Miss Binney.

I have had such a poor sense of my service that I can hardly understand its being rated so highly by others. I have only endeavoured to set before the saints the scheme of divine counsel in Christ, and their part in it, and this in a very feeble way, if they have been helped the praise is due to the Lord and not to me, as to myself I know not what will be, it is hidden from me. In many ways I should be thankful to be left here for a season, but the doctors say the mischief is progressive, and if this be so the Lord alone can interfere, and I can only say ‘The will of the Lord be done’.
