"Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways and see and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein and ye shall find rest to your souls." "Ever sanctify therefore in your hearts," as the Apostle Peter directs, " Christ Jesus the Lord and be always ready to give an answer to every man that asketh of you a good reason of the hope that is in you." And may the Father of lights and the God of all grace himself so bless to your hearts and mind the study of his own divine word that you may all be en¬ abled not only to find the right way, but to walk with perfect heart and willing mind fearlessly, steadily and consistently therein. Remember, not¬ withstanding all we have now said, that even al¬ though anyone of you should belong to the most faultlessly regulated and most perfectly governed church on earth, and yet not really yourself be a member of the only true church of God whose names are written in heaven, such a mere formal church connection can avail you nothing whatever in the great clay of accounts, when the Lord Jesus shall come in person to be glorified in his holy angels and in all his true and genuine followers among mankind. See to it then, without delay, that your names are all written in the Lamb's Book of Life, and that you are fully ready at any moment 212
