heart, Of
the new will, to which they have been
bcgotten of God by the Holy Spirit.
This is surely the Apostles thought.
for, in he,preceding verse, he speaks
of these dearly beloyedgs onesS as
Sons and daughters Of the Lord Chi.
drcn of the Almighty-hence. bcgotten
again Of the Holy Splrit-"news crca.

VI ~. All, how wonderful 1t seems
that there should be such n class as
this in the world yet not separated
from the world, except by their new
Spirit. These are In the. world. but
not Of the world. rs the Master de.
clared. These have died to worldly
aims and objects and have become
alive toward God through the Holy
Spirit and through the quickehins In
fluences of Gods exceeding great and
precious promises given unto them.
Gods purpose respecting them is TINT
they may be transferred from human
MIXTURE to spirit nature-from partici.
patton. with the world In tlieI bless.
ings coming to It TO receive 'instead
the Divine nature. with, the glory.
honor and Immortality attaching
