“BEHOLD
HE
COMETH.”
Acgs
ago
in
eastern
land
They
watched
tor
Him,
Listening
oft
for
his
chariot
wheels,
As
the
day
grew
dim;
And
wondered
if
He
would
come
again
From
Otivet.
With
welcoming
words
on
their
lips
they
looked,
And
He
tarries
yet.
Every
year
across
winter's
snows,
With
wistful
eves
.
Eager
disciples
have
watched
for
him
x
To
come
from
the
skies:
Every
year
under
summer
suns
They
have
sung
his
praise,
And
cried
for
him
from
their
yearning
hearts;
a
But
He
still
delays.
They
have
died
at
wateh
on
the
beacon
heights,
And
we
take
their
place;
We
long,
as
they
longed
in
the
olden
days,
For
the
sight
of
his
face.
The
sad
earth
wants
him
in
her
deep
woe
}
To
give
her
rest;
But
the
years
pass
on,
and
He
does
not
come
Te
make
us
blest.
Yet
courage,
brothers,
we
have
his
word,
And
He
will
not
fail;
Let
us
be
patient,
and
watch
and
wait
.
Till
our
prayers
prevail.
He
will
surely
come,
as
He
said
He
would,
In
the
light
sublime;
And
we
shall
forget
as
we
see
his
face
This
waiting
time.

CHRIST
THE
EFFICIENCY
OF
EVERY
WORKER.
Tue
Lord
calls
for
faithful
stew-
ards,—stewards
who
realize
that
God
expects
them
to
preserve
their
indi-
viduality.
All
who
are
connected
with
our
conferences
and
iastitutions
should
now
take
up
their
work
man-
fully.
They
are
not
to
be
dependent
on
men,
or
to
submerge
their
identity
in
any
organization
or
institution.
For
the
strength
he
receives,
the
hu-
man
agent
is
wholly
dependent
on
God.
How
foolish
it
is
for
human
agents
to
reach
out
for
and
depend
on
human
power!
Unless
that
which
is
imparted
by
man
comes
from
the
Source
of
all
strength,
it
is
of
no
value.
The
word
of
the
Lord
to
every
man
is,
“
Let
him
take
hold
of
my
strength,
that
he
may
make
peace
with
me;
and
he
shall
make
peace
with
me.”
Shall
we
not
feel
the
weight
of
our
personal
responsibility,
and
maintain
our
individuality?
While
we
should
respect
and
love
one
another,
we
are
to
remember
that
no
one
can
fight
our
battles
for
us.
Every
one
has
his
appointed
work,
and
upon
the
ac-
complishment
of
this
work
depends
his
salvation.
When
the
apostles
stood
in
their
appointed
places,
doing
the
work
en-
trusted
to
them,
they
became
mighty
in
word
and
deed.
God
inspired
them
to
write
the
gospels,
With
ac-
curacy
they
traced
an
account
of
the
incidents
to
which
they
had
been
eye-
witnesses,
giving
us
a
record
of
the
truths
uttered
by
our
Saviour,
and
showing
us
things
to
come.
And
to
us
the
Lord
will
manifest
Himself
as
one
who
can
save
to
the
uttermost.
My
brethren,
while
God
has
entrusted
us
with
talents
for
which
we
are
responsible
to
him
alone,—while
he
requires
us
to
pre-
serve
our
individuality,—yet
he
de-
sires
every
one
of
us
to
be
so
closely
united
with
Christ
that
our’
personal
identity
will
be
hid
with
him
in
God.
Because
human
agents
have
not
re-
alized
that
Christ
alone
is
their
effi-
ciency,
great
spiritual
weakness
has
resulted.
If
we
yield
our
individual-
ity
to
other
men,
allowing
them
to
think
and
to
act
for
us,
we
become
weaklings;
for
we
obtain
no
experi-
ence
of
our
own.
Let
every
one
trust
in
Jesus
as
his
sufficiency.
He
is
our
only
sure
covert
and
dependence.
It
is
high
time
for
us
to
realize
the
responsibility
resting
upon
us.
We
may
learn
many
lessons
from
the
sixth
chapter
of
Isaiah.
The
prophet
de-
clares:
“In
the
year
that
King
Uz-
ziah
died
I
saw
also
the
Lord
sitting
upon
a
throne,
high
and
lifted
up,
and
his
train
filled
the
temple.
Above
it
stood
the
seraphims;
each
one
had
