LETTERS. 267

with all the strength which He has given me in this strug
gle, for which he has prepared me. His Spirit will show
me the manner aud the time.

With child-like love and confidence I shall follow His
guidance. The peace and happiness which I have enjoyed
during the past summer, spent in the home of my childhood
and youth, are deeply connected with and have their roots
in, the presentinient that here, where my life developed its
first buds in happiness and in affliction, it will produce its
last, and I hope with God’s help, its ripest fruit,

Arsra, 20th September, 1865.

Well may the devout who rest upon the heart of Christ,
“thank God that they do not feel the desire to inquire into
those things which God has hidden from us, and which
shall never be made clear to us on this side of the grave ;”
for they rest safely in His love; but they whom God has
called to combat with the weapons of thought for light, and
against darkness and shadows ; to distinguish between what
is divine and what is human; they who believe witli St.
Paul, that “the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep
things of God,” and that man can and shall, step by step,
be brought to love and praise God” with all his heart, with
all his soul and with all his mind” (or thoughts), with all
his powers, and therefore also with all the strength of the
intellect and reason with which He has endowed him;
also they can thank Him that they have got a talent to de-
vote to His service and to His glorification.
