Let US ask ourselves, as we close the cliapter, in what light we regard Christ's work and Christ's cause in the world ? Are we helpers of it, or hinderers ? Do we in anywise aid the Lord's " j)rophets/' and '^ righteous men ?" Do we assist His " little ones ?" Do we impede His laborers, or do we cheer them on ? — These are serious questions. They do well and wisely who give the " cup of cold water," whenever they have opportunity. They do better still who work actively in the Lord's vineyard. May we all strive to leave the world a better world than it was when we were born ! This is to have the mind of Christ. This is to find out the value of the lessons this wonderful chapter contains.
