e voice of Jesus say,
'Come unto Me, and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down,
Thy head upon My breast.'
I came to Jesus as I was--
Weary, and worn, and sad,
I found in Him a resting-place,
And He has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'Behold, I freely give
The living water--thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live.'
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'I am this dark world's Light:
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright.'
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that Light of life I'll walk
Till traveling days are done."

GOSPEL DIALOGUES.

I.--MR. MOODY AND REV. MARCUS RAINSFORD.

WHAT IT IS TO BE A CHILD OF GOD.

MR. MOODY--What is it to be a child of God? What is the first step?

Rev. M. Rainsford--Well, sir, I am a child of God when I become
united to the Son of God. The Son of God prayed that all who
believed upon Him should be one with Him, as He was one with the
Father. Believing on Jesus, I receive Him, and become united to Him;
I become, as it were, a member of his Body. I am an heir of God, a
joint-heir with Christ.

Mr. M.--What is the best definition of Faith?

Mr. R.--Trust in the Son of God, as the Saviour He has given to us.
Simple trust, not only in a creed, but in a Person. I trust my soul
to Him. I trust the keeping of my soul to Him. God has promised that
whosoever trusts Him, mercy shall compass him on every side.

Mr. M.--Does not the Scripture say that the devils believe?

Mr. R.--They believe the truth, do they not? They believe that Jesus
was manifested to destroy them; and they "tremble." I wish we
believed as truly and as fully that God sent His Son into the world
to save us.

Mr. M.--What is it to "trust?"

Mr. R.--I take it to mean four things:

(1) Believing on Christ: that is, taking Him at His Word.

(2) Hoping in Christ: that is, expecting help from Him, according to
His Word.

(3) Relying on Christ: That is, resting on Him for the times, and
ways, and circumstances in which He may be pleased to fulfill His
promises according to His Word.

(4) Waiting on Christ: that is, _continuing_ to do so,
notwithstanding delay, darkness, barrenness, perplexi
