Luke 19:41-44 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 1. And first, I would ask you to go back to the period of your youth. Was not that a "time of visitation?"

It may be in the church, or it may be at home in the quiet chamber, or it may be in neither, but out under the great dome of heaven, and among the scenes of nature. 4. Once more: there are providential events which may be regarded in the light of a "time of visitation" to those concerned in them. (C. M. Merry.)
