VALEDICTORIAN ■ MARILYN PRITCHARD “And I sought for a man among them, that should stand in the gap — but I found none.” Ezek. 22:30. Why is there a lack of labourers in the Lord’s harvest field? It is certainly not caused by fail¬ ure on God’s part. He is constantly calling work¬ ers to different areas of service. Then we are failing. Perhaps, as we count the cost, we find the price too great. It is true that God never promised we would suffer no trials or persecu¬ tions. Popularity, prosperity, or pleasures of this world may have to be surrendered. But as we grasp the amazing truth that God in His love sent His only begotten Son to die for our wretched souls, we must agree that to present our bodies as a living sacrifice is our only “reasonable service.” (Rom. 12:1) God is no man’s debtor. A life given com¬ pletely to Him will receive lasting joy and peace which the world could never offer. The ultimate reward will be to dwell with Him forevermore. “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:13) “For I reckon that the suf¬ ferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Rom. 8:18) A glimpse of Him will more than repay any sacrifice we could make. “It will be worth it all when we see Jesus.”
