THE MASTER’S CALL

‘Go work to-day in my vineyard.’

Matthew 21:28

We recognise the claims of Christ; we know the needs of the world; what now shall be our answer to the Master’s call? Whatever response we make (whether at home or abroad) let it be loyally proportionate both to the authority which commands and the greatness of the enterprise entrusted to us.

I. Our efforts should correspond with the magnitude of the work.

II. Our earnestness should correspond with the importance of the issues at stake.

III. Our enthusiasm should correspond with the gladness of our message.

IV. Our self-denial should correspond with the example of our Master.

V. Our personal holiness should correspond with our Divine companionship.

—The Rev. H. S. Mercer.
