CALISTA rose early as usual, with the feeling that she was entering on a new life. She had lived heretofore for herself-now she must begin to live for him who had live and died, and lived again, for her. She read over again her mother's letter, and saw hosts of new meanings in it. Especially was she struck with these words:
"You must expect to meet with many trials within and without. It may be that you will no sooner resolve to be wholly a Christian than you will find yourself assaulted with more ad sorer temptations than you have ever experienced. This will be partly because you will see things to be wrong which you never thought to be so before-partly, but not wholly. Satan makes his fiercest assaults upon those who are just escaping from his grasp. Be instant in prayer, study your Bible daily, and I would advise you also to study the 'Pilgrim's Progress. ' You will find it a treasury of help and instruction."
