.... " You are asking bread from a hungry man. For though I have known what it is to have spiritual supplies heretofore, my liberty of spirit seems at present as much obstructed as my voice. Still you have with you the omnipresent Lord, who once visited us from the bosom of the Father, clothed in the nature of man-a name which before had been out of repute in heaven: but which He has now made honorable among angels, and has rendered graciously acceptable to God. Here then is our light; contemplate it with steadfast eye; sweep away, if possible, out of its beams everything unholy and unclean; read, and pray, and praise; yea, persevere in such exercises. ' Give thyself wholly to them,' and apply all to your personal spiritual improvement."
