connected in Virginia.

l hear men praying everywhere for
more faith, but when I listen to them
carefully and get at the real heart of
their prayers, very often it is not more
faith at all that they are wanting, but
a change from faith to sight. What
shall I do with this sorrow that God
has sent met" take it up and bear
it, and get a strength aud blessing out
OF it. "Ah, If | only knew what bless
ing there were in it. il I saw no it
would help me, then I could bear it
like a plumeI" "What shall | do with
this hard, hateful duty which Christ
has laid right in my wayG' Do it,
and grow by doing IT," ''Ah, yes; il I
could only sac that it would make me
grow" In both thesO cases do you not
see that what you are be gging for is
not more faith, although you think 1T
is, but sight. You want to see for
yourself the blessing in the sorrow,
the strength in the hard and hateful
task. Faith says not, Il see that iG is
good for me, aud so Gid must have
sent It." but &c d sent it, and 80 it
must be good for me-" Faith walking
