J. Gibson In Matthew 24 I read these words, "He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." There is a Scottish proverbAvhich says, "He that tholes overcomes". It means, he that is able to endure, has learned one secret of the overcoming life. To endure is to bear patiently whatever the passing years may bring to us, and it is to accept quietly and cheerfully the intractable elements of life. It means to pass through difficult or tragic hours free from any embittering spirit for to grow bitter is always to beaten. We say "What can't be cured must be endured", but that scarcely the endurance of the Scriptures. Such endurance is a joyless thing. It is forced submission to necessity. The endurance of which the Bible speaks is of an acquiescence. Paul and Silas in prison at Philppi did not cept things in a joyless way. They were happy. There was a lilt with-their hearts. They sang sc loudly that the other prisoners heard them. That is the endurance of the Scriptures. The bearing of things in a happy kind of fashion. acceptance with a note of triumph in it. Of that gracious and beautiful endurance the New Testament indicates three The first of these is faith, irning and a bright faith within the heart. That is the thought the apostle's mind when he tells to take the shield of faith in Eph. 6:16. A shield is not a weap-of offence. A shield is a protective bit of armour.

And Paul means that if we are to be guarded in the battle and storms of life, there must be a radiant faith within the heart. darken hours have no meaning in them. If they are quite devoid of plan or purpose. If there is nothing in life but accident or chance. Then, the highest n achieve is resignation. But if God be love, and if everything that comes to us arrives at the perfect ordering of the Fath-Then another temper becomes isible. He who believes that God is in the hard bit can endure the hard bit. He can say with Christ, "Even so Father, for seemed good in Thy sight". Faith the victory that overcomes the world. Faith finds the soul of goodness in things evil. Faith is one great secret of endurance. Then there is Love, for love endures all things, Cor. 13:7. Wherever there is love within the heart there is present the power to endure. Think of the mother with her little child. Not long ago she was a restless girl. Now her little one is ill, she is beautifully and divinely patient. And this endurance which is never sullen, but instinctive,' and often with a song in it, is the spring-token and blossoming of love. God is patient, says St. Augustine because He is eternal. But there is a deeper source of His patience, than eternity. He is patient because He loves. He bears with and pardons us a thousand times. He endures our folly and our shame just because His loves endureth al] things. Let any man love learning and what will he not endure in acquiring it. He will scorn delights and laborious days. He will be supremely happy in his travail. Love is one great secret of endurance, and our Lord empowers His children to endure by the new love He kindles in their hearts. He reveals the lovable element in He sends into their hearts His gracious spirit and the fruit of the spirit is love. What hatred indifference cannot do, Love can do, and is doing every day. Love endureth all things. Lastly there is Vision. Moses endured as seeing Him who is invisible (Heb. 11:27). To see the invisible when skies are dark is always to have power to win through. What inspired Robert Bruce to endure. It was his vision of a liberated Scotland. What inspired Columbus to endure. It was his vision of a continent ahead. Every inventor, every artist wrestling with his dreams, endures as seeing the invisible. Never was there endurance like the Marters'. It was radiant with peace and joy. It did not falter even in Gethsemene. It was equal to the agony of Calvary. And at the back of it, from first to last, inspiring, animating and sustaining it, was the unclouded vision of His Father's face. We too can practice that same presence. We can do it when life is very difficult. We can do it when the way is dark. We can do it when we cannot understand. And, doing it, we come to be so sure that underneath are the everlasting arms. Then endurance passes into joy. C.W.L. Meeting There will be no service at Sluloli Uniled Church next Sunday owing to Sharon United Church anniversary.
