Faith is the eye of the soul, to direct and guide us. Faith is to the soul as the Pole-star to the Mariner, to direct the Mariner which way to steer his course. And the soul is like the Needle in the Compass, which ever looks towards God for direction. It is as it were the Pillar of fire to us, in the Wilderness of this World, to direct our steps to our Heavenly Canaan.
Our life is called a Way. And not only a strait Way, but a difficult Way. We shall meet with many turnings in this Way. And if Faith doth not guide us, we shall either stand still, and not go forward: or we shall go into wrong ways, the way to Death.

My Brethren; we shall meet with many exigents in our way to Heaven. And, if Faith do not guide, we are sure to go amiss.
