No Heroic Way

By F. M. W.

THERE is no heroic way to everlasting life. The one who gains heaven at last must go over the same road trodden by the Master. There will be rugged mountains to scale, deep valleys to pass through, arid, burning sands to cross, sharp stones to wound the feet, and pitfalls to avoid on every side. There will also be many blessed experiences. Thrilling joy will ofttimes fill the heart of the wayfarer, but the joy will be the joy of service and sacrifice. It will be the joy of communion with the blessed Spirit, the joy of doing good to others. After the toil will come the rest; after the battle, victory; after the cross, the crown; after the reproach and humiliation and anguish of spirit for Christ's sake, honor, glory, and joy everlasting in the kingdom of God. It is a straight and narrow path that leads to the gates of glory, but a blessed and glorious reward awaits him who pursues the journey even to the end of the race.
F. M. W.
