Longing For Peace.

You say that for many years you
have been praying and longing for
peace and abiding rest of soul. and
that It has somttimes come for a
while, and then has gone, leaving you
darker than before; and yet you do
not know anything in your life TO
keep you from God. You are tall
unconsciously) resting in feelings, not
in faith. Remember that the true or
der of the Christian life is-first,
Gods facts about Christ as our, per-
sonal Saviour; second. our faith in
Christ; and then, and only then,
thirdly, our feelings or experience as
the result of our faith in God. Now.
IL we reverse this order we get into
spiritual difficulty and depression. II
is sometimes said that for one look at
self we should take ten looks at
Christ. / would rather say that we
should not look at self at all, but be
ever occupied with Christ. Rest alb
solutely in Gods Word, and keep in
that attitude Of trust, whether you
have any delightful feelings or not.
If, as you say, there is nothing Of sin
between you and God, just rest abso-
lutely upon His Word; and as you
cling by simple faith to His sure
promises, abiding peace will surely
come. Joy and peace in believing.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
pether. and until the last few years was sup.
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
