The highest service is imitation. If

his follower. To. do as Jesus did is the
surest way'of bringing honor to his

If l initiate Jesus l shall have his

witt him. In due time he will take me
up to dwell with him above If, mean
while, / ave striven to follow Him here
below. After His suffering our Lord
came to His throne, and even so, after
we have suffered a while with Him here
below we also shall arrive in glory. The
issue Of our Lords life shall be the
issue OF ours; IL we are with him In his
humiliation we shall be with Him in His
glory. Come, my soul, pluck up cour-
age, n put down thy feet in the
blood marked footprints which thy Lord
has left thee.
Let me not fail to note that the
Father will honor those who follow
His Son, II Ele sees me true to Jesus
He will put marks Of favor and honor
upon me for His Sons sake. No honor
can be like this, Princes and emperors
beetow the mere shadows Of honor; the
substance of glory comes from the
