Z was just that Jesus should suffer.
. HIS compassion for his suffering
creatures made him willing TO suffer
upon the cross But it is not enough
that he should suffer willingly. il
would be unjust that he should suf-
fer il there should never be a COM
| pensatiOn for his pain and sorrow.
But you and 1 are willing TO suffer
il for that suffering We obtain a
sufficient reward.
You have heard the story over and
over Of that American boy. Bill
| Clancy. a Texas boy. that first planted
the American flag upon the top Of
Nimy Ridge in France: also that
other American boy, New Jersey
boy, I think, whose name I cannot
now recall. who went there with the
brave Canadians to the ton Of Vlmv
Ridge but when he got over the top
he fell, mOrtally wounded, and he
said to his friend, Bill lower the old
flag I want to kiss il once again
/ before 1 die Bill lowered the flag
and that boy pressed it TO his lips
and said odd Glory" Then he said
Bill Clancy go back TO the United
States and tell the people that I am
glad I died for the freedom OF the
world" Then again he kissed the
flag and said. 'Old Glory and new
Glory. too" All. there comes q new
glory into the heart and life when
we suffer for others.
What They May Become.
When Pestalozzi, the great swiss
educator, picked up the waits Of the
streets whose fathers and mothers
had turned them out 10 roam or who
had no fathers and mothers. and
gathered them into a great building
and labored with them by day and
taught them and trained them and
tried to make worthy men out of
them and went out at night to beg
/ food and clothes for them a friend
came TO him one day and said Pes
talozzi. why IS II you viii spend all
the day laboring with these boys and
| then 20 out at night to beg food
and clothing for them when you
might earn an honorable living and
have place in the worldT" Pesta-
loZZi said, "Ah. don't look upon these
I boys as they are. but as they
VIII be when I have finished my
/ work with them; honorable men.
presidents OF banks, governors and
officials OF various kinds serving
their day and generation Then viii
have my reward"
I read IN Isaiah there where Il says
Jesus will see the travail OF his soul
and be satisfied" Jesus viii have a
full reward. have wondered some
times how IL was that he could die
for you and me: how he could love
Us when we were so unlovely. but he
loved US not because Of what we were.
but because Of what he could make
OF US when we should receive him as
savior and lord.
The Final Day.
After a while he is going to come
down off the throne He viii forget
the suffering Of Calvary. He will for
get the sorrows that he bore for YOU
and for me as he comes down from
the skies with the holy angels, and
as the saints that have been re-
deemed are brought forth from their
graves to greet their Lord IN the skies
and the great angel VIII stand and
say. Lift I'D your heads. o We gates:
even lift them up ye everlasting
doors, and the king OF glory shall
come in" and another angel viii ask.
Who Is this king OF Elory2" and the
answer viii be The Lord OF hosts.
he is the king OF glory" and then the
gates viii open wide and there will
sweep into the celestial city the re-
deemed OF all the ages. and when they
gather round his throne and he pre-
seuts them to his father and all sick
ness and pain and sorrow and anguish
are forever gone then viii Christ re-
ceiFe his reward and the joy OF that
hour viii compensate him for Calvary
and Gethsemaue- He is a Glorious
Savior. willing to save and worthy
10 save, and we viii fall down fin wor-
ship before his throne and say. Thou
art worthy for thou vast slain and
hast redeemed us 10 God by thy blood
out OF every kindred, and tongue and
people and nation; and hast made US
unto our God kings and priests
I bless God that Jesus was willing
10 suffer for me: that he bore my
sins upon the cross Of Calvary that
might have everlasting life through
his name and that might believe and
