ARE two . sides ol the Christian life that don't seem to mix. One of these we .can call Glory.! The very word suggests something not of this world; It calls up ' mystic visions. Inner f raptures, the light of heaven. We think' of saints and angels In glory,., for that .is. where they belong. But we our selves can have a bit of it here and now. V' ,; ,. :,;; rt.. ri T. vriicu uiutjr vuin .. .( , NOT every Christian has an ex perience of glory in this lite. But those, who do, usually find that it comes only at rare intervals, when one Is alone.' after long' and perhaps painful prayer. . Sometimes it Is an actual ex perience of something , like great and bllndlnj light; some times s hearing; of voices as ' from another shore; sometimes. it feeling of unutterable peace' and Joy such as nothing In this -world can give. Whatever form It takes, -the experience we are. calling "glory" Is always con- nected In the mind and heart with the felt presence of God. It may come in church or It may, not; K may come on a . : river t sunset or some golden " . night beneath the stars.' , . However it ' comes, " one longs above all 'things for it to remain. And while it does '-remain, : one wishes to hear no human voice. A's'i'';;'";;" " When Service Calls' - K : BTTT the ChrisUan life is not aU 1 glory, by- any . means.' If the glory-side is spiritual,- the- service side is material. If the glory cannot be shared, the-whole Idea of service is sharing. For "moments of glory there can be no date nor schedule, no predicted time and place, -but acts of service must often be done by calendar and clock. Glory may net some to every ) ' one but service Is the duty of all. Yet service, s like glory, may come to tn from without. At a time when one ; least x-1 oecta Iti one win be called on ' for a service one Is scarce pro- TV pared to give. ... -.tr , Service calls us every day; wear iness and pain may at times bar us from, glory, but only the last weari ness and the most disabling ; pain will disbar us from service. Glory may be for those far advanced in the spiritual life;' service Is for these too, , but also for the. be ginners. ' - l The Wearing of Gold and Grey NOW '. the Jtrouble'.' Is .that ..glqry. and service seem to get-in each other's' , way. We ' actually, feel like different persons, in' glory ;and' In service. ' . . s-j - Let us v say on a morning'. ;in church, when ths winter sun is Streaming through the windows on the 1 communion bread ' and -.'winef and in the silence the solemn words are heard once more: 'This is my body, broken for you,". on, may, feel In Jtflss Millay'S words, t; -"This moment is the best-(the -.-world can give, , The tranquil blossom on the 1 ' tortured stem." , v, .But the next . day, ' when one is teaching . a class of mischievous boys, or helping's neighbor fix a flat tire, or baby-sitting, or spad ing . up a garden, one' does not feel .- like the same person.)!'' Can religion, the ;: Christian religion, take in both: glory and, servlcef . . ( Some Christians have thought ' not. Some have gone In for one, some for the ' other. Some live' ' only for the ' high hours . of worship knd ' rapture, ' counting". , all the time between their ra-. . dlant hours a f'dark nights of , the soul." Others leave worship ; to others; they are seldom to . be fonnd at cCmmunlon, - but " they can always be counted on to help with church suppers or' community chest drives. Jesus showed us the better way. It is not , a choice between - glory and' service; bis life included both. He had- his high moments," as on the Mount of Transfiguration; but they did not long remain.. Present ly he found himself down in the valley with disciplas 'Who did' not understand him, and.' with demons hard to cast oirt.? f'S Jesus took both sides of religion and made them one: There - was glory In his service and there was service In his' glory. (In the 1 very hour of-hls transfiguration, did he not. speak of his death?)
