It is the very love of Calvary that must come down into our souls, "Yea, if I be poured forth upon the service of your faith I joy and rejoice with you all:" so spoke the apostle who drank most deeply into the Master's spirit: and again  "Death worketh in us, but life in you." "Neither count I my life dear unto myself, that I may finish . . . the ministry." IT IS THE VERY LOVE OF CALVARY THAT MUST COME DOWN INTO OUR SOULS YEA IF I BE POURED FORTH UPON THE SERVICE OF YOUR FAITH I JOY AND REJOICE WITH YOU ALL SO SPOKE THE APOSTLE WHO DRANK MOST DEEPLY INTO THE MASTER'S SPIRIT AND AGAIN DEATH WORKE IN US BUT LIFE IN YOU NEITHER COUNT I MY LIFE DEAR UNTO MYSELF THAT I MAY FINISH THE MINISTRY
ng back joyously now, for simultaneously with the new dying a richer life has begun to work at its heart--so much death, so much life--for "Ever with death it weaveth The warp and woof of the world." The lovely wild-rose petals that have drifted away are almost forgotten in the "reaching forth unto the things that are before:" the seed-vessel has begun to form: it is "yielded . . . to bring forth fruit." Yes, there is another stage to be developed in us after the lesson of absolute unquestioning surrender to God has been learnt. A life that has been poured forth to Him must find its crown, its completion, in being poured forth for man: it must grow out of surrender into sacrifice. "They first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God." Back to the Cross once more: if there is any place where this fresh lesson can be learnt, it is there! "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. OOK OF DUMB EMPTINESS IS GONE IT IS FLUNG BACK JOYOUSLY NOW FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH A NEW DYING A RICHER LIFE HAS BEGUN TO WORK AT ITS HEART SO MUCH DEATH SO MUCH LIFE FOR EVER WITH DEATH IT WEAVETH THE WARP AND WOOF OF THE WORLD THE LOVELY WILD ROSE PETALS THAT HAVE DRIFTED AWAY ARE ALMOST FORGOTTEN IN THE REACHING FORTH UNTO THE THINGS THAT ARE BEFORE THE SEED VESSEL HAS BEGUN TO FORM IT IS YIELDED TO BRING FORTH FRUIT YES THERE IS ANOTHER STAGE TO BE DEVELOPED IN US AFTER THE LESSON OF ABSOLUTE UNQUESTIONING SURRENDER TO GOD HAS BEEN LEARNT A LIFE THAT HAS BEEN POURED FORTH TO HIM MUST FIND ITS CROWN ITS COMPLETION IN BEING POURED FORTH FOR MAN IT MUST GROW OUT OF SURRENDER INTO SACRIFICE THEY FIRST GAVE THEIR OWN SELVES TO THE LORD AND UNTO US BY THE WILL OF GOD BACK TO THE CROSS ONCE MORE IF THERE IS ANY PLACE WHERE THIS FRESH LESSON CAN BE LEARNT IT IS THERE HEREBY PERCEIVE WE THE LOVE OF GOD BECAUSE HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US AND WE OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR THE BRETHREN
