deeper death for that old self-spirit. You take them up in loving, wor shiping acceptance. You carry them to their Calvary in thankful sub mission. And tomorrow you will do the same. 4) “ And let him follow me.” This may refer specially to the last previous words, the cross-bearing; it may betoken a following of Him who “went out bearing his cross.” But it may better be referred to the whole previous verse, to that mys terious self-denial of the Son, whereby throughout His blessed course, His meat was to do, not his own will, but the will of him that sent him and to glorify him on earth. Thus we have more in view than the final “ going out” to Cal vary. In any case, let the disciple do all this always, wholly, with regard to Him, looking unto Him, “ follow ing Him.” I leave upon the heart, with little attempt at system, just this utter ance of the Christian’s Master call ing His . bond-servant out to the path of holiness. Listen, weigh and apply to the inmost self. Let the cost be counted before the results are claimed. Would you know what it is, in the strong but gentle realities of a happy experience, to be “ he that overcometh” (Rev. 3:5),' to have “heart and thoughts kept by the peace of God” (Phil. 4:7)? Then more is needed than even the holiest aspirations. There needs certain definite demands on the re generate will. You must draw for e v e r y v i c t o r y upon divine re sources. But you must do it as one who is. in full-heart-purpose, self- surrendered, denying the life of self and daily taking up the cross.
