The Cross of Christ.

By L. E. Millne

LIKE Paul, we may glory in the cross of Christ. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. How I love to run in the way of his commandments. All hail the cross of Christ this glad New Year! Its light burdens are wafting me along to the beautiful land! Already the breezes from the “shining shore” fan my weary brow, and chase away my tears and sorrows. Soon, oh! soon, if we are faithful, we shall enter the “Eden of love.” If we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him. Transporting thought! Let us walk up the King’s highway of holiness, all radiant with heavenly light. The pathway of the just is as a shining light that shineth brighter and brighter even unto the perfect day. Can we not, then, glory in tribulation, and take joyfully the spoiling of our goods here, because in “a little while,” we are expecting to remove to a fairer clime where “’tis one bright summer, always bland, and storms do never come”?
