“这些事终必为你们的见证。”（路21：13）
基督徒的生活是爬山的生活；如果爬在前面的人能回头喊一声，笑一笑，点一点头，招一招手，对于爬在后面的人是大有帮助的。我们都是爬山的人，我们应该互相帮助，勉励，才是。这样的爬山是顶危险的，可是也是顶荣耀的。我们要爬上山顶，一方面必须费力，一方面必须谨慎，坚忍。我们越爬得高，前途的景色越望得清。我们中间如果有什么人发现了什么值得注意的东西，应该立即回头喊一声，叫后面疲倦的同伴得着兴奋。——选
This will be a time for you to serve as witnesses. —Luke 21:13
Life is a steep climb, and it does the heart good to have somebody “call back” and cheerily beckon us on up the high hill. We are all climbers together, and we must help one another. This mountain climbing is serious business, but glorious. It takes strength and steady step to find the summits. The outlook widens with the altitude. If anyone among us has found anything worth while, we ought to “call back.”
If you have gone a little way ahead of me, call back--
’Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track;
And if, perchance, Faith’s light is dim, because the oil is low,
Your call will guide my lagging course as wearily I go.
Call back, and tell me that He went with you into the storm;
Call back, and say He kept you when the forest’s roots were torn;
That, when the heavens thunder and the earthquake shook the hill,
He bore you up and held you where the very air was still.
Oh, friend, call back, and tell me for I cannot see your your face,
They say it glows with triumph, and your feet bound in the race;
But there are mists between us and my spirit eyes are dim,
And I cannot see the glory, though I long for word of Him.
But if you’ll say He heard you when your prayer was but a cry,
And if you’ll say He saw you through the night’s sin-darkened sky
If you have gone a little way ahead, oh, friend, call back--
’Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track.
