　and　say；　〃Hitherto　hath　the　Lord　helped　us。〃　〃As　thy　days；　so　shall　thy　strength　be。〃　Deuteronomy　33：25。　The　trial　will　not　exceed　the　strength　that　shall　be　given　us　to　bear　it。　Then　let　us　take　up　our　work　just　where　we　find　it；　believing　that　whatever　may　come；　strength　proportionate　to　the　trial　will　be　given。

And　by　and　by　the　gates　of　heaven　will　be　thrown　open　to　admit　God's　children；　and　from　the　lips　of　the　King　of　glory　the　benediction　will　fall　on　their

ears　like　richest　music；　〃Come；　ye　blessed　of　My　Father；　inherit　the　kingdom　prepared　for　you　from　the　foundation　of　the　world。〃　Matthew　25：34。

Then　the　redeemed　will　be　welcomed　to　the　home　that　Jesus　is　preparing　for　them。　There　their　companions　will　not　be　the　vile　of　earth；　liars；　idolaters；　the　impure；　and　unbelieving；　but　they　will　associate　with　those　who　have　overcome　Satan　and　through　divine　grace　have　formed　perfect　characters。　Every　sinful　tendency；　every　imperfection；　that　afflicts　them　here　has　been　removed　by　the　blood　of　Christ；　and　the　excellence　and　brightness　of　His　glory；　far　exceeding　the　brightness　of　the　sun；　is　imparted　to　them。　And　the　moral　beauty；　the　perfection　of　His　character；　shines　through　them；　in　worth　far　exceeding　this　outward　splendor。　They　are　without　fault　before　the　great　white　throne；　sharing　the　dignity　and　the　privileges　of　the　angels。

In　view　of　the　glorious　inheritance　that　may　be　his；　〃what　shall　a　man　give　in　exchange　for　his　soul？〃　Matthew　16：26。　He　may　be　poor；　yet　he　possesses　in　himself　a　wealth　and　dignity　that　the　world　could　never　bestow。　The　soul　redeemed　and　cleansed　from　sin；　with　all　its　noble　powers　dedicated　to　the　service　of　God；　is　of　surpassing　worth；　and　there　is　joy　in　heaven　in　the　presence　of　God　and　the　holy　angels　over　one　soul　redeemed；　a　joy　that　is　expressed　in　songs　of　holy　triumph。
