SABBATH EVE.

By Mary M. Faulkner

BY MRS. MARY M. FAULKNER.
The most pleasant part of all the week is the hour just before the commencement of the Sabbath,—the time when all are in readiness, and waiting for its blessed approach. What an appropriate moment to review, in some place of retirement, our life for the six days just passed, and while pouring forth the soul to God in prayer, to ask help that wherever we have failed, we may do better in the future. The privilege of asking divine aid is truly a most exalted one, and it is one that we may enjoy only while Jesus is our mediator. Then how careful we should be, that we may gain victories daily, and make improvement in the divine life each week, that we may be fitted for the “finishing touch of immortality.”
And as we are now waiting weekly for the holy Sabbath, so may we at last be ready and waiting for the coming of our blessed Saviour.
