The Divine Order

By Cortland Myres

First made pure, then sacrificial. This is the normal life. It is not something to be feared. It is to be experienced with delight. This is life at its best and its happiest. Without it Galilee becomes a Dead Sea,—no beauty, no music, no life; death everywhere. We live by dying. We save by giving. We find by losing. The man who keeps his religion has not a religion worth keeping. It is a strange statement but true, that Christianity must be given away in order to be kept.—Cortland Myres.
