The Sanctification which the Lord Desired

"I AM THE LORD THAT DOTH SANCTIFY YOU.
(Exodus 31:13).

Oh let the desire of our souls be to that Name!

"For it is as ointment poured forth" (Song of Songs 1:3)---
and it bids "every one that nameth the name of Christ to depart from iniquity." (2 Timothy 2:19).

This is the Sanctification which the Lord desired-HOLINESS."
Alicia Blackwood

Alicia Lambart (1818-1913), the daughter an English Earl, was married to the Reverend James Stevenson Blackwood in 1849. During the Crimean War (1854-1856) the Blackwoods ministered to the soldiers and their families in Istanbul, Turkey.... It was during this time that Florence Nightingale personally delegated Lady Alicia as overseer of a ministry to the widows and children of the Scutari soldiers. Most of her publications are out of print today. BLB
