IN these days of peril, when men's faces are growing pale before the possibilities and probabilities of the immediate future, the real Christian has perfect peace. There are many professors of Christianity who do not enjoy this peace, but it is because they do not have a personal acquaintance with the Author of salvation. If we really know Christ, if we have genuine Christianity, and not a counterfeit, we can have no fear; for He who is the Protector of the Christian, “hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance.” His power is so great that He says “the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, He taketh up the isles as a very little thing. . . . All nations before Him are as nothing; and they are counted to Him less than nothing, and vanity.” Isa. 40: 12-17.
