to listen through, listen through it, and you shall catch the’accent which comes from a heart compared to which the deepest,, the most faithful, the most large, the most sympathetic, the most generous human heart is, indeed, cold and narrow. It is Human and divine, but boundless in depth, and width, and warmth. He asks you to admit Him. It is His pleasure that the door should be openable from inside. —Handley C. G. Moule. NINETEENTH DAY The Beauty of Holiness ‘To beautify the house of the Lord” (Ezra 7:27). The ministry of the Holy .Spirit is not exhausted, the purpose of God is not completed, when the dross has been burned up. God ever has a positive de sire for His people and He longs not only that the dross shall be burned up, but also that the pattern shall be burned in-—“.Transformed into the same image.” Here, in imagination; is a vase. . . . Do you notice what pains have been taken to make the vase beautiful as well as useful? Do we not realize that God wants His servants to be useful and beautiful for Him, in their character ? —Guy H. King. TWENTIETH DAY In the Hand of the Potter “And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it” (Jer. 18:4). To the Potter’s house I went down, one day, And watched him while molding a vessel of clay, , . And many a wonderful lesson I drew, As I noted: the process the clay passed through. Trampled and broken, downtrodden and rolled, To render it plastic and fit for the mold. How like the clay that is human, I thought, Which in heavenly hands to God’s image is brought, For self must be cast as the dust at His feet, Ere man is renewed: and for service made meet, And pride must be broken, and self-will lost— AH laid on the altar, whatever the cost; And all that is boasted of human dis play Must yield to God’s hand and be taken away. —Selected.

"I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me” (2 Cor. 12:8). The apostle was troubled by some physical ailment which d r a i n e d his strength and seemed to interfere with the fruitfulness of his work. It was like a thorn in the flesh, it continually ob truded itself and mixed its pain with everything. And he prayed that God would remove the thorn, but the thorn remained. Shall we then say that the prayer was unanswered? . . . God most certainly answered the prayer, but in quite another way than the apostle dreamed. There was not less thorn, but more grace. The burden was not re duced, but the sufferer was endowed ■with more power.—J. H. Jowett.
