So dead that no desire may rise, To pass for good, or great, or wise, To any but my Savior's eyes, Let me die, let me die." Memory Verse: "The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit that we are children of God." Scripture for Meditation: 1 John v, 1-15.
He had heard the preachers telling about the life of a Christian, the Savior's love and death, and God's great mercy, night after night for two weeks; but no invitation to come forward had been given to those desiring to make a change in their manner of living. The ministers desired that each one be given a full understanding of God's plan of salvation so that none would take a step in the dark.
You remember Jesus himself said that the poor widow's two mites were of more value than all that the rich cast into the treasury, because they gave of their abundance, but she cast in all that she had; will you not, therefore, endeavor to win the Savior's blessing by following the widow's example, and 'Go and do likewise?"
While this barrier stood, he could not, consistently with the plan of redemption, impart instruction freely to the Gentiles. To some extent, and on extraordinary occasions, he might have done so. In disposing of the question whether the Jews held slaves during our Savior's incarnation among them, the following points deserve earnest attention: Slaveholding is inconsistent with the Mosaic economy.
"And if 'tis fear of battle that makes ye bow so low, And suffer such dishonor from God our Savior's foe, I pray you, sirs, take warning, ye'll have as good a fright If e'er the Spanish damsels arise themselves to right." The Moorish conquest had been rapidly made, and generally very little resistance was offered to the advance of the invaders.
All, then, that these ecclesiastical apologists for slavery can make of the Savior's alledged silence is, that he did not, in his personal instructions, "apply his own principles to this particular form of wickedness." Higher authority than sustains self-evident truths there can not be. As forms of reason, they are rays from the face of Jehovah.
Every feature of the Savior's picture finds its appropriate original in our enslaved countrymen. They are the LEAST of his brethren. They are subject to thirst and hunger, unable to command a cup of water or a crumb of bread. They are exposed to wasting sickness, without the ability to procure a nurse or employ a physician.
She seems to have advanced much further in a letter to her brother Robert, three years later: "I long to see you give your testimony of your acceptance of the forgiving love of your Master. ... God grant, in his infinite mercy, that we may all touch the garment of our Savior's righteousness and be made whole." The editor of these letters tells us that Miss Sedgwick is now a member of Dr.
The Lord loved him because he confessed Him in that dark hour. It was a dark hour for many who reviled the Savior. You have heard of the child who did not want to die and go to heaven because he didn't know anybody there. But the thief would have one acquaintance. I can imagine how his soul leaped within him when he saw the spear thrust into our Savior's side, and heard the cry: "It is finished!"
On another occasion, as he was sitting at a tea table, unusually supplied with cakes and sweetmeats, he found an opportunity to make a practical allusion to the same family story. He said that Mary was quiet and humble, sitting at her Savior's feet to hear his words; but Martha thought more of what was to be got for tea. Martha could not find time to listen to Christ.
