CHORDS FROM THE PSALMIST’S HARP “ Be still, and know that I am God”— Psalm 46:10.
tion is to rush; hither and thither for help, and to have recourse to this and that human and earthly expedient. But in the midst of such temptations the heavenly voice speaks, and its message is the same as of old: “ Be still, and know that I am God.” It is in Quietness and confidence that we find our strength, and it is the one who stands still who has the joy of seeing the salvation of his God. Once in the early days in China, a missionary was threatened by rioting. A great crowd of angry men gathered before his door, intent upon pulling down his house and murdering him. He came to the door and saw that he could neither fly nor resist, indeed that he was as good as dead. In stinctively, he folded his hands, closed his eyes and began to pray, commend ing his soul to God. He stood thus for several minutes and then opened his eyes. To hia astonishment, not a man was to be seen. He had been still. But God had been anything but still. He had worked mightily, plac ing His fear in the hearts of the riot ers and thus putting them to flight. They never returned and the mission ary worked on.— Rev. Henry W. Frost.

Looking forward to the day of her trouble, which is yet to come, He could see through and beyond it to the deliver ance which He would surely give to those who put their trust in Him. And so He had but one message for His people. It was not that they might stir themselves to greater ac tivity.
