68. Faith

 
“T. A.,” Islington. We do not exactly see the force of your remarks. To us the matter is very simple. “He that believed on the Son of God hath everlasting life!” We know that, in every case, faith is wrought in the heart by the power of the Holy Spirit.
“Faith, too, that trusts the blood through grace,
From that same love we gain;
Else, sweetly as it suits our case,
The gift had been in vain.”
