The richer falls Thy dew of grace,

The humbler let my head descend,

Till mercy’s sun in boundless space

Shall shed its bliss, time without end.

John Jay Adams.

PREACHING.

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

And how shall they preach, except they be sent.—Romans, x. 14, 15.

For, after that in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.—I. Corinthians, i. 21.
