" Thy rod and thy staff."—Jacob crossed the Jordan with it, and it is beautiful to see him close the scene in worship—" leaning on the top of his staff."

" And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."
