THE ETERNAL SPRINGS OF GOD 163<br />
my bed; how I missed my dear wife, and the little pattering<br />
footsteps of the children far away in England. Perhaps<br />
twenty times in a day, as I felt the heart-thirst coming back<br />
again, I cried to the Lord, 'You promised me that I should<br />
never thirst,' and at once the Lord came and more than<br />
satisfied my sorrowing heart, so that I often wondered<br />
whether it were possible that my'loved one <strong>who</strong> had been<br />
taken could be enjoying a fuller revelation of His presence<br />
than I in my lonely chamber."<br />
In all this we have another, and a striking, illustration<br />
of the way in which Hudson Taylor took <strong>God</strong> literally<br />
at His Word. He would have nothing to do with Mr.<br />
Clip-promise. He held fast to <strong>God</strong>'s faithfulness.<br />
"Whatapromise!"he says." 'SHALL NEVER THIRST.'.<br />
To know that 'shall' means shall; that 'never' means never;<br />
that 'thirst' means any unsatisfied need, may be one of the<br />
greatest revelations <strong>God</strong> ever made to our souls.<br />
"Let us not, however," he adds, "change the Saviour's<br />
words. Note carefully He does not say, Whosoever has drunk,<br />
but 'drinketh'. He speaks not of one draught, but of the continuous<br />
habit of the soul.''
