You will find plenty to swim over, sometimes rough, without going to Epirus; but we are, and sweet is the thought, in the same boat with the Lord. All things become real as we grow old, through grace; yet fie is always the same, sufficient for the young, and sufficient also for the old, and so full of tenderness and grace. May we be kept humble, so as to know Him, and all the resources that are in Him, and they are in Him for present difficulties, and even loneliness-for He has felt it: " Ye shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me." So you can say, I and Christ that is with me.' " That take and give," He says to Peter, " for me and thee "- to think of putting us so together!
