The Cross of Christ.

By N. S. G.

To bear the cross always is to do right always. It is no less than to fulfill the high commands of the Saviour under all circumstances. It is to deny, control, and conquer, self. It is to watch, pray, and have constant hold upon Christ. It is to glorify God before men by a holy walk and godly conversation—forgiving enemies, loving all men, aiming to do them good temporally and spiritually—in a word, it is to follow Christ as far as the disciple can follow his Lord, in piety toward God, in benevolence toward man.
