JUNE 6TH, 1903

Mr. H. Allen.

I suppose that if, humanly speaking, things take their course, my stay here will be cut short. It is a trial to me in measure to have no more opportunity to serve the saints, but this must be ruled by the will of the ^[p. 206] Lord. It is a great thing to have followed the ark of the covenant over Jordan, for it is there, on the ground of resurrection, that every purpose of God must be fulfilled, and if this be the case it makes the article of death far less terrible. One sees Christ at the other side, ready to welcome those who pass over. The passage is but narrow.. .. I think I can witness to the sustaining grace of the Lord amid my present weakness.. .. It is wonderful how grace can sustain in the appropriate moment.
