The Post of the Young Christian

Consider profoundly, I beseech you, your position, as one among the large number of young disciples. Older members of Christ’s Church are every day leaving the field. Their places are to be taken by yourselves. The vast responsibilities, enterprises and toils of the coming day are to fall upon you. Others will soon look up to you, as you now look to your elders. The revolutions oi time, though noiseless, are swift, and your working season is but a span. The Christianity of the next generation will take its degree and tone from the piety of those who are now girding on the armour. Whatsoever, then, you think of as desirable to be attained hereafter, strive for now, “with all the concentrated powers of your soul. Ask yourself, what measure of grace will fit you to be an example to others.
