JUNE 4 The P innacles of Prayer "Abraham stood yet before the Lord” (Geo. 18:22). The story takes but a few minutes to read, but the scene may have lasted for hours. We cannot climb the more elevated pinnacles of prayer in a hazy rush. They demand patience, toil, prolonged endeavor ere the lower slopes can be left, and the brooding cloud-line passed, and the aspir ing soul can reach the cleft in the moun tain side where Moses stood beneath the shadow of God’s hand. Of course, our God is ever on the alert to hear and answer those prayers, which, like minute guns, we fire through the livelong day; but we cannot maintain the posture of ejaculatory prayer unless we cultivate the prolonged occasion. How much we miss because we do not wait before God!—F. B. M eyer . JUNE 5 Terror, or Trust? “Carest thou not that we perish?” (Mk. 4:38). Blessed Master, who would not trust Thee? Who would not adore Thee for Thy patient grace and unupbraiding love? We have little idea of how much we lose by not leaning more on the arm of Jesus, day by day. We are so easily terrified. Every breath of wind, every wave, every cloud, agitates and depresses us. Instead of calmly reposing beside our Lord, we are full of terror and perplexity. Instead of using the storm as an occasion for trusting Him, we make it an occasion of doubting Him. Surely the disciples ought to have known Him better. Yes, Christian reader, and so should we.— Things New and Old. JUNE 6 A ll Things “We knovo that all things work together for good to them that love Godf’ (Rom. 8:28). We here have a divine statement con cerning “them that love God.” All things work together for their good—no limit, no exception. See how completely He turns the scale of “all things” into our favor. “All things are yours” (1 Cor. 3:21). If “all things are for your sakes” (2 Cor. 4:15), and if all things are for yourselves, nothing can hurt you; but oh, to know this 1 “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”—all things within the compass of existence, all things within the range of possibility, all things within the knowledge of God. —M arcus R ainsford . JUNE 7 T he Saviour Knows “I know their sorrows” (Ex. 3:7). Even before the deliverance comes, a sense of relief is felt in knowing that God knows. Sorrow is not sin, though it has come into the world as a consequence of sin. With sin, Christ can have no sym pathy; but He was “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief” (Isa. 53:3). He

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zech. 4:6). Everything that will be accomplished through any one of us, God’s children, will be accomplished by God, if it is worth ac complishing at all—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit cooper ating together, and we cooperating with God. We shall want to be humble, for we shall know that the moment we cease to be humble, we shall cease to have the power of God. We shall want to be faith ful. We shall want to be witnessing, in order that the blessings we have received may be shared with those around us. But we shall bear in mind continually that everything worth while that can be accom plished by any saved man or woman must be accomplished by God Himself, through human instrumentality. —F. H oward T aylor . JUNE 2 Som e Better Thing “He performeth the thing that is appoint ed for me” (Job 23 :14). “God having provided some better thing for us” (Heb. 11:40). God’s love is always tender, deep, unerring; He never wants to hold whit would be best; He loves to live unselfishly conferring The choicest things, whereby we may be blest. Why is it then, at times, the thing so wanted, The thing whereon the heart is so much set— Why is it the desire remains ungranted? Perhaps that we “some better thing” may get. “Some better thing” ? Ah, yes—far, far exceeding The fancied thing—the earthward heart’s request;: The thing for which there may have been much pleading Withheld, “some better thing” to grant —more blest. —J. D anson S mith . JUNE 3 D eath to Self “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). The last enemy destroyed in the believer is self. It dies hard. It will make any concessions if allowed to live. Self will permit.the believer to do anything, give anything, sacrifice anything, suffer any thing, be anything, go anywhere, take any liberties, bear any crosses, afflict soul or body to any degree—anything, if it can only hold sway . . . “Dying to self” is a poetic expression. It sounds romantic, heroic, chivalrous, supernatural, saint-like. It is beautiful to read about, fascinating to write about, refreshing to dream about. But it is hard to do. But it must be done. There is no abiding peace, power, or pros perity without it.-jYV. J. M osier .
