Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Annual Monitor for 1874, or Obituary of the Members of the Society of Friends, in Great Britain and Ireland, for the Year 1873
Spiritually feeding His people, scattered In the wilderness in companies as He may direct. We know that He came to do the will of His Father, that He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness; -he promised that those who hunger and thirst after righteous ness shall be filled. He said emphatically, I am the bread of life he that cometh to me Shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me Shall never thirst. No finite measure can compass the abundance and to Spare, the over-abounding of Christ's sufficiency to feed those who follow Him, that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Many have found it to be more than they could ask or think. But we may, from the proved testimony of those who have had this happy experience, gather up some of the fragments that remain, and find our own basket filled. Let nothing be lost. In this point of view, we esteem it by no means an unprofitable labour, to collect these remnants, and we trust all who have been so engaged, have themselves been refreshed, and their faith strengthened by the work. DO not stand by merely in wonder at the Lord's exceeding bounty, but let us become partakers ourselves. Nay, as we follow our Lord, when at times wemay find our present supply small, let us bring Him what we have; and when He has blessed it, we may freely give all away to those who are around us in the wilderness, and out of His fulness find our own store increased thereby.
