Patient In Tribulation
Paul, the inspired, wrote wonderful truths relating to our salvation, in the fifth chapter of Romans, as also in (1 Cor 15), the two embracing the same central truths of sin and salvation, death and life, by Adam and by Christ, as representing sinners justly condemned in Adam, and the same sinners freely justified in Christ. Herein is revealed the whole fullness of the gospel of salvation. In this gospel the man Adam is embraced as the sinner saved, and the man Christ as the Savior. “By man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.” Sin brought death to men; righteousness brings life to men.

Much less, how shall I ever sufficiently love thee, and adore thee, thou unequalled pattern of excelling love, blessed, precious Jesus?

The Life And Ministry Of Anne Steele
It has been observed that many of our most approved hymn writers were unmarried—the list including Cowper, Sir E. Denny, Charlotte Elliott, Susannah Harrison, R. Murray M'Cheyne, Samuel Pearce, Thomas Row, Jane Taylor, A. M. Toplady, Anna Letitia Waring, Dr. Watts, Henry Kirke White, and the saintly lady whose name appears above. She was the eldest daughter of a timber merchant, who also ministered in the Baptist Chapel at Broughton, in Hampshire. Here she was born in 1716, and was a member of her father's Church for 46 years. An early trouble shadowed her whole life and rendered her a great invalid. She was engaged to be married to a young man named Elscourt, who was drowned when bathing in an adjacent river the day…
