She shows the sceptre ex- tended and invites the suppliant's near approach. Her face is radiant with tenderest benediction, as she lifts the footsore wanderer across the thresh- old of the house of mercy. And from every 78 NEW SHAFTS IN THE OLD MINE voice of rescued spirits shall rise the grateful song- of thanksgiving — "Grace ! 'tis a charming sound, Harmonious to mine ear! Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear!" In grace divine originates all genuine Christian livi...ng. The God of mercy must take the first step. The shepherd must seek the wandering sheep. The father must go after the wayward child. ''God commendeth His own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." This is the view of grace presented in the text. It is no passive and inoperative feeling of compassion. As 3^ou stand upon the bank of yon- der river, while your causeless enemy is vainly en- deavoring to escape the destruction that seems imminent from the turbulent flood, you may feel a true compassion for him, though others and not yourself may be engaged in active efforts to re- lieve and save him.
