Watching for Christ

       Archbishop Benson's favorite dog, "Watch," always followed his footsteps in the park and about the house. When service went on in the chapel, Watch stretched himself on the mat at the open door. On one occasion the Archbishop read the second lesson, which ended with the words, "What I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch! and the dog immediately started up and walked to his master as if he had been called, and lay at his feet until the end of the service. Surely we, with our greater intelligence, ought to have that quickness to hear and to obey when Christ our Master calls us and bids us watch for His coming.

"Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming." Matthew 24:42
