TO THE WEARY.

By W. B. Castle

Do we ever get weary of the service of God? weary of seeking pardon, and favor? weary of asking that we may receive of Him who only can supply all our necessities? How can we?

Shall we ever get weary of his praise in the blessed kingdom of God? Can we ever, as we everywhere behold the new, the beautiful, the glorious, and the wonderful? Eternity will be too short in which to explore and admire the wonderful works of God. As we shall, if permitted to enter the realms of bliss, visit the untold numbers of other planets, to behold their wonders and glories, we can but feel overwhelmed with a sense of such a prospect; and the love, wisdom, and goodness of the Creator.

Jesus, our Redeemer, will be there—the one who died to save, and glorify us. He shall be our King and Lord. And as the marks of the nails and spear will ever be visible, as a memorial of what he suffered for us, themes of everlasting praise will be inspired in all the redeemed saints. Without Jesus we could never be satisfied. At his feet we'll sing what grace has done; the song of redemption shall ever be sung; and we shall be satisfied.

In view of such a prospect before us, how can we ever get weary of preparing to enter that state of existence by confession of sins; by asking pardon; by communion with God; by holy living?

“Let us not be weary in well-doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Gal. vi, 9.
