On Prince Edward Island so that he could say boldly before the enemies of the Lord, "One thing I know, whereas I was blind now I see"? What a blessing was here conferred: both temporal and spiritual sight. Did he not say to the man with the palsy who was brought to him upon a couch, "Man thy sins are forgiven thee"? Here too was a double blessing: his bodily disease healed and his sins forgiven. When Christ confers a blessing, he blesses really and effectually; yea, he confers present and perpetual blessings. "In him men shall be blessed and all nations shall call him blessed." Thirdly. He blesses Spiritually; not merely with temporal good things such as food and raiment, but with such blessings as are suited to the soul, as enliven the soul, enrich the soul, purify and refine the soul, and fit it for spiritual exercises, enjoyment and employment, full and free pardon, justification, spiritual life, the glorious liberty of the children of God and a title to heaven. "I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish." In one word, he says, in effect, with present and perfect salvation I will save you in Jehovah, your God . "Look unto me all ends of the earth and be ye saved." Now what a privilege is this spiritual blessing. Have we that spiritual blessing that enlightens, converts, and saves the soul? Dear hearer, examine yourself, put your soul to the test, cry unto the Lord, "Search me, O God , and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting." 267
