Deny yourself, find sorrow for yourself, although there is no end or aim whatso- ever to be gained by these ; for self-denial and self- inflicted suffering are good things in themselves. Ah, we meet them here with a flat deniah We say that it is the teaching of Jesus, that all the glory of work and self-sacrifice is reflected back on them from a noble end. It is noble, it is heroic, it is martyrdom, to go to the stake for the cause of tlie blessed Re- deemer ; it is folly, it is wrong-headednes...s, it is self- murder, to give your body to be burnt, merely because to be burnt is something terribly painful and abhor- rent. The self-denial required by Jesus does not lie in seeking needless suffering for ourselves, but in bearing humbly and submissively what should come in the discharge of Christian duty. " Let a man," CURISTIAX SELF-DENIAL. 283 says Jesus, " deny himself, and take up his cross," — his own cross, — the cross God is pleased to send him, and no other ! Let him bear the sorrow allotted to him in love and wi.sdom by the Almighty ; let him not tempt the Lord by trying to take the reins of providence into his own puny hands.
