Sweetness of Christian Union.
By A. P. Covey
I THANK God that I was ever brought in contact with those whom I esteem as the true people of God. There are none whose society I prize as much as those who receive the gospel in its simplicity, and are striving to avail themselves of its blessings by living in conformity to the requirements of God’s law. And since it is such a precious privilege to mingle here where there is so much to mar the pleasure of meeting, and to interrupt our communion, what will it be when we meet where the dimming veil is withdrawn, and we are permitted to see eye to eye and speak heart to heart? Even now, with an eye of faith, aided by the light of prophecy, are we enabled to antedate that day, and to realize that “A few more rolling suns at most,
And we shall reach fair Canaan’s coast,
Where we shall part no more.”
