"Who Shall Roll Away the Stone?"
That which weeping ones were saying,
Eighteen hundred years ago,
We, the same weak faith betraying,
Say in our sad hearts of woe,
Looking at some troublo lying
In the dark and dread unknown,
We, too, often ask with sighing,
"Who shall roll away the stone?"
Thus with care our spirits crushing,
W1 ten they might from care be free,
And in joyous songs outgusliiug,
Rise in rapture, Lord, to thee.
For, before the way was ended,
Oft we're had with joy to own
Angels have from heaven descended
And have rolled away the stone.
Many a storm cloud sweeping o'er us,
Never pours on us its rain;
Many a grief we see before us
Never comes to cause us pain,
Oftentimes the feared "to-morrow"
Sunshine comes—the cloud has flown !
As not then in foolish sorrow,
"Who shall*roll away the stone?"
Burden not thy sonl with sadness;
Make a wiser, better choice;
Drink the wine of life with gladness;
God doth bid thee, man "rejoice!"
In to day's bright sunlight basking,
Leave to-morrow's cares alone;
Spoill not present joys by asking,
"Who shall roll away the stone?"
"There was a strife among them which
should be counted the greatest." This
"strife" was not confined to that period.
Our age is laden with decorations, certifi
cates, and double-class honors; there is
an earnest thronging towards the chief
seats. It may be well for us to study the
teachings of Jesus upon this subject, to
consider the principle which regulates
authority and position in his Church. He
said "Except ye be converted" —take an
opposite course—ye cannot so much as
enter the kingdom of Heaven, much less
have any position in it. We thus learn
that the conquest of self is the indispens
able condition, not only of authority in the
Church, but of actual entrance into it. In
this, as in all else, Christ is the example.
"He made himself of no reputation," "he
humbled himself;" he washed the disci
ples feet. The true Christain is that man
in whom the dominion of self is broken;
so long as the fraction is held to be great
er than the whole, the heart is at a great
distance from Jesus, Tnis principle has
important applications in all the relations
of life. The man who works only for
himself may be a theologian, but he is not
a Christain: he is not working on the line
which terminates in the cross; the spirit
of self-crucifixtiou is not iu him. Christ
will excuse ignorance and pity weakness,
but he cannot endure vanity. ''Take my
yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart.', — Parker.
If a Christian goes to the theatre, he
must take Christ with him. If he cauuot
take Christ with him' lie must uot go. If
he leaves Christ at the door, he is 110 lon
er a Christian.
If diamonds are polished only by their
own dust, why should you complain that
God is tempting you by such throis and
lacerations and wasting of life as are nec
essary?—Bushnell
It would be most lamentable ifthc good
things of the world were rendered either
more valuable or more lasting: for, des
picable as they already are, too many
are found eager to purchase them, even at
the price of their souls.— Colton.
Lore is boundless. Love reaches with
in the prison walls; and even pitying re
members the outcast and the depraved.
The sunbeams falling on the floor of the
hovel of sin are as pure as those of the
sanctuary.— Rev. D. 0. Mears.
The laws of nature are not, as modern
naturalists seem to suppose, iron chains
by which the living God, so to say, is
bound hand and foot; but elastic cords,
rather, which He can lengthen or shorten
at is Hsovereign will.— Philip Schaf.
it is 110$ falling into the water but ly
ing in the water that drowns. It is not
falling into sin, but lying in sin, that de
stroys the soul. If siu and thy heart are
two, Christ and thy heart are one.—
Thomas Brooks.
