haven toward which he has been steering. How has he found his way
over the trackless deep? He has trusted in his compass, his
nautical almanac, his glass, and the heavenly bodies; and obeying
their guidance, without sighting land, he has steered so
accurately that he has not to change a point to enter into port.
It is a wonderful thing--that sailing or steaming without sight.
Spiritually it is a blessed thing to leave altogether the shores
of sight and feeling, and to say, "Good-by" to inward feelings,
cheering providences, signs, tokens, and so forth. It is glorious
to be far out on the ocean of divine love, believing in God, and
steering for Heaven straight away by the direction of the Word of
God. "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have
believed"; to them shall be administered an abundant entrance at
the last, and a safe voyage on the way. Will not my reader put
his trust in God in Christ Jesus. There I rest with joyous
confidence. Brother, come with me, and believe our Father and our
Saviour. Come at once.
