Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." Is not it wonderful to contemplate the hope that we have in God? What else can buoy up our spirits in these ordinarily depressing times? Hope is somewhat like the sun. As we journey toward it the shad ow of our own burdens are cast behind us. Dr. John Henry Jowett, a great man of the faith, wrote before his closing day something I think is particularly helpful. Listen to these words, "I wish you would not think I am such a great saint. You seem to imagine that I have no ups and downs, but just a level and lofty stretch of spiritual at tainment with unbroken joy and equanimity. By no means! I am often perfectly wretched and everything appears most murky. I often feel that my spiritual life has only just begun and that I am
in the kindergarten age. But I can usually trace these miserable sea sons to some personal cause. The first thing to do is to attend to some special cause and to get into the sunshine once again." Barbara Ryberg has given us even added comfort and challenge as she ex plains in verse, He does not lead me year by year Or even day by day. But step by step my path unfolds; My Lord directs my way. Tomorrow's plans I do not know, I only know this minute; But He will say "This is the way, By faith now walk ye in it." And I am glad that it is so. Today is enough to bear; And when tomorrow comes, His grace shall far exceed its care. What need to worry then, or fret? The God who gave His Son Holds all my moments in His hand And gives them, one by one.
