Love is the marrow of the bones offidelity, the blood in the veins of piety, the sinews of spiritualstrength; yea, the life of sincere devotion. He that hath love canno more be motionless than the aspen in the gale, the sear leaf inthe hurricane, or the spray in the tempest. As well may heartscease to beat, as love to labor. Love is instinct with activity, itcannot be idle; it is full of energy, it cannot content itself withlittles; it is the well-spring of heroism, and great deeds are thegushings of its fountain; it is a giant--it heapeth mountains uponmountains, and thinks the pile but little; it is a mighty mystery,for it changes bitter into sweet; it calls death life, and life death;and it makes pain less painful than enjoyment. --Spurgeon.====================R298 : page 8ROME AND JERUSALEM.--The Roman Church maintains asteady attention to the Holy Land.
