Only use your spirit as you have hitherto used your eye, your ear, or your mind. Only put yourselves under the tutorship of the Spirit of GOD. Only seek to meet Him in appointed places; at public worship, at holy communion, over the Bible, on your knees. Only seek instruction from Him, and refer to Him for interpretations and explanations; and only ask His help to be spiritually used; and order your life, as far as you can, in accordance with your prayers. And soon you will be, not smatterers, but apt scholars of Divine learning; soon you will walk as seeing Him who is invisible; soon will you _know_ the reality of spiritual things; and, knowing them, love them and seek for them. They will cease to be foolishness to you. You will choose them in every circumstance, as wisdom; you will feel religion to be the one thing needful; you will make it the business and the pleasure of your lives. The life of a Joseph, an Abraham, a Moses, a Job, a David, a Stephen, a Paul, will be found to be not simply possible, but desirable; the only life worthy of the name. Obedience will be easy; trust will expel care; love will cast out fear; selfishness will pass away; temptations will lose their power. No matter will it be to you, where or what you are. Prosperity, adversity, honour, shame, power, weakness, life, and death, will be indifferent to you. If you live, you will live to the LORD; if you die, you will die to the LORD: living and dying, in endurance and desire, thought and deed, you will be the LORD’S. Brethren, this is what the Spirit of GOD would make you. That Spirit is pledged to all of you who ask for Him; He waits to reveal to you the things of GOD. * * * * * GLORY BE TO GOD. * * * * * F.
