Large petitions with thee bring; For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much.”
We must not forget, however, that in spiritual things not only need, but capacity, limit the amount of blessing to be ob tained. If we would have'a large increase we' must provide the vessels, not a few. As the human chest is widened by exercise, so also are the soul’s capacities for receiving the things of God. ffi'he right use of the means of grace not only brings grace at the moment, it alsd.; fits us, for receiving larger supplies lof grace in the days ,to come. Sure Cure for D oubt L IKE every other man with any brains, the late Dr. D. J. Burrell, pastor for many years of the Marble Collegiate Church, New York, and associated with Christ’s Mission from .its very beginning, had his season of “doubts” in his early years. The Rev. Dr. D. A. Poling, his assistant for several years, thus describes Dr. Bur rell’s method of dealing with those “doubts.” Dr. Poling said; “In the great university old foundations rocked be neath him; doubts banked his sky, and he turned to contemplate denial. That experience, as it followed him into the seminary and as he challenged it in the practical work of a mission in this city, was the body of one of the most absorbing hours I ever spent with him. His attitude toward it was characteristic. Said he, ‘For my mother’s sake, who believes in me, for the sake of that which may be, if this which she believes is true, I will go forward with my seminary preparation; I will throw my whole life into the quest, I will follow every intellectual avenue and exhaust every possible spiritual resource before giv ing myself over to denial.’ And in this resolution he | studied and worked and prayed. -v ' f‘One night, called by a lad to the bedside of his father, who was desperately ill, he knelt in travail of soul to ask God the answer to a dying man’s question and the solu tion of his own. His intercession reached new heights; his supplication took on those attributes of omnipotence implied by Jesus when He promised, ‘Whatsoever ye ask the ¡Father in My name, I will give it you.’ That night as the released spirit of the stranger swept through the gates into The City, David James Burrell arose believing. “A new world now opened before him, and in the strength of God he went forward to possess it. How he lived and labored from that time forth need not be re peated in detail here. But in city pastorates and in country parishes and out to the last missionary frontier are men and women who have found themselves by fol lowing the torch he held on high. To him God was the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; Jesus Christ was His only Begotten Son, our Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit was the Abiding Comforter. To him sin was a fact, the atonement a reality, the Bible the in spired and infallible Word, and time was but the child of Immortality.”
