WATCH-WORDS; OR, NEW-YEAR ADDRESSES. BY LORD POLWARTH. SECOND EDITION, ENLARGED. KELSO: J. & J. H. RUTHERFURD, 20, SQUARE. 1 8 8 2. 100. f.252 ACH New Year's experience, E with its joys and sorrows, its changes and trials, renders more precious to us the faithfulness and and tender love of Him who saith: I know their sorrows. The glimpses of a nearing eternity which are given to us again and again in times of personal trial, or by the sickbeds of the dying, may well make us cling to the " sure mercies" of our God, and abide ever in the clefts of the "Rock of Ages." Still the Lord Jesus bids the "far off come near," and bids those whom He hath brought from "darkness to light" "go forward," sustains their "life," "illuminates" their path, gives them the joy of fellowship in His "work," lifts their downcast hearts to the "things above," leads them into "rest," and assures them of His own speedy return, the Church's "great expectation." |
