“Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’e r; Not death’s! cold stream, nor Jordan’s flood, Should fright us from the shore.”
We do not fret ourselves into a fever every day because we half lose our consciousness at night; we expect to wake in the morning. So we shall surely awake from death’s calm slumber; but with this difference—we are going to be with Christ; we shall awake in His likeness. 0, glory and joy, beyond compare! We have contracted a bad habit of referring to our departed as “poor so and so.” Truly we who love them are poor, missing their presence, but they— j-------------- -?

F ebruary 1. “In everything give thanks.11^1 Thess. 5:18.
NOT, as some people appear to read the text, " For every thing give thanks.” The good woman who, through her own carelessness, arrived too late for the train and, being told that she would have to wait five hours, exclaimed: “Praise the Lord for that!”, let her piety outrun her discretion. There are some things fo r which we cannot, some things for which we ought not to give thanks. There are evils in the world and, alas !, in us, which are fit subjects for tears, rather than for thanksgiving. We do not help, we injure, the cause of religion when we strive to introduce forced and artificial moods into it. But in every thing, in the midst of everything (even when the things are evil), we may and should’ give thanks. Thanks to whom? Thanks for what? Thanks to God, because He is what He is to us; Thanks that we have been delivered from “the bondage, of corruption.” Thanks for all good things (which so far out number the evil, had we but eyes to count them aright), Thanks for the sweet assurance that we are His and that He is ours. Thanks that He is slowly, but surely working the regeneration of the world. Thanks for the common, unnumbered, and often unheeded joys and blessings of our daily life. Thanks--- -— ; but we may not continue the catalogue, for it is inexhaustible. However trying his circumstances, however sad his lot, the song of gratitude should never be silent in the heart, nor indeed upon the lips, of the believer. ■ H ■■ -vI■ WM ■ I F ebruary 2. “Peter and James and John"—Mark 9:2. IT will well repay us to study thoughtfully the characters of the three special friends of our Lord, whose privilege it was to accompany Him up the Mount of Transfiguration. _There was Peter: the impulsive, the utilitarian, the man of action, ,and the man of speech. There was John : the typical saint, the quiet, the contemplative, the theologian; he who was content to rest upon the bosom of his Master; the great Apostle of love. There was James;-—---- yes, what about James? What meaterials have we for the deliniation of his character? Absolutely none! No leader of men, no spokesman for his brethren, no author (so far as we know), not apparently a popular preacher; just an ordinary man, who seems to have made no mark, and of whom we hear nothing, save that he was willing to follow and to die for Christ. How different the genius and the temperament of the chosen three. May we not take courage ? There is a place for every one of us in the friendship of our Lord. Our disposition, our talents, our attainments may be widely separated from those of some whom we are at times inclined to envy, but we also may go up the mountain and see the Divine glory outshining ; we, too, may hold high converse with the skies; for Christ has a place for every type of character, and a use. The one, the only necessity is that we love Him, and are ready to sacrifice, if need be, our very lives for Him. , I ;; SMl* F ebruary 3. “When he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid.” — Matt. 14:30. WHILE Peter beheld nothing but Christ, he was brave and could walk upon the sea; when he looked at the wind and waves, he became timorous and began to sink. So, assuredly, will it be with us. We are to “run the race that is set before us, looking
Dictionary of the Bible
By John D. Davis We consider this one of the most satisfactory dictionaries in print. It is really a dictionary of the Bible and not of things about the Bible. The illustrations are real illustrations, and not a “might-be imaginations” of some fertile-minded artist. When you look for information it is likely to be found. _ We know of no dictionary better suited to the work of the Bible Student and Bible Teacher. Cloth $4.00; Half Leather $5.00; Full Morrocco $8.00 By Keith L. Brooks This volume comprises a complete summary of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter. To every book there is given a key thought, a key verse, a conclusion, and of particular interest is the pointing out of how Christ is seen in each of the Old Testament books as well as the New. Then each chapter is analyzed separately under Contents, Characters, K e y W o r d , Strong Verses, Striking Facts, the last often throwing a flood of spiritual light on the deep and sometimes obscure meaning of the chapter. The page, “What to Do With the Bible,” is a valu able study in itself, and gives reasons why we should read, believe, receive, taste, eat, hold fast, hold forth, preach, search, study, meditate on, compare, rightly divide, and delight in the Word.
