have found it with increased brightness and glory. If you have
lost it, my brother, look up in faith to your loving God, and He
will restore it to you. It is possible to live on the right side
of plain duty without the witness, but you cannot be sure of your
salvation, joyful in service, or glad in God, without it; and
since it is promised to all God's children, no one who professes
to be His should be without it.

If you have it not, my brother or sister, seek it now by faith in
Jesus. Go to Him, and do not let Him go till He notifies you that
you are His. Listen to Charles Wesley:--

"From the world of sin, and noise,
And hurry, I withdraw;
For the small and inward voice
I wait with humble awe;
Silent am I now and still,
Dare not in Thy presence move;
To my waiting soul reveal
The secret of Thy love."

Do you want the witness to abide? Then study the word of God, and
live by it; sing and make melody in your heart to the Lord;
praise the Lord with your first waking breath in the morning, and
thank Him with your last waking breath at night; flee from sin;
keep on believing; look to Jesus, cleave to Him, follow Him
gladly, trust the efficacy of His blood, and the witness will
abide in your heart. Be patient with the Lord. Let Him mould you,
and "He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will
rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing" (Zeph. iii.
