It was with a young man a day of seeking, and he entered a little sanctuary, and heard a sermon from "Look unto Me, and be ye saved." He obeyed the Lord's command, and "He blessed him there." Soon after, he made a profession of faith before many witnesses, declaring his consecration to the Lord, and "He blessed him there." Anon he began to labor for the Lord in little rooms among a few people, and "He blessed him there." His opportunities enlarged, and by faith he ventured upon daring things for the Lord's sake, and "He blessed him there." A household grew about him, and, together with his loving wife, he tried to train his children in the fear of the Lord, and "He blessed him there." Then came sharp and frequent trial, and he was in pain and anguish; but the Lord "blessed him there." This is that man's experience all along, from the day of his conversion to this hour:up hill and down dale, his path has been a varied one ; but for every part of his pilgrimage he can praise the Lord, for "He Messed him there."-(Spurgeon)
