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." 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
entirely negative matter--the old pains would be unable to touch us, the old bonds would be unable to fetter us. Our actual consciousness would have passed into the new existence: we should be independent of the old. And a like independence is the characteristic of the new flood of resurrection life that comes to our souls as we learn this fresh lesson of dying--a grand independence of any earthly thing to satisfy our soul, the liberty of those who have nothing to lose, because they have nothing to keep. We can do without anything while we have God. Hallelujah! Nor is this all. Look at the expression of abandonment about this wild-rose calyx as time goes on, and it begins to grow towards the end for which it has had to count all things but loss: the look of dumb emptiness has gone--it is flung 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. USNESS OF DEATH WOULD BE AN ENTIRELY NEGATIVE MATTER THE OLD PAINS WOULD BE UNABLE TO TOUCH US THE OLD BONDS WOULD BE UNABLE TO FETTER US OUR ACTUAL CONSCIOUSNESS WOULD HAVE PASSED INTO THE NEW EXISTENCE WE SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT OF THE OLD AND ALIKE INDEPENDENCE IS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE NEW FLOOD OF RESURRECTION LIFE THAT COMES TO OUR SOULS AS WE LEARN THIS FRESH LESSON OF DYING A GRAND INDEPENDENCE OF ANY EARTHLY THING TO SATISFY OUR SOUL THE LIBERTY OF THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING TO KEEP WE CAN DO WITHOUT ANYTHING WHILE WE HAVE GOD HOLLELUJA NOR IS THIS ALL LOOK AT THE EXPRESSION OF ABANDONMENT ABOUT THIS WILD ROSE CALLOUS AS TIME GOES ON AND IT BEGINS TO GROW TOWARDS THE END FOR WHICH IT HAD TO COUNT ALL THINGS BUT LOSS THE LOOK 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
