HOW MUCH HAVE YOU DONE FOR CHRIST?
Rom. 6: 19: "As ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness." Prov. 15: 23: "A word spoken in due season, how good it is!" A preacher, in walking the length of the hotel promenade at a summer watering-place, met a lady hastening toward the breakfast room. It was late in the morning. A casual remark of the gentleman as to the lateness of the hour led to the following reply: "I am late because I was tired. I danced last night until I blistered my feet." "May I ask one question?" the preacher said, and with consent he asked, "Did you ever blister your feet in the service of your Redeemer?" A scornful look and a hasty retreat were the result. A bystander and mutual friend remarked that the question was faithful, tho rather severe. The two wondered what would come of it. For several days the lady avoided her friends, and, in fact, was invisible. Nearly a week passed. Then followed an interview, at the request of the offended lady, who, with real distress, confessed that, altho angry at the preacher's question, she had been unable to justify herself, nor had sleep been possible since the morning of her confusion. "God has forgiven me," she said. "I come to ask your pardon, and that you will tell me how I can blister my feet in the service of Christ. I am ready to do it now, and before I do anything else; I want to do it very much indeed; I want to make myself weary in His service. I will do anything to atone for the waste and folly of the past. It has been so heartless of me."—Medical Missionary Record.
