Then will the Trinity bestow on you its threefold blessing, the greatest of all blessings, the blessing I wish you all, this morning; that the Father may guard you with His paternal providence, that the Son may enlighten you always to know the way of salvation, and that the Holy Ghost may ever draw you nearer and nearer to Himself in the bonds of His eternal love.
