Then rise to your feet as one person and say that prayer as I line
it out to you until it shall roll upward like a wave on the infinite
shore and break on our Lord's listening ears with the music of
love's unfailing appeal:
"AMEN. EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS."
In response to Dr. Haldeman the great audience filling the building
from pit to dome rose to its feet as in a flash and repeated the
prayer as he gave it out. It was a moving sight and full of
impression as the mighty volume of united voices rose and swelled
upward to that throne where our Lord sits as Bridegroom as well as
King and yearns in these days to hear His true Bride in all the
wonder of her spiritual beauty and the strength of her essential
unity say--"Come."
