This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... THE SOUL'S REST. "Ye shall find rest unto your souls."--Matthew Xi. 29. The rest of a soul is a very peculiar thing; it is what we should call movement. The rest of a body is sleep, because its work becomes a. weariness. The rest of a rolling ball is stillness, because it loses its energy as it goes. But the rest of a soul is motion, because repose is foreign to it. One of our poets has said, "The soul is dead that slumbers; " and it is true. The weariest moment of a soul is its torpor.

Soar to the joy of thy heart--the man Christ Jesus! Soar to the light of thy waking, the object of thy dreams! Soar, though thou come not up with Him to-day, nor to-morrow, nor, perhaps, for many morrows! Soar, though the wind be high, though the mist be thick upon the hills! If thou shalt only rise far enough, the mist will vanish, and the...
