" To what end ? to be abundantly rewarded for liis abundant sufferings? No, but, " lest when I have preached to others — filled the whole world with the preaching of Christ and won to Him countless souls, " I myself should be a castaway. " If Paul, being what he was, so feared, what shall we say ? Are we wiser than S. Paul, or have we cea...sed to be disciples of Him, Who foretold, that "when the Bridegroom, " Him- self, shall be taken away, " then shall My disciples fast in those days ; " Who instructs us how to fast, as well as how to pray and to give alms^?
