Prayer Is An Ordinance Of God, That Must Continue With A Soul So Long As It Is On This Side Glory.

The Covetous Man Feareth Not God. This Also Is Plain From The Word Because It Setteth Covetousness And The Fear Of God In Direct Opposition. Men That Fear God Are Said To Hate Covetousness, Exod. Xviii. 21. Besides The Covetous Man Is Called An Idolater And Is Said To Have No Part In The Kingdom Of Christ And Of God, Col. Iii. 5.

Hope Has A Thick Skin And Will Endure Many A Blow; It Will Put On Patience As A Vestment And Will Endure All Things (if They Be Of The Right Kind) For The Joy That Is Set Before It.

A Comely Sight Indeed It Is To See, A World Of Blossoms On An Apple Tree.
