Patience.

By J. F. Bahler

This is a characteristic more precious than silver or gold. It is great for endurance, never utters any complaint when persecuted on one hand or the other. “Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Jas. 1:4.
We must have it to make perfect our ways. May it work in us perfect and pure lives. Job, the patient patriarch, has left us a wonderful life-record; and Jesus said of some that they brought forth fruit with patience. Let us all have it, that we may bring forth fruit for the kingdom. Patience! thou jewel of inestimable value, possess, oh! possess, my soul, until I shall behold dear King Jesus, and reign with him where love and peace shall have no need of patience. J. F. Bahler.
