Then look within, and there you find
A spirit of a different kind;

Which makes you humbly fall and cry,
"What is my name?" and "What am I?"

66 Why should the Lord thus look on me,
And set me from earth's idols free?"
Yet all the reason you can know
Is, that the Lord will have it so.

You were no better than the rest,
And yet the Lord your soul has blest;
He's sovereign in His workings still;
He saves and pardons whom He will.
And should not His dear saints, I say,
His just and righteous laws obey?
Should they despise the watery flood,
When Christ for them was bathed in blood?

Oh, that I could more honour show
To Him to whom all praise is due !
But ah! my heart's a sink of sin;
None know what evils dwell therein.

I, like Ezekiel, have to turn,
More hateful things to see and mourn;
Such awful things within me dwell,
Yea, vile as Satan, black as hell!

Nor can I from these evils part,
They are so rooted in my heart;
As one once said, "So close is sin,
One could as easy leave his skin."
I find that you no better grow—
That is, you don't consider so;
But as you grow in grace you'll see
That self must lose its dignity.
Thus Jesus gets Himself the crown,
And casts proud self and nature down;
He takes poor souls, deserving hell,
With Him in endless bliss to dwell.

Now may the Lord your footsteps guide,
For you in providence provide ;
May you His care and wisdom see,

So prays your unknown friend—E. C.

I NEVER read of but one man who lived on Christ as I would wish to live on Him for myself; and he said, "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live." This saying was too much, therefore he corrects himself "Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me."-Romaine.

MR. GEO. THOS. CONGREVE'S NEW WORK ON

CONSUMPTION, CHRONIC BRONCHITIS, COUGH, & OTHER CHEST DISEASES,

POST FREE for 6d., or LARGE EDITION (bound in cloth), 18.3d., from ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, or from the AUTHOR, COOMBE LODGE, PECKHAM, S.E.

The following MOST INTERESTING AND REMARKABLE CASE is thus commented upon by the Christian Globe."

From the CHRISTIAN GLOBE, December 27 :

"THE CURE OF CONSUMPTION.

"THAT this terrible malady, so constantly declared to be incurable by medical men of allgrades, is amenable to judicious treatment, is a fact to be hailed with joy and gratitude by thousands. The subject is one of intense interest, for there is scarcely a person but has, or has had, some friend or relative suffering from this insidious disease.

"The world is much indebted to Mr. G. T. CONGREVE for his discovery of a successful treatment of Consumption. Well authenticated cases of cure continue to appear weekly in this and other journals. We believe them to be perfectly reliable.

66

We are pleased to call attention to a case which has come under our own personal knowledge. The young lady referred to in the following account was sent to Mr. C. by the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, many of whose students and members have been benefited by Mr. Congreve's treatment.

On

"When Miss F. C. visited Mr. Congreve she had been ill for two years, during which time Consumption had been stealing upon her. The symptoms commenced with pain in the upper lobe of the right lung, followed by laborious breathing, rapid loss of flesh and strength, cough hard, expectoration difficult. examination, 'the apex of right lung diseased.' The patient was under treatment for eleven months, during which time she paid nearly monthly visits to Coombe Lodge, and the examinations from time to time gave evidence of gradual and steady improvement. There were certain symptoms of nervous debility, hysteria, and occasional congestion that required some special treatment, in addition to Mr. Congreve's usual remedies, but, 'in about twelve months, she became thoroughly well.' In process of time, this patient married, and is now the mother of a fine, healthy boy. Her husband, in a letter to Mr. C., brimful of kindly expressions of gratitude, and which is dated November 11, 1883, says:

666

'You will remember the case of Miss F. C., who was in a sad state of Consumption, and who is now my wife. You may remember her case caused me deep anxiety. You have been so thoroughly successful in restoring her to health, by God's blessing, we consider it our duty to write you and thank you for your great kindness to her, &c., &c.-J. CHAPMAN, 41, Leipsic Road, Camberwell.'

"The reader of this who has any interest in the matter should obtain Mr. Congreve's book (the largest edition, in cloth, for 15 stamps), which may be had, post free, from his professional residence, Coombe Lodge, Peckham, S.E.

"With such evidence as this book affords, and that which is weekly brought before the public, none need despair."

Note.-Mr. Congreve's Son-in-law, J. ALEX. BROWN, M.R.C.S.. L.8.A., is now associated with him.
