undramatic, gainful way of pain. That is why God Himself came to us not with argument and barren philosophy, but in an experience, an incarnation. He Him self has suffered, and through His pain we are made alive. . . . Some day, it. may be here, it may be there, in or out of the body I know not, he will answer me and explain my suffering. ; —Harris E. Kirk. The cross is not greater than His grace, The storm cannot hide His blessed face; I am satisfied to know that with Jesus here below, I can conquer every foe. —o— March 30— “I am the light o f the world : he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness” (John 8:12). Shadows are thick about us. Life holds many mysteries and questionings. We see through a glass darkly, and know only in part. So it has ever been, and yet men have always believed that the dawn would come; that some day they would awake to knowledge and assurance, and waking, be satisfied. Our religion is the religion of hope, of onward looking to better—to best things to come. There is light streaming from Him who died on Cal vary. In ■Him there are answers. He is our sufficient certainty and peace.— C. M. McClelland. “ Thou art the life within me, March 31— “ This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the peti tions that we desired o f him” (1 John 5: 14, 15). I never remember . . . that I ever sincerely and patiently sought to know the will of God by the teaching of the Holy Ghost, through the instrumentality of the Word o f God, but I have been always directed rightly. But if honesty of heart and uprightness before God were lacking, or if I did' not patiently wait upon God for instruction, or if I pre ferred counsel* of my fellow men . . . I made great mistakes.— George Muller. When temptations almost win thee, And thy trusted watchers fly, Let this promise ring within thee, “/ will guide thee with Mine eye.” Patience God’s patience can find a golden mirror in man’s. Robert Morrison labored for 28 years in China for 10 converts. The mis sionaries in Arabia have endured the fanaticism of the Arabs for 39 years, and yet in all Arabia there are' not 39 dis ciples won for Christ and openly confess ing His name. The United Lutheran Church of America, after 68 years of labor in Africa without a single native congregation, and after spending £10,000 in the last two years with but a single convert, have just refused, by an over whelming vote, to close down.— Selected. O Christ, the King o f kings; Thou art Thyself the answer To all my questionings.” —o—
There is never a time when we may not hope in God, whatever our necessities, however great our difficulties; and though, as to all appearance, help is impossible to come, yet our business is to hope in God. And it will be found that it is not in vain—in the Lord’s own time help comes. Oh, the hundreds, yea, the thou sands of times that I have found it thus within the past seventy years and four months! When it seemed impossible that help would come, help DID come, for God has His own resources, and these re sources may be counted by hundreds, by thousands. He is not confined to this or that thing, or to twenty things. Our business is to spread our case before the Lord, in childlike simplicity, to pour out all our heart before God, to tell H im : “I do not deserve that Thou shouldst hear me and answer my requests, but for the sake of my precious Lord Jesus, in whom alone I trust for the sal vation of my soul, Thy perfect Servant, my Saviour, for His sake answer my prayer, for I believe Thou wilt do it in Thine own time and way.” Thus invari ably I have found it. And I cannot tell you what an effect this has had on my life, and how it has made me a happy man, and in my greatly advanced age it makes me a very happy man. I cannot tell you how unspeakably precious it is to have such a Friend in heaven. More prayer, more faith, and more patient waiting, and the result will be blessing, abundant blessing.— George Muller. —o— March 28— “ When Peter was come down out of the. ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me” (Matt. 14:29, 30). Peter had a little faith in the midst of his doubts, says Bunyan; and so with crying and coming he was brought to Christ. But here you see that sight was a hin drance; the waves were none of his busi ness when once he had set out; all Peter had any concern with, was the pathway o f light that came gleaming across the darkness from where Christ stood. If it was tenfold Egypt beyond that, Peter had no call to look and see. When the Lord shall call to you over the waters, “ Come,” step gladly forth. Look not for a moment away from Him. Not by measuring the waves can you prevail; not by gauging the wind will you grow strong; to scan the danger may be to fall before it; to. pause at the difficul ties, is to have them break above your head. Lift up your eyes unto the hills, and go forward—there is no other way. “Dost thou fear to launch away? Faith lets go to swim! Never will He let thee go, ’Tis by trusting thou shalt know Fellowship with Him.” —Streams in the Desert. March 29—“I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me” (Psa. 119: 75). I think, when life’s fretful fever is over, we shall find that the royal road to intimacy with God lay through this old,
