PAX VOBISCUM
BY HENRY DRUMMOND, F.R.S.E., F.G.S., LL.D.
1890
PAX VOBISCUM,
prepared for publication by the Author, is now published for the first time, being the second of a series of which The Greatest Thing in the World
was the first.
Nov. 1, 1890. Come unto me, 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.

PAX VOBISCUM
I heard the other morning a sermon by a distinguished preacher upon Rest.
It was full of beautiful thoughts; but when I came to ask myself, How does he say I can get Rest?

The sermon was sincerely meant to be practical, yet it contained no experience that seemed to me to be tangible, nor any advice which could help me to find the thing itself as I went about the world that afternoon. Yet this omission of the only important problem was not the fault of the preacher. The whole popular religion is in the twilight here.

Christianity possesses the noblest words in the language; its literature overflows with terms expressive of the greatest and happiest moods which can fill the soul of man. Rest, Joy, Peace, Faith, Love, Light—these words occur with such persistency in hymns and prayers that an observer might think they formed the staple of Christian experience. But on coming to close quarters with the actual life of most of us, how surely would he be disenchanted. I do not think we ourselves are aware how much our religious life is made up of phrases; how much of what we call Christian experience is only a dialect of the Churches, a mere religious phraseology with almost nothing behind it in what we really feel and know.
