Which way are _you_ drifting? Do you enjoy perfect love? Are you as clear in your experience as when you joined the Church? Are you walking in _all_ the light that God lets shine upon your heart? Does the light shine as clear as in bygone days? Do you have sensible manifestations of God’s presence? Do you have the joy of the Lord? Do you really get blessed of _God_? Do you rejoice evermore? Do you in everything give thanks? Do you love the _cross_? Is the way that God leads you delightful? And can you sing-- “Jesus all the day long, Is my joy and my song?” Now, can you, from the very bottom of your heart, say _Yes!_ to these questions? If so, I think that you are drifting heavenward; if not, hellward. Which way are you drifting? XXIV. PAP. Webster says the word “pap” means “soft food designed for children or infants.” Children, whose stomachs are weak and unable to digest hearty food, have to be fed on this. It requires but little effort of nature to dispose of this kind of food. We have in Zion a great many aged infants that require this kind of spiritual provender. You feed them with the solid roast beef of the gospel, and immediately they are in cramps and spasms; and O, such wailings of displeasure. It is as true to-day as when St. Paul wrote to the Corinthian brethren, there are many that ought to be full grown men and women in spiritual attainments, but are mere babes, and have to be fed on infant’s food; and the only way that many can be persuaded to remain in the church, or even to make a half-way profession of the religion of Jesus Christ, is to give them large doses of this precious diet. Many will hang on tremendously, and pull mightily, so long as they receive that attention and nursing that their infantile natures demand, but as soon as that stops then comes the chills.
