The Precious Blood

A selection from a letter by Francis Ridley Havergal, to a clerical friend and his wife, written on Christmas day, 1873:

I do not know how one could bear the clearer sight of the sinfulness without the clearer sight, too, of the Precious Blood and its full cleansing power. I had only learnt half of 1 John 1:9, but oh how precious the “and” now is!
