So with us  The clear pure dawn of cleansing through the Blood  the sunrise gladness of resurrection life; the mid day light and warmth of growth and service, all are good in their own order: but he who stops short there misses the crown of glory, before which the brightness of former days grows poor and cold. SO WITH US THE CLEAR PURE DAWN OF CLEANSING THROUGH THE BLOOD THE SUNRISE GLADNESS OF RESURRECTION LIFE THE MID DAY LIGHT AND WARMTH OF GROWTH AND SERVICE ALL ARE GOOD IN THEIR OWN ORDER BUT HE WHO STOPS SHORT THERE MISSES THE CROWN OF GLORY BEFORE WHICH THE BRIGHTNESS OF FORMER DAYS GROWS POOR AND COLD
or the treasure that lies there in abundance, stored as it were in the seedvessels of God's garden that have not been broken, not emptied for His world, not freed for His use. Shall we not free it all gladly.--It is not grudgingly or of necessity that the little caskets break up and scatter the seed, but with the cheerful giving that God loves. Have you ever noticed how often the emptied calyx grows into a diadem, and they stand crowned for their ministry as if they gloried in their power to give as the time draws near? Even here in measure the faithfulness unto death and the crown of life go together: even here, if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him. It is when the sun goes out from our horizon to light up the dayspring in far-away lands, that the glory of the day comes on: it is in the autumn, when the harvest is gathered and the fruit is stored for the use of man, that the glow of red and gold touches and transfigures bush and tree with a beauty that the summer days never knew. PLEADING DUMBLY FOR THE TREASURE THAT LIES THERE IN ABUNDANCE STORED AS IT WERE IN THE SEED VESSELS OF GOD'S GARDEN THAT HAVE NOT BEEN BROKEN NOT EMPTIED FOR HIS WORLD NOT FREED FOR HIS USE SHALL WE NOT FREE IT ALL GLADLY IT IS NOT GRUDGINGLY OR OF NECESSITY THAT THE LITTLE CASKETS BREAK UP AND SCATTER THE SEED BUT WITH THE CHEERFUL GIVING THAT GOD LOVES HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW OFTEN THE EMPTIED CALYX GROWS INTO A DIADEM AND THEY STAND CROWNED FOR THEIR MINISTRY AS IF THEY GLORIED IN THEIR POWER TO GIVE AS THE TIME DRAWS NEAR EVEN HERE IN MEASURE THE FAITHFULNESS UNTO DEATH AND THE CROWN OF LIFE GO TOGETHER EVEN HERE IF WE SUFFER WE SHALL ALSO REIGN WITH HIM IT IS WHEN THE SUN GOES OUT FROM OUR HORIZON TO LIGHT UP THE DAY SPRING IN FAR AWAY LANDS THAT THE GLORY OF THE DAY COMES ON IT IS IN THE AUTUMN WHEN THE HARVEST IS GATHERED AND THE FRUIT IS STORED FOR THE USE OF MAN THAT THE GLOW OF RED AND GOLD TOUCHES AND TRANSFIGURES BUSH AND TREE WITH A BEAUTY THAT THE SUMMER DAYS NEVER KNEW
