r that never-failing treasure
Supplies and fills in overflowing measure
My last and greatest need. And so
Thy grace is enough for me.

It is so sweet to trust Thy word alone!
I do not ask to see
The unveiling of Thy purpose, or the shining
Of future light on mysteries untwining;
Thy promise-roll is all my own--
Thy word is enough for me.

There were strange soul-depths, restless, vast, and broad,
Unfathomed as the sea,
An infinite craving for some infinite stilling;
But now Thy perfect love is perfect filling!
Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord, my God,
Thou, Thou art enough for me!"

CHAPTER II.

POWER "IN" AND "UPON."

You remember that strange, half-involuntary "forty years" of Moses in
the "wilderness" of Midian, when he had fled from Egypt. You remember,
too, the almost equally strange years of retirement in "Arabia" by
Paul, when, if ever, humanly speaking, instant action was needed. And
pre-eminently you remember the amazing charge of the ascending Lord to
the disciples, "Tarry at Jerusalem." Speaking after the manner of men,
one could not have wondered if out-spoken Peter, or fervid James had
said: "Tarry, Lord! How long?" "Tarry, Lord! is there not a perishing

but wait for the promise of the Father." (Acts 1:4.)--_Grosart_.

POWER--"IN" AND "UPON."

THE Holy Spirit dwelling in us, is one thing; I think this is clearly
brought out in Scripture; and the Holy Spirit upon us for service, is
another thing. Now there are only three places we find in Scripture
that are dwelling-places for the Holy Ghost.

In the 40th chapter of Exodus, commencing with the 33d verse, are
these words:

"And he (that is Moses) reared up the court round about the tabernacle
and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses
finished the work.

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of
the Lord filled the tabernacle.

And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation,
because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the
tabernacle."

The moment that Moses finished the work, the moment that the
tabernacle was ready, the cloud came, the Shekinah glor
