a 0 H H H 1 FLIES| .-
mmutes are spent daily, fighting flies. There are all kinds of flies, but flies by any names are miserable nuisances and harmful pests. The Bible tells us that, “There came a great swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt.” These were not just ordi nary house flies. Psalm 78:45 tells us, He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them.” Think of the kindness of God in not allowing the propogation of these pests to this same degree today. His restrain ing hand shows His grace and love in such a small matter as restraining the population of flies. When Pharaoh pleaded for mercy, Moses prayed for God’s delivering hand. God answered by giving marching orders (or flying orders) to the flies. They left complete ly; not a trace of them was left. Listen, did you ever try to make one fly go anywhere and have you succeeded? This is a wonderful miracle only God could perform. The fly is a strangely made creature. It has a thousand facets on its two eyes. When you approach a fly with swatter, it really sees a thousand swat ters coming after it. No wonder it moves so rapidly. A fly has a thousand hollow hairs on the bottom of its six feet. When the fly places its foot down a tiny bit of glue flows out of these hollow hairs, causing the foot to stick wherever it is walking. The horse fly lays her eggs on the front knees of the horse. She does so because the eggs are hatched inside of the horse. Who told her that the horse rarely licks its hindlegs but very fre quently licks the front? Has anyone conducted a school for flies, teaching them where to lay their eggs? Only a personal living God could impart these instincts to such an insect. Even if a man knew how to do it, he certainly worild never do it. Who would want to raise horse flies? God alone can give a fly nature an«J make it live Eke a fly. And, my friend, God alone can give you a Christian nature, the nature of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and make you live like the Saviour. 7
