   " St. Paul also, in his Epistle to the Thessalonians, bears witness in a good report: That he thanked God always on their behalf, that the gospel came not to them in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; that the word of God which was preached to them, they received not as the word of man, but (as it is in truth) the Word of God working effectually in them that believe; that their example, in its happy influence, going forth beyond their own neighborhood, became a pattern and encouragement to all who believed also in Macedonia and Achaia; that in the trials and persecutions they were called to suffer, they remained steadfast in the Christian faith, so that the Apostle could write to them, "We ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure;" and that, looking beyond the present, there was found in existing faithful endurance, "a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that they would be counted worthy the kingdom of God, for which also they suffered;" and more, there was a certain promise, that of the Lord they should receive the reward of the inheritance, inasmuch as they "served the Lord Christ;" and finally, as a summary of all these exalted confidences and hopes, that "in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ," in the unerring judgment and sentence of the Omniscient Judge, they would be the "hope," the "joy," and "crown of rejoicing"--"the glory and the joy"--of the apostolic ministry.
