HELP FROM EARTH AND HEAVEN
We who are called apart to hills and dales
Where in each sunrise God is speaking clear,
Where from each sunset's glow we seem to hear
The songs of wreathed angels, the all-hails
Of bright-winged seraphims—may watch the sails
Of yonder boat that steals across the mere,
And know that to the haven as we steer
For us the invisible power of God prevails.
Lo! to the mountains, as we lift our eyes,
For help we feel th' Almighty arms are spread;
To bring us peace, the lake and field and grove
Proclaim a Father's mercy and His love;
While, from the tireless stars, at night is shed
The joy of those who watch in Paradise.
H. D. RAWNSLEY

CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
SEVERAL books have been written upon the Keswick Conven-
tion and its message, but this volume is distinctive from them all
in that it presents the sequence of teaching given at Keswick
as contained in outstanding addresses delivered from the
Convention platform throughout its history. Many of these are
taken from the earlier years, when the teaching of Keswick came
as a newly re-discovered revelation from God, to a generation
hungering and thirsting for holiness of life and power in
Christian service. The speakers were men whose lives had been
transformed by this message they now so gladly and convincingly
proclaimed. Other addresses represent every era throughout the
Convention's eight decades, right to our own day. These reveal
the consistency of the message delivered, and that Keswick re-
mains unswervingly true to its original vision and commission.
Here we have indeed "Keswick's authentic voice."
H.F.S.
REST
My Saviour, Thou hast offered rest:
Oh, give it then to me;
The rest of ceasing from myself,
To find my all in Thee.
This cruel self, oh, how it strives
And works within my breast,
To come between Thee and my soul,
And keep me back from rest.
How many subtle forms it takes
Of seeming verity,
As if it were not safe to rest
And venture all on Thee.
O Lord, I seek a holy rest,
A victory over sin!
I seek that Thou alone shouldst reign
O'er all without, within.
In Thy strong hand I lay me down,
So shall the work be done:
For who can work so wondrously
As the Almighty One?
Work on, then, Lord, till on my soul
Eternal light shall break,
And, in Thy likeness perfected,
I "satisfied" shall wake.
