What wonder if that too faithless friend there comes the sad experience that the beloved has withdrawn Himself and is gone; that, seeking the Spirit, finds Him not, and calling, there returns no answer! Can there be perfect serenity and a GIVE! As He hath prospered thee, give! And help some other soul to live. Since thou hast ever His dear word, And all its tender biddings heard Some other soul in need wilt see, And give as He hath prospered thee.

Pkakfknbkkgk.k, Editor Western Christian Union, Boonville, Mo, together; the words of the Bible find me at greater depths of ray being; and whatever finds me brings with it an irresistible evidence of its having proceeded; from the Holy Spirit."
