Builds on a rock which naught can move.’”

And now, dear reader, I had meant to leave you here, and let the story of Tom’s summer work leave its own impress on your minds and hearts, but when I think of the joy, and love, and reward of working for Jesus, and the faintness with which I have tried to show them to you, I am longing for power to carry home the truth to your hearts. But God who giveth the increase will bring it to pass when human hands fall powerless.

Do you remember how John finished his gospel? He says: “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.” So I believe, with him, that if the beauty and joy of the lives spent in work for the Lord were given to mankind, “even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.”

THE END.
