Instead of the enjoyment of life being an integral part of the aim set before the will, hunger and thirst for righteousness, and penitence for failure in keeping to it, are to fill up the believer's hopes for himself. Of inward satisfaction and peace he is often assured; but these, and these only, are the means to that peace.
In her agony of pity and reverence she thought of him as passing through a trial, which is specially the believer's trial the chastening by which God proves the soul He loves. Let her only love and trust in patience. So that day by day as Robert's depression still continued, Catherine surrounded him with the tenderest and wisest affection.
Now He that hath wrought us for the self-same thing is God, Who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Again, as to the believer's position in that which is termed in Ephesians "the heavenly places," though the supplying of the word "places" is very misleading. Dr.

That evening she had asked Mrs. Lavarello to read to her her favourite hymn, "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear." It was thought necessary to have the funeral to-day, to-morrow being Sunday. Graham helped Glass as much as he could in making the coffin. The great difficulty was to find wood for it; the lid was made of fourteen pieces.

In this connection it may be stated safely that there is comparatively no prevailing prayer to-day; yet the way is open and the promises are sure.
A murmur of assent followed, and the preacher went on; but we will not follow him. After closing with the hymn, "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear," they all went on deck, where they found a glory of sunshine flooding the Sunbeam, and glittering on the still tranquil sea.
