no locality, and Christ was taken up to heaven, that, in the power of
God, of the omnipresent God, He might be able to fill every individual
here and be with every individual believer.

That is what my heart wants to realize by faith; that is a possibility,
that is a promise, that is my birthright, and I want to have it, and I
want by the grace of God to say, "Jesus, I will not rest until Thou hast
revealed Thyself fully to my soul."

There are often very blessed experiences in the Christian life in what I
call the third stage--the stage of the burning heart. Do you know what
another great mark of that stage is? Delight in God's word. How did the
disciples get their burning hearts? By that strange opening of the
Scripture to them. He made it all look different,--new,--and they saw
what they had never seen before. They could not help feeling,

_How wonderful_,

how heavenly was that teaching. Oh! there are many Christians who find
the best time of the day is the time when they can get with their
Bibles, and who love nothing so much as to get a new thought; and as a
diamond digger rejoices when he has found a diamond, or a gold digger
when he has found a nugget, they delight when they get from the Bible
some new thought, and they feed upon it. Yet with all that interest in
God's word, and with all that stirring of the heart with joy, when they
go into business or attend to their daily duties, there is still
something wanting.

We must come away from all the manifold and multifarious blessings that
Jesus can bestow from time to time, to the blessed unity of that
one--that Jesus makes Himself known, Jesus Himself is willing to make
Himself known. Oh! if I were to ask, "Is not this just what you and I
want, and what many of us have been longing for?" I am sure you would
answer,

"_That is what I want._"

Think what the blessedness will be that comes from it. You often sing:--

"Oh! the peace my Saviour gives!
Peace I never knew before,
And my way has brighter grown,
Since I've learnt to trust Him more."

I recently had a letter from some one in the Free State saying what a
wonderful comfort and strength that little verse was in the midst of
difficulties and troubles. Yes; but how can that peace be kept? It was
the presence of Christ that brought the peace. When the storm was
threatening to swallow up the disciples, it was the presence of Christ
Himself that gave the peace.

Oh! Christian, do you want
