Faith.

By Joseph Clarke

SAVING faith seeks first the things of God; It reaches out after a world lying in gloom and sin. It mourns in secret places for the evil existing in the world. It is willing to sacrifice for right, and truth, and for God, and for others. Other kinds of faith may be good, but they are too weak to regenerate the character.
“Lord, increase our faith,” said one to Jesus; that was a sensible prayer. Skepticism is want of faith; if the skeptic would pray this prayer, instead of getting up scarecrows for weak souls, he would be far more sensible, and would do great good. JOSEPH CLARKE.
