A Solemn Devotement To CHRIST

An ox stands between 
an altar and a plough
(J.R. Miller)

It is always a solemn hour when anyone 
stands before GOD and men, to make 
a public profession of CHRIST. 

The act is nothing less than 
the consecration of a human soul 
to CHRIST'S service, for life or 
for death. 

On the seal of an old missionary society, 
an ox stands between an altar and a 
plough, and written below is the motto, 
"READY FOR EITHER!" That is, ready 
for sacrifice or for service. 

This should be the heart-motto 
in every public profession; 
it should be . . .
  a solemn devotement to CHRIST,
  an entire surrender to HIM for 
obedience, duty and sacrifice;
  a consecration of the whole life 
to CHRIST and HIS service. 
Such consecration all have made, 
who have publicly given themselves 
to CHRIST.
