MY DEAR Miss —, — ... One cannot have anything better down here than the love of the saints; it is the one green spot amidst the desert waste of this world. And it is not only a solace and support to us, but it is precious fruit for God as being in correspondence with Himself. What a scene of holy enjoyment it will be when there will be nothing present but what is the outcome of the divine nature! “When we shall flow, in love’s full glow, with hearts like Thine surrounded”.

I have been sorry to hear of increased weakness of body on your part, but I pray that you may be sustained continually so that your spirit may be in restful enjoyment of the love of the Father and the Son. We have been subjects of divine choice and calling, or we should never have known God in His love. And He will carry through, and perfect, all that pertains to the accomplishment of His purpose. Not even our unfaithfulness — of which we are often conscious — can change or turn aside His faithfulness. For all centred in Christ before ^[p. 214] the foundation of the world, and all will remain secured for God, and for the saints, in Christ when the world has passed away. So that faith can lift up her head with confidence and triumph and give God all the praise of His sovereign mercy and love.

With much love in the Lord and many thanks,

Yours affectionately in Him,

December 29th, 1932.
