There Are Three Things In

The Humblest Occupation Has In It Materials Of Discipline For The Highest Heaven.

He In Whose Heart The Law Was, And Who Alone Of All Mankind Was Content To Do It, His Sacrifice Alone Can Be The Sacrifice All-sufficient In The Father's Sight As The Proper Sacrifice Of Humanity; He Who Through The Eternal Spirit Offered Himself Without Spot To God, He Alone Can Give The Spirit Which Enables Us To Present Our Bodies A Living Sacrifice, Holy And Acceptable To God. He Is The Only High-priest Of The Universe.

Mourning After An Absent God Is An Evidence Of A Love As Strong, As Rejoicing In A Present One.

In God's World, For Those Who Are In Earnest, There Is No Failure. No Work Truly Done, No Word Earnestly Spoken, No Sacrifice Freely Made, Was Ever Made In Vain (as Long As It Was Done Out Of Love, Not Personal Glory)

Every Day His Servants Are Dying Modestly And Peacefully--not A Word Of Victory On Their Lips; But Christ's Deep Triumph In Their Hearts--watching The Slow Progress Of Their Own Decay, And Yet So Far Emancipated From Personal Anxiety That They Are Still Able To Think And Plan For Others, Not Knowing That They Are Doing Any Great Thing. They Die, And The World Hears Nothing Of Them; And Yet Theirs Was The Completest Victory. They Came To The Battle Field, The Field To Which They Had Been Looking Forward All Their Lives, And The Enemy Was Not To Be Found. There Was No Foe To Fight With.
