. The lives and labors of Moody and Sankey;. thank God ! praise God ! I am the happiest manalive. So he comes up out of Jordan and puts on his clothes,and goes back to the prophet, and wants to pay him. Thats just the old story : Naaman wants to give moneyfor his cure. How many people want to do the same now-a-days ! Why, it would have spoiled the story of grace, if theprophet had taken anything ! You may give a thank-otteringto Gods cause, not because you can be saved, but because youare saved. But the prophet refused to take anything ; and Ican imagine no one ielt more rejoiced than Elisha did. SoNaaman starts back to Damascus, a very difterent man thanhe was when he left it. The dark cloud has gone from hismind ; he is no longer a leper, in fear of dying from a loath-some disease. He lost the leprosy in Jordan when he didwhat the man of God told hiui; and if you obey the voice ofGod, even while I am speaking to you, the burden of yoursins will fall from ott you, and you shall be cleansed. It isall done by the power of CHAPTER XVII.
