February 1930 on. They have had the spirit of a sound mind, the spirit of discipline; or, to phrase it in common speech, they have had com mon sense. The practical mystic is of all men the man to be reckoned with, he is so human, and yet his strength is so super natural. Not transcendental, or senti mental, or fanatical, but quietly assured and wholly sane, keeping step with God’s purposes, and with his fellow saints, de spising no man, bowing down to none, giving honor to whom honor is due, but ever keeping “the fortress o f his estab lished soul” virgin for God. Such is the temper of Christ’s men. Filial, unfettered, and unafraid, they walk amongst their fellows, and He whose name is the Comforter walks at their side. —Rev. W. Y. Fullerton. —o— February 8— "They shall not be ashamed that wait for me” (Isa. 49:23). Prayer sometimes tarrieth like a peti tioner at the gate, until the King cometh forth to fill her bosom with the blessings which she seeketh. The Lord, when He hath given great faith, has been known to try it by long delayings. Unanswered pe titions are not unheard. By and by thy suit shall prevail. Canst thou not be con tent to wait a little?— Spurgeon. Yes, I must wait— I see afresh today Grand possibilities on life’s highway Of proving God, and finding out His power Sufficient for the strain o f every hour. Yes, I must wait, and let Him teach me mora; Less work, more prayer, yet stronger than before, I shall arise refreshed His will to do, Since waiting at His feet makes all things new. " ---O--- . February 9— “His kingdom ruleth over all” (Psalm 103:19). Over all, my soul. Hearken to the vic torious organ-music of God’s All, and thy sighing will flee away. Over all the needs of the body. He will not suffer thee to want. Behind the appearance of things He is at work. I see Him, one gray morn ing in Galilee, bringing the fishes to the disheartened men. This morning He is still the same. Over all hindrances, too, in doing His work. He will not allow thee to be hampered by the narrowness o f thy sphere, and the limitations of thy knowledge, and the smallness of thy means. I see Him, in Jerusalem, opening the iron gate that His disciples may go free. He is as mighty yet. Over all the tempests in thy life. There are storms o f mental doubt, and storms of practical perplexity, and storms of affliction, and storms o f temptation. But I see Him, on the lake, calming the wild weather. Today blasts and billows are obedient to His word. Over all sea sons o f loneliness, also. Thou hast some times to look out into a darkness where God Himself seems gone. But I see Him, in the upper room, showing Thomas His hands and His side. And thus He blesses thee. And over all the mystery of death.. Death is a portion of His dominion, and there thou art still within the borders of the pleasant land He careth for. I see Him, from Olivet, ascend to His Father and thy Father. And He means thee to
can reveal. There are purposes to be strengthened, and faults to be corrected, which only He can accomplish. And this ministry is the certain experience of those whose fellowship is restricted by divine ordering to Himself, and to His people. Standing as it does forever a complete picture of God’s eternal salvation in Christ, the Ark speaks, not only of the life saved, but o f the life separated also unto Him who is its Redeemer. Riding victoriously over every wave of judg-
share in His ascension. Therefore in bright days and dark, in life and death, bless the Lord, O my soul.— Alexander Smellie, D.D. —o— February 10— “ The Lord shut him in” (Gen. 7:16). What a prospect is theirs, to be shut in with God Himself! There are lessons to be learned which only He can teach, and secrets to be disclosed which He only
