Getting on

“WE do not go beyond the three R’s,” said a Christian to us one day. But only having the three familiars, “Readin’, Ritin’, and ‘Rithmetic,” before our minds, we were at an utter loss to comprehend our friend’s meaning. In reply to our bewildered look, he explained that he did not mean to go beyond “Ruin by the fall, Regeneration by the Holy Ghost, and Redemption by the blood.” “What!” cried we, “leave out Risen with Christ, Resurrection of the body, Return of the Lord?” But there are some of God’s people, who are like birds with their wings cut, or horses upon a common with their legs tied together, they are, on principle, not getting on.
