THE WISE TOWER BUILDER. 407
and daughters, what will it cost you to be noble and
great ? Fidelity to God, loyalty to parents, industry
and frugality " Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness, and all these things shall be
added unto you."* But there is more than this:
"For we must all appear before the judgment-seat
of Christ; that every one may receive the things
done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad." In judgment the
mockery of their failure will still go on. How many
will appear in that day who did not finish their spir¬
itual tower, and consequently have no refuge from
the storm of God's wrath ? God help you all to first
count the cost and build for yourselves a character,
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, that
will abide the day of God's wrath.
* Matt, vii; 33.
