O Lord, here burn, here cut; but spare me for eternity !" It was this proper appreciation of the rela- tive value of soul and body that inspired those saints of God who looked upon a day as lost when it was unaccompanied by pain, or some equivalent misfortune. They wished, in all sin- cerity, to "take up their cross daily" and fol- low Jesus. Return again to the scene on Gol- gotha and listen to the loving Savior's words: "This day, thou shalt be with Me in Paradise. " Our Lord intends to say t...hese same words to us, yes He really intends to address us as He addressed the penitent. So serious is His in- tention, so earnest His desire, that in order to 66 Golgotha be sure of thus addressing us He died upon the Cross. Nothing on earth can deprive us of that happiness, nobody on earth can stand be- tween us and Paradise, except unrepented sin and ourselves ! But there is one thing on earth that can draw us nearer to Christ; it is suffer- ing, borne with resignation to the holy will of God.
