The Precious Saviour

Sister S. A. Hastings writes from New Ipswich, N. H.: ‐O, the precious Saviour! What more could he do than he has done for the salvation of perishing mortals? Jesus, lovely Jesus! He is worthy of my life, my all; and I mean he shall have it. There is no charm for me but in him. I long to drink deeper of his love. Let me know that I have his smiles and it is enough. I expect hate and scorn. I expect revilings; but I shrink not from them. Jesus was reviled, and I ask not a better portion than was his. It is a rugged way that leads to the heavenly land, yet it is not all thorns. There are flowers strewn here and there to be plucked by the faithful ones. There are pleasures in the religion of Jesus that can be found nowhere else. When we let go of the world, launch out from the shore into the broad ocean of his love, then we know the blessedness of giving all for him who yielded up all for us.”
