heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure
water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
for he is faithful that promised.' Hebrews 10:8-23; 8:10. Again, 'The
Lord sware, and will not repent; thou art a priest for ever after the
order of Melchizedek. By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better
testament; because he continueth ever, and hath an unchangeable
priesthood. Wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that
come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for
them,' Heb. 7:21-25. 'Christ glorified not himself to be made a
high-priest, but He that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I
begotten thee; as he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest
for ever after the order of Melchizedek.' Heb. 5:5, 6. 'For the law
maketh men high-priests which have infirmity; but the word of the
oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for
evermore.' Heb. 7:28. 'The word which God sent unto the children of
Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: He is Lord of all. How God
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who
went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the
devil; for God was with him. To him give all the prophets witness,
that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive
remission of sins.'" Acts 10:36-38, 43.

shortly after of consumption.

To Miss Van Wyck, New York.

"ROCKAWAY, 1810.

"MY DEAR, MY BELOVED ELIZA--Mr. and Mrs. B---- are here on a
visit for one night. I did not expect to see them so soon, or I would
have had a letter ready. I expect another opportunity in the course of
a few days, when I will send you a long letter, from my heart, and, I
hope, dictated by your and my Teacher.

"I learn by my children that you continue much in the same way in
which I left you. It is your own God who mixes your cup, and it is to
you a cup of blessing; there is no curse in it. Your Jesus drank that
cup to the very dregs, that bitter as well as sweet might be to you a
cup of blessing. O then, my darling, hold fast by your Redeemer: he is
the Lord your righteousness, and the Lord your strength; he con
