things for other men, and never and in nothing for yourself—­that is the deepest secret of Beulah.  To say it, if need be, three times to-night on your face and in a sweat of blood, “Not my will, but Thine be done!”—­that will to-night turn the garden of Gethsemane itself into the very garden of Glory.  Do you doubt it?  Are you not yet able to believe it?  Then hear about it from One who has Himself come through it.  Hear His word upon the whole matter who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  “Come unto Me,” says the King of Beulah, “all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”  So after He had washed their feet, and had taken His garments and was set down again, He said unto them, “Know ye what I have done to you?  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.  If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.  If ye love Me, keep My commandments.  And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever.  If a man love Me, he will keep My words; and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him and will make Our abode with him.  Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you:  not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  These things have I spoken unto you that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.  Hitherto ye have asked nothing in My name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.  Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am.”  And thus I saw in my dream that their way lay right through the land of Beulah, in which land they solaced themselves for a season.
