The Secret of Steadfastness By REV. LEW W. GOSNELL Assistant Dean, Moody Bibi? luBtltute, CbUago. 0= T13XT.-Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, in y Joy and crown, so stand fast In the Lord, my dearly be loved.-Phil. 4:1. Mr. William Jennings Bryan is as well known, we presume, ns tiny man in public life to day. Many hon ors have come to bim and, above all, be bolds the respect of many who do not agree with bis opinions. He stated recently that his greatest Joys bad not been found in cornice lion with bis pub mWJk jffimli lie Ilfti 1,1 tne 1>"" litical arena, but rather In those episodes in which be bad been able to strengthen the re ligious faith and deepen the religious life of his fellows. How comforting that the humblest tun shu re with bim this greatest of all joys! Tho Apostle rani's heart was thrilling with kt when hu addressed the Philippians us Iiis "joy and crown." Those whom be (md helped on tho road to God were his Joy and will bo his crown. Tani also speaks of these converts ns his "brethren.' It will he recalled thill when ibo church at Philippi was found ed (Acts Kl), lhere wer? gut herod to gether in tts fellowship such a varied Company as Lydia, the well-to-do Asi atic; the Greek skm? girl, out of whom a demon was cast; and I he rude Roman Jailer. Vet these were made one in Christ, and to these it might have been sahl: "There is neither .Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, Hiere is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Verily, the world knows of no brother hood like unto this ! To l'util Uiesc brethren were "dearly beloved ami longed for." True broth erly love seems lacking at times among Christians. Yet many bear witness that times of?4estlng manifest the fact that this affection is real and ls deeper than the Hes of social rela tionship, or even of blood. Years ago there lived In England a poor rector of a country parish. Ills Income was so monger that lt seemed necessnry for him to take another church, and be was packing up bis ef fects, preparatory to moving. But bis poor parishioners gathered "hb?mt bim and entreated him to stay with them. He could -not resist their pleadings and told them he would remain, oven though penury stared bim in Ibo face. That night John Fawcett wrote: Blest ho the tlc that hinds Our hearts in Christian love: The fellowship of kindred minds Is like lo that above. We sh aro our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other Howe The sympathetic tear. To these "brethren dearly beloved and hinged for," Paul writes concern ing their standing fast. He knew too well that Satan would seek to over throw their faith and crush ?mt their spiritual lift;. This enemy of souls ls .still actively engaged in this business, and Paul's words of counsel are as full of vital Interest today as when they wer? spoken. What a stimulus Is found in the fnct that we are all, by faith, "in the Loni." Being thus, we may hope to "stand fast." However, lt will he necessary to live in the experience of this fnct if we are to have actual victory over Satan. Charles Simeon of Cambridge, the great preacher and teacher, lived a wondrously beautiful und useful Chris tian life. Much of the secret was found In the fact that he would arise early of mornings and pace to and fro on the roof of his chamber, holding communion with God. Tims be lived In the realization of the fact that ho was "in Hit! Lord," and thus be was able to "stand fast." It is somewhat didicult to find the connection of the word "so" In tho phrase, "so stand fast In tho Lord." lt seems to go back to the preceding chapter, where Paul has ticen exhort ing these? Christians to forget the things1 behind, and, like runnels In a race, to press toward the mark for tho prize of their high calling. Hence, lt appears, there is a difference between standing fast and sinnding Still. Just as thc rider on a bicycle ls assured of stead lust ness only by making prog ress, so tho Christian who would "stand fast" must "press toward tho mark." But we must not overlook Ibo word "therefore," with which the (ext be gins. Wherever God bas a "therefore" Ile has a "wherefore." In this In stance it is found in the verses Imme? dlately preceding (8:20, 21): "For our conversation ls in heaven ; from whence also we look for Ibo Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ ; win? shall change our vile body, that lt may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby Ile is able even lo subdue all things unto Himself. Therefore, my brethren dear? ly beloved and longed for, my Joy and crown, so stand fast "In the Lord, my dearly beloved." Every Word. Every word you niter wings its way to tho throne of doti, and ls to affect the condition of your soul forever. -Todd. Subscribo for Tho Courier.
