What a revolution would come over the world  the world of starving bodies at home  the world of starving souls abroad, if something like this were the standard of giving; if God's people ventured on "making themselves poor" as Jesus did, for the sake of the need around; if the "I"  "me"  "mine" were practically delivered up, no longer to be recognised when they clash with those needs. WHAT A REVOLUTION WOULD COME OVER THE WORLD THE WORLD OF STARVING BODIES AT HOME THE WORLD OF STARVING SOULS ABROAD IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WERE THE STANDARD OF GIVING IF GOD'S PEOPLE VENTURED ON MAKING THEMSELVES POOR AS JESUS DID FOR THE SAKE OF THE NEED AROUND IF THE EYE ME MINE WERE PRACTICALLY DELIVERED UP NO LONGER TO BE RECOGNIZED WHEN THEY CLASH WITH THOSE NEEDS
ither count I my life dear unto myself, that I may finish . . . the ministry." Deeper and deeper must be the dying, for wider and fuller is the lifetide that it is to liberate--no longer limited by the narrow range of our own being, but with endless powers of multiplying in other souls. Death must reach the very springs of our nature to set it free: it is not this thing or that thing that must go now: it is blindly, helplessly, recklessly, our very selves. A dying must come upon all that would hinder God's working through us--all interests, all impulses, all energies that are "born of the flesh"--all that is merely human and apart from His Spirit. Only thus can the Life of Jesus, in its intensity of love for sinners, have its way in our souls. Death to Self is the Way Out into a Life of Sacrifice. This dandelion has long ago surrendered its golden petals, and has reached its crowning stage of dying--the delicate seed-globe must break up now--it gives and gives till it has nothing left.
