Guidance' “When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). We may be as sure of the guidance of the Holy Spirit as the chosen people were sure of the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night.

soever we make necessary for our con tentment, we make lord of our happi ness.—Alexander Maclaren. 3. Eating Manna “And the children of Israel did eat manna . . . until they came to a land inhabited” (Ex. 16:35). It is a great blessing to be hungry. Lack of hunger is a sign of illness.

There is only one way by which we can rise triumphant above these things — by constant watching unto prayer, that is, by sleeplessness unto prayer. Pray! Pray! Pray! —R. A. Torrey.
