But this I do believe He would require--ourselves.

We must give ourselves in some way that will mean real, genuine, downright and decided self-sacrifice.

If Christ were here He would say to some of you, as He said to the young man, 'Sell all you have and give to the poor, and come, follow me.' And if you were unwilling to do it He would say you could not be His disciples.

The test of discipleship is the same now as then; the price is no less on account of the lapse of two thousand years.

Eternal life is something which has only one price, and that is the same always.
"What less can we do than give ourselves and all we have to the salvation of souls in this city?
Have we not enjoyed our pleasant things long enough?
What less would Christ demand of the church to-day than the giving up of its unnecessary luxuries, the consecration of every dollar to His glory and the throwing of ourselves on the altar of His service?
Members of Calvary Church, I solemnly believe the time has come when it is our duty to go into the tenement district and redeem it by the power of personal sacrifice and personal presence.
