for of such is the kingdom of heaven;" and, though He is now in heaven, He is likewise near to you, for His presence and power fill both heaven and earth. Believe this upon the word of your papa and mamma. They will both tell you so, and by-andbye you will understand it better yourself. Be assured that, though you cannot see Him, He sees you at all times and in all places, whether you are sitting or walking, at home or abroad, by night or by day, alone or in company. You need not be afraid of Him, for He is very gracious, and it is by His good providence that you are preserved from a thousand dangers, to which you are always liable. Pray to Him, therefore, my dear Miss Jean-that is, speak to Him as if you saw Him with your own eyes, and He will surely hear you. The prayer of a child is as pleasing to Him as the prayer of a king. And, when king. And, when you take up the Bible and read, think that you hear Him speaking to you, for it is all His Word, and if He were to speak to you with a loud voice in thunder, He would say no other than what you may read. He would tell you that you are a sinner, and stand in need of His help; and that, if you seek to Him, He is ready and willing to help you.

If you believe this, you will be unwilling to displease Him by angry words or wrong tempers; you will take care to observe the Lord's Day; you will hear your papa preach with all the attention you can, and you will love your brothers and sisters, and, indeed, everybody, and be obedient to your parents, because the Lord Jesus has commanded you so to do. If you go to Him in this way, as you increase in years and stature, you will increase (as He did) in wisdom and in favour with God and with man. The Lord will guide and bless you. This is my prayer and hope for you. I shall not be willing to think that I have written you a long letter to no purpose. Give my love to Miss Charlotte, and all your brothers and sisters. Believe me to be, Your affectionate friend,

London, September 28th,

CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS' COURAGE.-Cromwell's Ironsides were men that had the fear of God before them and made some conscience of what they did. They were always victorious. They went into battle praying and singing Psalms. Their watchword was, "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge." Every soldier had his pocket Bible of select texts for soldiers, and the soul of many a godly man was fed, strengthened, and encouraged by the Word of God. May we in our daily warfare experience like refreshments through a spiritual intercourse with Christ in the Scriptures of truth.

CONSUMPTION

AND ALL LUNG DISEASES.

By G. T. CONGREVE, Coombe Lodge, Peckham. The Nature, Progress, and True Treatment of this Scourge of England, with 133 Selected Cases.

The following are from the TENTH SERIES of CASES :ANOTHER CASE (THIRD) REPORTED by Mr. C. CLARKE, STEAM PRINTING WORKS, HAYWARD'S HEATH, Sussex. [Two cases were given (reported by Mr. C.) last month.]

Mr. Clarke writes as follows:-"MR. JOHN CHEALE, of BURGESS HILL, was given up in the Winter of 1883 as an incurable case of consumption. I advised him to adopt your treatment, and he has been restored to health and strength."

Disease commenced with "severe cold, pains in the back and shoulders, phlegm mixed with blood. Then cough became violent, causing the rupture of a vessel. Profuse green expectoration followed, and often was mixed with blood. Breathing difficult, night sweats came on, distressing palpitation, loss of flesh over all the body. Two doctors reported the right lung much diseased, the left also affected." (Ordered medicine three times a day, with honey and lemon-juice, cod-liver oil if found to digest well, sponging and use of liniment.)

66

In one month there was much improvement; cough much better, comfortable nights, able to walk about." In another two months the patient was "able to go to work."

Considering the state of this patient when commencing my treatment, the recovery was remarkably rapid and gratifying indeed!

CASE of BRONCHO-PHTHISIS-WILLIAM HOPKINS,

ALVEDISTON, SALISBURY.

This patient, in requesting me to publish his case for the good of others, says: "Any one doubting the fact of my recovery, and of my sister,* can apply to me with stamped addressed envelope."

Eighteen months, or thereabouts, before writing the above, W. H. came to Coombe Lodge. Examined by Dr. Brown in my absence. "Upper lobe of right lung diseased, the left weak."

He had been ill for nine months, bronchitis first, with subsequent relapses. Had been under four doctors previous to this. The disease had now begun to affect the structure of the lungs.

After six months' correspondence (once or twice per month), and following my advice during that time, he again came. "Much better in condition of the lungs. Cough gone; much stronger. Had gained 14 lbs. in flesh."

In the letter quoted above, W. H. adds: "For the last three months I have been as well as I ever have been, or wish to be. When I came to you I was only a frame of what I had been. My warmest thanks to you and Dr. Brown for your most kind attention to my case, which has been the means of preserving my life." * N.B.-The sister of this patient [to whom he alludes] was affected similarly, but to a less degree, and speedily recovered.

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