love and loyalty ever burning within you. Lay yourselves out for Christ; bury yourselves in his work; merge your interests in his; speak, live, only for him. Before you, the mountain shall become a plain. At your word, dead souls shall live. Millennial light shall begin to dawn about you. The kingdom of God shall come. It will make little difference whether your eyes see it or not, if only with your dying breath you can say: "The zeal of thine house hath consumed me." For there is another zeal than yours- a zeal that can accomplish what you cannot. Of all the other work that is needed to supplement our own and to make it effective, we can confidingly and exultingly declare that "the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this." For all our zeal, like the zeal of our Savior, is but an effect and manifestation of that infinite zeal of the divine nature, which is fulfilling in human history the eternal decree that Christ must reign until all enemies are put beneath his feet.
