He that cometh to God must believe. — HEB. xi. 6.

If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. — MARK ix. 23.

WHAT inexhaustible possibilities lie in faith! God himself is the unseen author of the visible universe, and it was by faith that the worlds were framed, so that things that are seen were not made of things that do appear.

In the sublime galaxy woven with divine hand all in and through the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, the light that shines from every star is faith.

It was this that carried Noah across the flood. It was this that gave strength to Moses to deliver the people of God from Egypt, to train them in the wilderness, and to transfer them to the Promised Land. It was this that enabled Israel to hold to the hope of the promise until Jesus came. This animated the feeble few of Galilee to carry the gospel to the perishing world. This is the power by which every sainted Christian has triumphed in life and in death and entered home at last. Our blessed Saviour is himself the author and the finisher of faith.

"If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."

Lord, I believe; but oft I know

My faith is cold and weak.

My weakness strengthen, and bestow

The confidence I seek.
