Come.

It is said that in the desert, when the caravans are in want of water, they are accustomed to send on a camel with its rider some distance in advance; then, after a little space, follows another, and then at a short interval another. As soon as the first man finds water, almost before he stoops down to drink, he shouts aloud, "Come!" while the nearest again takes up the cry, "Come!" until the whole wilderness echoes with the word, "Come!"

So in that verse of the Scripture the Spirit and the bride say, first to all, "Come!" and then, "Let him that heareth say, Come! And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."—Sel.
