FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from R. J. Campbell, Arthur Chamberlain, Willard H. Hinkley

[Rev. R. J. Campbell in The British Congregationalist.]

Faith in Christ is faith in love, the love of man wedded to the love of God. Nothing in the long run can prevail against that love in this world or the next. I believe that the mere crossing of the mysterious gulf called physical death matters very little. It only means a change of lights. The wicked man finds that he has been living by false values, and the good man finds how much more has yet to be learned and how many richer depths of the divine nature are yet to be plumbed. One thing we shall all find, and that is that the truest life is the life that Jesus lived. That is the eternal life, whether here or beyond, this side or the further side of the tomb. Live it we must by the redeeming power of God. We shall make our bed in pain until we do ; and the nearer a man approaches to the stature of a perfect man in Christ Jesus, the more he will yearn over the failure of the lost, the more he will long to lift up and heal and save. How can Christhood ever be content with anything else?

[Arthur Chamberlain in The Christian Register.]
