chosen me-" said Christ, ''but 1 have
chosen you, and ordained you, that We
should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain" May
it be to give you another opportunity
to glOrify his father by bearing fruit,
that you are still here?
1t may be you are waiting to be
perfected. I ought to explain this, be-
cause there is sense in which every
true Christian is perfected the moment
he accepts Christ as his Savior He
is perfected in that he is both justified
and sanctified his sin Is put away, and
by the Holy Spirit he himself is set
apart for God forever. The New Tes-
lament is very clear on this; notice
Paul's words in his epistle to the Co
lossians, for example.
What, then, do we mean by saying
we may be waiting to be perfected
Do we mean the attainment of a state
of sfnlessness this side OF heaven? No :
for if Christian lived to be as old as
Methuselah, would he not still require
to pray, Forgive us our trespasSes as
we forgive those who trespass against
us?" We only mean that perfectness,
in the sense Of a ripeness for the
sickle, which comes in the lives of
some as II a crown of glory had been
vouchsafed to them even before they
passed into the unseen.
And so may it be with some of you.
Though now your pruning, your dig
ging, and perhaps your growing days
are over, yet the quiet but potent rays
of divine grace are accomplishing a
maturity in your experience, so that
your Christian life never will have
been SO attractive as In the hour that
you depart hence. I'VE all do fade as
a leaf, but the fall Of you, We glory
crowned ones, is to be illumined by
the grandeur of an eutumnal sunset.
God bless you, aged brethreni God
bless you, young and old, rich and
poor, saint and sinnerl May you have
a Happy New Year. in the highest
and truest sense. Happy is the peo-
pie whose God is the Lord Accept
him, serve him, wait for him. 1t Is
only as we stand in such relationship
to him that. after employing the psalm
lists question, "And now, Lord. what
wait for?" we can confidently apply
the consolation in his words that fol-
low, MY hope is in thee"

Truer she'll prove than we leave behind.
