AGAIN, 0 Fathpr, through thy boundless grace, U The dawning of another year I face; And mingled thoughts of sweetness and of pain Come througing o'er me, throughts of loss and gain. Sad thoughts of failure, where I hoped susscess, Sad recollections of my faithlessness; Sad memories of weakness and of sin, Sad consciousness of wrong and need within. Sweet thoughts of thy forgiveness, rich and free, Sweet recollections of thy love to lUe; Sweet memories of thine almighty power Saving and helping in temptation's hour. llt'lp me now, Lwd, to tnrn Illy joy nnn care Into a heartfelt. and pre\'l\lent prayer; This wish, the burden of my prnyer shall be To know and understand myself and Thee. Teach me to know myself-I want to see :'tIy character a8 it is seen by Thee; I fain would know where I am weak or strong, What latent, hidden powers to me belong.. Show me the sJlot where sin an entrance finus, The evil habit that my spirit binds; Re\'eal to me each unsuspected sin, The pride and selfishness which lurk within, Show me what germs of good to cultivate, 'Yhat feeble spark of lite to animate; Show me myself, as I 8m known to Thee, And then, Lord, manifest thyself to me. Show me thy love, thy rich, abounding grace, That J....lvitb vision clear, thy work may trace; May hear Thee speaking when life's storms are high, Or see Thee mirrored in the starry sky, Show me thy purity, that, in its light, Sin may, appear re\'olting to my sight. Show me thy wisdom, thine "eternal power, Mighty to guide and shield in danger's hour; Show me Thyself-my Father-Saviour, Friend, Gracious, forgiving, loving to the end. This, Lord, my fervent, constant prayer shall be, Hdp me to know and understand myself and Thee.

to add a few words abou't the origin of the work in conne c-

tion with Divine Healing in this city, and some of the case, I have knowll. As I have already stated in the former chapter, one of the pledges I made to the Lord in connection with my own healing was that I would use this truth and my experience of it for the good of others, as He should require and lcad me. This meant a good deal for me, for I had a great deal of conservative respectability and regard for my ecclesi. astical reputation to die to. I knew intuitively what it might cost to be wholly true in this matter, and at the sallle time I shrank unutterably from the thought of having to pray with any one else for healing. I feared so much that I should involve God's name in" dishonor by claiming what might not come to pass, and I almost hoped that I might not have to minister personally in this matter, and was intensely glad that there were other brethren whom God had alrready raised up for this work, and I should gladly strength en their hands. My first public testimony to tha trnth ill this city, made in the course of llo sermo9 .10 mX own people, then a .

Limiting God. II. Kings 13:18, 1\}; II. Kings 5:1, 2. THE power that God has given to . man whIch God recognizes in his dealings with man in Psalm 78; Numbers 14:11, is that they limited the Holy One of Israel. The attitude of the human heart to God mayor IDay not limit the devel ment of God's power. The attitude of unbelief limits; tbe attitude of faith does not limit. Abraham limited the power of God in mercy to the cities of the plains. W hen he asked God to spare the people if there were fifty righteous. He continued asking until he descended to ten, and then ceatred to ask withont. any indication from God that his merciful power would not even descend lower than ten. Abraham ceased to intercede when he reached the limit of his faith in the mercy of God. Tn the tt'xt ,Joash limited the vie tori,)lJs power of God by smiting three times when he -ought to ha\'e smitten five or six times. How so.))} we grow weary in pro\-ing God! 2. The reason why man limits the develo]Jull'ns of G'od'~ ]Jower is because he judges God by hiJmelf, and God is not as man [Isaiah 40: 18 28; 46:5; Nil Ill. :!:UH, 20.] Men of faith suffer because of the unbelief of their companions, though God always reo wards them in the end. Caleb and Joshua endured the wonderings of Israel in the wildernesR, though had sufficient faith to enter the promised land. Long afterward God brought them in. Moses at the rock, Peter walking npon the water in obedience to the Lord's "Come," fixed his eyes upon the boisterous wind and sank; teaching us that faith always weakens wheu we
