King's Business - 1921-01

“He leads us on

Through all the unquiet years; Past all our dreamland hopes and fears; Through all the tangled maze Of sin, of sorrow and o’erclouded days; We know His will is done;

And still He leads us on.” REETINGS in the name of our Triune God,—Father, Son and Holy Spirit,—to our big King’s Business family! We cannot take you all into our arms—you are so many ; but we can take you all into our hearts, and we do, and wish for you from the depths of them that you might be “ filled with all the fullness of God.” We give you a joyful New Year’s text: “O satisfy us early with thy mercy, th a t we may rejoice and be glad all our days.“ (Psa. 90:14). We do not know what a day may bring forth,—how much less a year,— but we do know that every day as it comes to us may come' freighted with blessings from Him who has the pierced hands, if we will it so. To will it so is to be in His will, —sheltered there, safe there, satisfied there! And every day may carry blessings, through your lives, to hungry hearts—if you will—for that is always His will. Let us make it the best o ta ll the years for our loving Lord, through these earthly channels. Let us pour back into His kingly heart the devo­ tion of our glad hearts,—glad because of the consciousness of His finished work in our behalf, and for the joy of service. —T. C. H. m $ THE BIBLE INSTITUTE OF LOS ANGELES A n Illustration There is a wonderful mingling of the natural and the supernatural in God’s work; a mingling of the weak things with His mighty power. He seems to take pleasure in showing how He can use the things that are not to bring to naught the things that are, so that He may be glorified. God is a jealous God. We used to wonder at that statement from His lips, but we understand.it now. How else could He maintain His own glory? How else could we rightly honor and worship Him? How be kept in our place as His subjects? Thirteen years ago in a deserted pool room on the second floor of a two- story building, a little company bowed their heads and set apart the premises for Bible work. It was an uncanny spot. Some said “ Women will not go there; it is out of the way.” But God had put His finger upon it and had said “ Plant the seed here.”
