"Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive"
(Matthew 20:7). 

Yes, there is work in Christ's vineyard for old bodies. It is the eleventh
hour, and yet He will let us work. What grace is this! Surely every old man
ought to jump at this invitation! After men are advanced in years nobody wants
them as servants; they go from shop to shop, and employers look at their gray
hairs and shake their heads. But Jesus will engage old people and give them
good wages, too! This is mercy indeed. LORD, help the aged to enlist in Thy
service without an hour's delay. 

But will the LORD pay wages to worn-out old men? Do not doubt it. He says He
will give you what is right if you will work in His field. He will surely give
you grace here and glory hereafter. He will grant present comfort and future
rest; strength equal to your day and a vision of glory when the night of death
comes on. All these the LORD Jesus will as freely give to the aged convert as
to one who enters His service in his youth. 

Let me tell this to some unsaved old man or old woman and pray the LORD to
bless it for Jesus' sake. Where can I find such persons? I will be on the
lookout for them and kindly tell them the news.

Following and Praising the Lamb. Rev. 5. 9, 10 



1 Come, ye humble sinner-train, 
Souls for whom the Lamb was slain,  Cheerful let us raise our voice; 
We have reason to rejoice. 
Let us sing, with saints in heaven,  Life restored, and sin forgiven; 
Glory and eternal laud 
Be to our incarnate God. 

2 Now look up with faith and see 
Him that bled for you and me, 
Seated on his glorious throne, 
Interceding for his own. 
What can Christians have to fear, 
When they view the Saviour there? 
Hell is vanquished, heaven appeased,  God is satisfied and pleased. 

3 Snares and dangers may beset, 
For we are but travellers yet. 
As the way, indeed, is hard, 
May we keep a constant guard. 
Neither lifted up with air, 
Nor dejected to despair; 
Always keeping Christ in view; 
He will bring us safely through.
