The Soul's Rest.

HEAVEN is the very element, and Christ is the center of every gracious soul; heaven only is the breathing place, and Christ only is the resting place; there is the place of its respiration, and here is the seat of its repose: it cannot live out of that element, and it cannot rest out of this center. It is always struggling till it gets to heaven; always roving till it comes to Christ. Return unto thy rest. O my soul, said David; Lord, let me draw no breath, out of that which I fetch from heaven; and never let me rest till I rest in thee.—Sel.
