Christianity at the Cross-Roads (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Christianity at the Cross-Roads "When the work is finished labour ceases, weary man enters into his rest" These words are in the book that lies before us, and the manuscript of that book lay open on his desk, and was receiving its last touches, when the worker was laid low, and the words were fulfilled. For some days, while the struggle between life and death was carried on in the little adjoining room, one did not even dream of moving the pages from where they rested. One thought at any moment to see him rise, as he had so often done after periods of pain and prostration, and go straight back to the unfinished task, as though to live and to work were, for him, but different names for the same thing. As long ago as November nth, 1901, he said in a letter: "I am always hurried to get things in before death overtakes me, and am restless while anything is unfinished that I have once begun. Could I feel secure of a year... but I always think it may be in a week"; and this disposition never altered.
