Aust then someone called us to a roomfor prayer before ettin into our carts. Scarcely able to $alk for tremblin- and utterly ashamed thatothers should see my state of panic 77 for such it undoubtedly $as 77 / manaed to reach a bench beside
$hich my husband stood. #e dre$ from his pocket a little book- larkes Scripture "romises- and readthe verses his eyes first fell upon. *hey $ere the follo$in;
*he eternal 3od is thy refue- and underneath are the everlastin arms; and he shall thrust out theenemy from before thee? and shall say- Destroy them. *he 3od of Aacob is our refue. *hou art my help and my deliverer? make no tarryin- my 3od. / $ill strenthen thee? yea- / $ill help thee? yea- / $ill uphold thee $ith the riht hand of myrihteousness... *he &ord thy 3od $ill hold thy riht hand- sayin unto thee- ear not? / $ill help thee. /f 3od be for us- $ho can be aainst usJ e may boldly say- *he &ord is my helper- and / $ill not fear $hat man shall do unto me.
*he effect of these $ords at such a time $as remarkable. 1ll realiBed that 3od $as speakin to us.ever $as there a messae more directly iven to mortal man from his 3od than that messae to us.rom almost the first verse my $hole soul seemed flooded $ith a reat peace? all trace of panic

and take in its several distinuishin e+cellences at one vie$- yet- if $e take a separate survey of thedoctrines and duties- the promises and threatenins- the prophecies and histories- $hich are containedtherein- each of them $ill afford us an a$ful or a delihtful prospect- $ith lessons for specialimprovement.
*he $orthy author of this collection- $hich / have lon kno$n $ith esteem and honor- has chosen toreduce all the most useful and important promises of the ord of 3od into order- and here set them
before us. *hese are the most po$erful motives of duty? these are the constant food of a livinhristian- as $ell as his hihest cordials in a faintin hour. 1nd in such a $orld as this- $here dutiesperpetually demand our practice- and difficulties and trials are ever surroundin us- $hat can $e do
better than to treasure up the promises in our hearts- $hich are the most effectual persuasives to fulfilthe one and sustain the otherJ #ere are laid up the true riches of a hristian- and his hihest hopes onthis side of heaven.
*he materials $hich are collected here are all divine- and the disposition of them is eleant andreular? so that it is an easy matter to find somethin suited to the frame of our souls- or our present
$ants on every occasion? and that soul $ho kno$s $hat a suitable promise is $orth in an hour ofdarkness or temptation- $ill never think such a $ork as this- and such a various treasure- can havesufficient value set upon it.
*hose $ho have little leisure for readin- may find their account in keepin this book al$ays nearthem? and $ith the lance of an eye they may take in the riches of race and lory- and derive many as$eet refreshment from hence- amidst their labors and travels throuh this $ilderness. /t is ofe+cellent use to lie on the table in a chamber of sickness- and no$ and then to take a sip of the river oflife- $hich runs throuh it in a thousand little rills of peace and @oy.
,ay the #oly Spirit of 3od- $ho indited all these promises- and our blessed ,ediator- $ho- by hisministry and by his blood- has sealed and confirmed them all- render them every day more and morepo$erful and prevalent to dra$ the hearts of men to$ards 3od- and to fit them for the en@oyment ofthese $ords of race in their complete accomplishment in lory. 1men.
