we all know bow magnificently be exemplified this loyalty, even after the greatest success had crowned his efforts. Down almost to the very day of his death,, he was active in all forms of Christian service. Though he was the creator and leader of one of the largest mercantile establishments on earth, nevertheless he did not sit at ease in Zion, but continued to the very end to put the interests of the King dom of God in first place in his life. It is literally true that he devoted more time and thought and effort to the interests of God’s kingdom than he did to his own business. He was always helping somewhere and somehow. It is a well- known fact that he not only taught that great Bible Class in his own church, but that every Lord’s Day he was speak ing here and yonder, bearing his testimony for the Master, and often on week nights as well. Not only did he do these things, but he even put much time on individual visiting, often among the lowly and the poor, seeking souls for Christ, or ministering to the needs of his fellow men. What a life! and what an answer to all skeptical argu ments and to the excuses of those who are indifferent.and lazy in the service of their God! What a demonstration, too, all this is of the folly and sin of the adversary, who leads those reaching temporal success to settle down to the enjoyment of self-indulgent luxuries. What we all need today is to hear this mighty command of the Master, for that is what it is: “ Seek ye first the king dom of God and His righteousness.” Will we then, dear friends, in this new year of grace, as citizens, as members of Christ’s body— the true church— put first things first, seek the fullness of the righteousness of God in our lives, and accept in Joy the privileges and prerogatives of His Kingdom? Jesus has made it amply clear that the Christian is to be a man apart. We are called here in the '¡Scripture of truth a "peculiar people.” We are in the world but not of the world. We are pilgrims and strangers upon^ the earth. Our citizenship is in heaven, and we are seeking an eternal city whose Builder and Maker is God. Oh, that today we may highly resolve, not merely to turn over a new- leaf of human striving and effort for reform, but to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, well knowing then that all other necessary “ things” will surely be added unto us! >• .
