Over and over when we think we know our lesson, we find ourselves beginning another round of God's Divine spiral: "in deaths oft" is the measure of our growth, "always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh." OVER AND OVER WHEN WE THINK WE KNOW OUR LESSON WE FIND OURSELVES BEGINNING ANOTHER ROUND OF GOD'S DIVINE SPIRAL IN DEATH'S OFT IS THE MEASURE OF OUR GROWTH ALWAYS DELIVERED UNTO DEATH FOR JESUS SAKE THAT THE LIFE ALSO OF JESUS MIGHT BE MADE MANIFEST IN OUR MORTAL FLESH
l the budding and blossoming and ripening--is that every seed should carry potential life. Thus are we responsible, not for the tangible results of our ministry to others, but for its being a ministry in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, such a ministry as will make those around us definitely responsible to God for accepting or rejecting the fulness of His salvation. If so, the "signs following" will not be wanting. It will be to the one the savour of death unto death, and to the other the savour of life unto life, but "whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, they shall know that there hath been a prophet among them." * * * * * * * * But even when the plant's goal is reached, it is not a finality. "There is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning. Every ultimate fact is only the beginning of a new series."[Footnote*:Emerson] "While the earth remaineth seed-time and harvest . . . shall not cease." Life leads on to new death, and new death back to life again. TO THE GROUND THAT RECEIVES IT BUT THE AIM OF THE PLANT THE GOAL OF ALL THE BUDDING AND BLOSSOMING AND RIPENING IS THAT EVERY SEED SHOULD CARRY POTENTIAL LIFE THUS ARE WE RESPONSIBLE NOT FOR THE TANGIBLE RESULTS OF OUR MINISTRY TO OTHERS BUT FOR ITS BEING A MINISTRY IN DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER SUCH A MINISTRY AS WILL MAKE THOSE AROUND US DEFINITELY RESPONSIBLE TO GOD FOR ACCEPTING OR REJECTING THE FULLNESS OF HIS SALVATION IF SO THE SIGNS FOLLOWING WILL NOT BE WANTING IT WILL BE TO THE ONE THE SAVOUR OF DEATH UNTO DEATH AND TO THE OTHER THE SAVOR OF LIFE UNTO LIFE BUT WHETHER THEY WILL HEAR OR WHETHER THEY WILL FORBEAR THEY SHALL KNOW THAT THERE HATH BEEN A PROPHET AMONG THEM BUT EVEN WHEN THE PLANT'S GOAL IS REACHED IT IS NOT A FINALITY THERE IS NO END IN NATURE BUT EVERY END IS A BEGINNING EVERY ULTIMATE FACT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF A NEW SERIES WHILE THE EARTH REMAINETH SEED TIME AND HARVEST SHALL NOT CEASE LIFE LEADS ON TO NEW DEATH AND NEW DEATH BACK TO LIFE AGAIN
