It was he whose trial abounded, who had suffered the loss of all things, who wrote the triumphant words: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors,"-not through our love to Him, but "through Him that loved us." Let us firmly grasp this truth, and beholding, we shall reflect this joy of the Lord, and be able, not merely at some times, but at all times, to "rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory."
