LOVE HIS APPEARING.

To rejoice in a visit from a friend shows a former communion and intimacy which cannot be felt for a stranger; and to really rejoice in the coming of our Lord, we must every day hold intimate communion with him, and study his perfect character, as presented in the Bible; his love toward us that passeth knowledge, and finally, the presentation of himself to our mental vision in all his personal loveliness. If this close communion continues from day to day, from year to year, would it not be a delightful surprise to behold him with our natural eyes, and know he had come to take us to our beautiful home and our glorious crown, to be forever with him? —Guide to Holiness.
