As the years go by, the one passage of Scripture my mother repeated oftener than any other, has a deeper meaning to me, because I see it fulfilled: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Give your best and you get the best; give your poorest and it comes back to you, not always in the same coin, but you get paid. If you live long enough, you get where you see how things come out. Do you know, I think that in many minds, at this time when the Sermon on the Mount seems at last to be coming to the front, there are grave doubts whether we have been Christian after all? It seems to me we have hardly touched the outer edge of the glorious truth that we can do all things as if we did them for the Christ. Oh, what a revelation will take place in this world when the Sermon on the Mount is lived out, and the forward movement is simply taking that road! "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Nothing less than the Christ-spirit will at all avail for bringing this world back to God.—Margaret Bottome.
