"Rest a while!" Why, it is a mother's word; she says to her little weary child who has toddled itself out of breath, "Rest a while." It is the word of a great, generous, noble-hearted leader of men. He says, "My company must have rest. I know I am sent to gain victories and to work great programmes; but in the meantime my over-worked men must have rest." It is a gentle word. Where do you find such gentleness as you find in Jesus Christ?

(J. Parker, D. D.)
