CHRISTIAN SERVICE.

THERE is too much delicacy shown in speaking with men about entering upon Christian service, and the inclination is constantly felt to make the request as easy and light as possible. We protest that this is the way to defeat the object in mind. Men should be urged to enter upon Christian work, and to devote their very lives to the service of Christ, without hesitation or reserve. We believe it must be one thing or the other. A tremendous earnestness should mark our work, and a fulness of devotion to the cause so frank and free that it would burn all bridges behind and leave one to throw himself into the service of Christ with unrelenting devotion. Such service brings results, and mighty results, too. But let not the man who is half-hearted in his own work and half-consecrated in his own life attempt to enlist disciples in the cause of Christ.—Joyful News.
