By voluntary self-surrender of His believing people. II. THIS HERITAGE UPON EARTH IS OFTEN EXPOSED TO THE EXHAUSTING INFLUENCE OF TRIAL AND DISCOURAGEMENT. 1. The length of the way. 2. Open enemies. 3. False friends. 4. Delay of harvest, and fear of final loss. III. GOD IS AT NO LOSS FOR MEANS AND INSTRUMENTS TO REFRESH AND REPLENISH HIS CHURCH IN CRITICAL SEASONS. 1. These promised influences are timely and seasonable. 2. They are copious and abundant 3. They are fertilizing and vitally influential. (Homiletic Magazine.)
