nd_ the more shall you understand alike the needs of the human
heart (of which all individual hearts are but various instances), and
the supplies that are laid up for all its needs in Him. And so you
shall go out among your people armed, equipped, with a truly
heaven-given sympathy and tact. True personal intercourse with the Lord,
the very closest and deepest, is the very thing to open the whole man
out for others, and to teach him how, with a loving intuition, to look
into them and "upon their things." [Phil. ii. 4.]

A HYMN.

In the next Chapter I shall speak a little more about the young
Clergyman's secret devotion, and secret study of the heavenly Word. But
enough for the present. And let me close with the quotation of a
hymn,[1] a new friend of mine, but already a very dear one, and
thankfully added to the treasures of memory. It puts in the simplest
form possible, while in a form most beautiful, the vital truth that
"intercourse with God is the power for holy service." Happy the young
Clergyman whose secret daily life, from its beginning in the "Morning
Watch," on through the intercourse and energies of the day, up to the
evening hour of weariness and repose, is a translation into experience
of that blessed hymn.

"TELL HIM ALL."

"When thou wakest in the morning,
Ere thou tread the untried way
Of the lot that lies before thee
Through the coming busy day;
Whether sunbeams promise brightness,
Whether dim forebodings fall,
Be thy dawning glad or gloomy,
Go to Jesus--tell Him all!

"In the calm of sweet communion
Let thy daily work be done;
In the peace of soul out-pouring
Care be banish'd, patience won
And if earth with its enchantments
Seek thy spirit to enthral,
Ere thou listen, ere thou answer--
Turn to Jesus--tell Him all!

"Then, as hour by hour glides by thee,
Thou wilt blessed guidance know;
Thine own burthens being lighten'd,
Thou canst bear another's woe;
Thou canst help the weak ones onward;
Thou canst raise up those that fall;
But, remember, while thou servest,
Still tell Jesus--tell Him all!

"And if weariness creep o'er thee
As the day wears to its close,
Or if sudden fierce temptation
Bring thee face to face with foes--
In thy weakness, in thy peril,
Raise to heaven a truthful call;
STRENGTH AND CALM FOR
