have no more
effect upon us, if only we may glorify Him.

"Many have taken the first step, giving into His keeping their souls
for eternity, but will you not now, while beholding Him hanging on
yonder cross for you, give Him your lives as well? The only life worth
the living is the surrendered life. Time is uncertain, eternity sure.
Now and _only now_ may we prove to Him our love, and know the fellowship
of His sufferings.

"I ask every Christian here today, who is willing henceforth to yield
his life, his time, his all, unconditionally into the hands of the
