VOICES FROM THE PAST.

(Introducing " Young Men’s Corner " for October, 1904. )

BUY THAT FIELD.

There remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. There are many parts of the Holy Scriptures of which we know little or nothing.  In one sense all things are ours.  But we have not individually or collectively entered into possession of very much, compared with what remaineth to be possessed.

To enter into possession will cost something, pains and toil of which perhaps our young men have little idea.

The current notions of Scrip-ture study are absurdly inadequate.

The pains needed are far g r e a t e r than is generally supposed if it be a question of becom-ing possessed of much land hitherto untrodden.

Moreover we may have to pay the price and seem to obtain no possession.

For this reason we direct attention to the very instructive word of Jehovah to Jeremiah contained in chapter 32. verses 6 to end.

We ask our corner young men to read this passage and to count the cost.  Are they prepared to buy in view of days to come and to give a price for that of which the enjoyment must be entirely in the future?

To A CERTAIN YOUNG MAN.

(A word from Jeremiah the Prophet. )

Run with the footmen, though thy foot grow weary, Profit shall come, nor thankless be the task; And for thy meed--Ay, what though all be dreary?

What more than His well-earned " Well done " would’st ask?
