Oeeing that we have such a God to trust to, £y let us rest upon him with all our weight; let us resolutely drive out all unbelief, and endeavor to rid of doubts and fears, which so much mar our comfort; since there is no excuse for fear where God is the foundation of our trust. A loving parent would be sorely grieved if his child could not trust him; and how ungenerous, how unkind is our conduct when we put so little confidence in our heavenly Father, who has never failed us, and who never will! We have been in many trials, but we have never yet been cast where we could not find in our God all that we needed.

“He appeared first to Mary Magdalene.” — Mark 16:9.
