Suffering for Christ.

By Editor

IN a published notice of the death-bed experiences of Rev. Geo. B. Little, we are struck with these expressions, which evince a rare measure of sweet acquiescence in suffering all that the will of God as revealed in providence imposes.
The day before his death, “when the wanderings of his mind were suspended for a few moments, he said, ‘I rejoice to suffer for Jesus. I am glad the way is so long to the Celestial City.’” And months before, “I have been thinking how glad I should be to pass through great suffering, if in it I may glorify God. It used to trouble me to think that I might have much to suffer, but it does not now; all that has passed away.”
