[Songs in the Night - July 8]
These last have wrought but one hour, and Thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. Matthew 20:12
WHOEVER is begotten of the Spirit, and therefore
able to appreciate and run for the prize of the "high
calling" of the Gospel age, may know that he is called
by the only call yet issued: and if willingly he shall
sacrifice his all, he may be as sure of the prize as any
other one running the same race.
Such a disposition
is an evidence of a timely consecration and acceptance
and therefore of a begetting of the Spirit.
Press nobly
on, then, dear fellow-laborers, whether you have entered
the harvest field recently or earlier; we serve the
one Lord, in the one faith; and by the one baptism
into his death; and for all such he has the crown of life
reserved. Z'88-June, p.8 R1046:5 (Hymn 263)
