THE CHRISTIAN'S BALANCE-SHEET.

“For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Rom. viii, 18.
DR.

“THE SUFFERINGS OF THE PRESENT TIME.”

In labors more abundant. In stripes above measure. In prisons more frequent. In deaths oft. Five times received I forty stripes, save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Thrice I suffered shipwreck. A night and day I have been in the deep. In journeys often. In perils of robbers. In perils by my own countrymen. In perils by the heathen. In perils in the city. In perils in the wilderness. In perils in the sea. In perils among false brethren. In weariness and painfulness. In watching often. In hunger and thirst. In fastings often. In cold and nakedness. Besides those things which are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
Total, - - - - - “Light afflictions, but for a moment.”
CR.

“THE GLORY TO BE REVEALED IN US.”

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, the things that God hath prepared for them that love him.
That he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he hath before prepared unto glory.
Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day; and not me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
When Christ who is our life shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
And so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Total, - - - - - “An eternal weight of glory.”
The apostle Paul having carefully examined the foregoing account, deliberately makes the following declaration: “I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”—The Christian Helper.
