" Tell—that I often pray for him. Tell him the Lord has a crown in reserve for him, let man and Satan strive as they may";
The Lord will not retreat,
Nor change His glorious plan,
Though all the devils meet
To aid rebellious man;
When once His word is passed,
When He hath said " I will":
That thing shall come at last,
God keeps His promise still.
"The world" (says H.) "is passing away before our eyes. To-day will soon be yesterday, tomorrow will as soon be to-day. We always remember the past, but FEEL the present; yet a little while, and the life to come will be felt, and the past only remembered."
