47. “A Christian Inquirer.יי It is entirely a matter of individual faith. Our conviction is that in all such cases, the more excellent way is to wait only upon God. He can touch hearts, and open doors, and provide means; yea, He could, if needful, turn the very dust of the earth into means to meet His people’s need. “ My soul, wait thou only upon God.”
48. “ L. N.,” Wangford. One grand feature of the Lord’s supper is the setting forth the truth of the unity of the body. “ For we, many, are one loaf, one body; for we are all partakers of that one loaf.” (1 Cor. 10) This being so, it would be entirely foreign to the nature of the feast for any one to keep it alone. Indeed, we consider such a thing utterly void of scripture authority or spiritual intelligence.
49. “ L. Μ. T.,” Naples. We do not know of any work on the subject to which you refer. We would most gladly help you, were it in our power, for we deeply sympathize with you in your exercise of heart. But we do not feel called of God to enter upon such a field. Give yourself to prayer. Wait continually on the Lord. He will hear, help, and deliver.
50. “ L. W.,” Heme Hill. We thank you heartily for your kind note and the accompanying lines.
51. “Η. H.,” Halifax. We have no recollection whatever of receiving the letter to which you refer. As to your present question, we look upon the infinite nature of Christ’s sacrifice as one powerful proof of the truth of eternal punishment. If nothing short of an infinite sacrifice could deliver from the punishment of sin, that punishment must be eternal.
52. “B. L.,” Lower Norwood. We beg to tender you our warmest thanks for your truly kind and interesting letter. We heartily bless God for His great goodness in those cases to which you refer. May He abundantly bless you, dear friend, in your own soul, and in your testimony!
