Luke 8:, 9:, 10:, we see, as our Evangelist tells us, that the Lord " went throughout every city and village." No spot was unvisited by His light and goodness. And this divine Minister of grace is attended by a suitable train. A company who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities follow Him now to witness of disgrace; as, by and by, when He comes forth in power, He will have behind Him an equally suited train of shining ones to reflect His glory.

The case of the widow of Nain, is one so tenderly affecting the human heart, that it properly lies under the notice of the Spirit in Luke. For in the style of one who was looking at man and his sorrows and affections, our Evangelist tells us, that the young man who had died " was the only son of his mother, and she was a widow;" and again when the Lord raised him to life, that" He delivered him to his mother." Would that we caught more of the same tender spirit, while delighting at the discovery of it in Jesus. J.G.B.
