[W. Mackintosh Mackay, D. D., in the Christian World Pulpit, London, England]

Charles Kingsley tells in one of his letters how he went to Salisbury and was captivated there by the beauty of its great cathedral spire. The first half of it, he writes, is broken up into a mass of beautiful decorations, windows and minarets and sculptured flowers, and then, halfway it seems to catch sight of something far above and rises up in one magnificent undecorated spring, and when it ends, it is in a cross. "As I looked at it, it seemed to be a symbol of what our life, shall I say my life, has been till now, broken up with many ambitions, until it has caught sight of that which alone can unite and glorify it—the cross of my Lord Jesus Christ." Let such be your vision and mine, and then the divided heart and the backward look will all pass away.
