The hoary centuries are full of Him; the echoes of His sweet voice are heard today; His love has perfumed the past eighteen hundred years, and He lives today, as the Head of His church; He lives today, the object of the warmest adoration, the most passionate love, for whom millions would die this very hour. Empires have fallen, thrones have crumbled; but Jesus lives, His empire extending every day, His throne gaining new trophies of His grace.
