TO HIS WIFE. 

                                                                          Edinburgh, l3th April 1860. 

     Now let us read (2 Cor.) chapter xii., about the organisation of the Church, and the different gifts of different    Christians, and the reason of these differences that Christ's body may be more complete in all its parts. If we felt    more distinctly our union to Christ, we would know our position as members of His body, and work more   willingly and intelligently along with all the rest in promoting the health and growth of the body, by the use of every    power which the spirit has distributed to us.

     Let us read about charity,—that love which is so perfect that it remains when that which is in part shall be done   away. May God purify our love, and make it fit for eternity, by grafting upon it the love of Himself, that so both the    human root and the engrafted branches and the divine fruit may be holy to Him!
