80 LET US DRAW NIGH<br />
whole heart to live for his fellow-men !<br />
What a<br />
difference to his own life, as he yielded himself<br />
to God's saving love in its striving for souls<br />
What a difference to all our Christian agencies,<br />
suffering for want of devoted, whole-hearted<br />
helpers ! What a difference to our churches, as<br />
they rose to know what they have been gathered<br />
for ! What a difference to thousands of lost ones,<br />
who would learn with wonder what love there is<br />
in God's children, what power and blessing in<br />
that love !<br />
<strong>Let</strong>'us consider one another.<br />
1. It is the very essence, the beauty, and the glory of the salvation<br />
of Christ, that it is for all. He that truly recedes it, as the<br />
Holy Spirit gives it, receives it as a salvation for all, and feels<br />
himself impelled to communicate it to others. The baptism of fire<br />
is a baptism of redeeming love, but that not as a mere emotion,<br />
but a power at once to consider and to care for others.<br />
2. How im/ ossible to love others and give all for them in our<br />
strength ! This is one of the real gifts to be waited for in the<br />
Holiest of All, to be received in the power of the pentecostal Spirit<br />
the love of God so shed abroad in the heart, that we spontanea<br />
uoly, unceasingly, Joyfully love, because it is our very nature.
