108 BLESSINGS PROPORTIONED TO FAITH<br />

This is what is within our reach, if we leave our<br />

sins, shake ourselves clear <strong>of</strong> our worldliness, and<br />

pour out our souls in longing at His feet. For still<br />

<strong>Jesus</strong> says, " Come unto me, all ye that labour and<br />

are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Not<br />

the rest <strong>of</strong> idleness, indeed, but the rest <strong>of</strong> quiet<br />

hearts whose trust in God is so perfect, that they<br />

are sure <strong>of</strong> a blessing for themselves and for their<br />

fellows. <strong>The</strong>n we shall no longer despair about<br />

ourselves or others, knowing that God can succeed<br />

where we fail, and that, in spite <strong>of</strong> our weakness<br />

and the victories <strong>of</strong> evil over good, He will answer<br />

our prayer<br />

" Let not my peace be broken when the wrong<br />

Conquers the right, but let me still wait on :<br />

<strong>The</strong> day <strong>of</strong> right is coming, late but long,<br />

Long right beneath the sway <strong>of</strong> the All-Righteous One."<br />

In joy, inpeace, in happy, resultful service, " According<br />

to thy faith be it<br />

unto thee."
