Christ’s Love and Christian Service

By Bishop Jas. M. Thorburn

THIS world would be redeemed to God in a very few years if all who bear the name of Christ knew the full meaning of the love of Christ,—the love that passeth knowledge, that conquers, that is irresistible,—the love which the human heart everywhere craves. May God fill our hearts with such a love now, and may our young people go out with something like a seraph's zeal and a Christ-like love, and hasten to the great nations sitting in darkness, waiting unconsciously for messengers to come from some place in the name of Christ. These messengers will not come from the skies; they will not come back from the dead. The people who are to save this world are living in it to-day, and Christ begs of us to take his name with his commission, and go forth in perfect confidence that the time is hastening on when all the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ forever.—Bishop Jas. M. Thorburn, of India.
