Sing when mists are drooping low— Pierce the cloud; Sing across the winter snow, Clear and loud ; But sing sweetest in the dark: He who slumbers not will hark. —o— December 17— “Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?" (Job. 38:22). When the soft, pure flakes fall noise lessly, we instinctively shiver; they are associated in-our minds only with hard frosts, leafless trees, and long wintry days; but what about the underground wovk, hidden roots, and bulbs covered up and kept warm till spring welcomes them? Does life look like a snow-covered plain? Do you feel ice-bound? Wait— there are treasures there, hidden under the chilliest circumstances and surround ings; and the great Gardener will reveal them in time. Treasures of snow and hail! Not by chance do the “chills” touch our life and work. It may be that God allows them, to drive us nearer to Him self—the ever-warming center of love; and also, doubtless, that-, having gone! through the trials ourselves, we may be able to help others afterwards by an en riched experience and sympathy. Let the rays of the Sun of Righteousness so warm your heart that He can reach and thaw other ice-bound souls through you. —Laura Barter Snow. December 18— “Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the hills, but hie is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined : and the children of Israel slew o f the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day. But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left" (1 Kings 20:28-30). When the battle was joined together, 27,000 Syrians entered Aphek (or fort ress) and there the wall fell upon them. Once before, the falling of a wall had brought victory to Israel. When the men of war had compassed Jericho daily for six days, and seven times on the seventh day, and the seventh time at the command of Joshua had shouted with a great shout, the wall of the city fell, and Jericho was theirs. What was that great shout? It was the shout of praise, for we read in Ezra, “The people shouted . . . when they praised” ! But it was praise in the dark, praise contrary to appearances, praise based upon the promises of God. And it is the same shout of praise today that loosens Satan’s tightest hold. Have we learned to sing i t ? . Praise beforehand, this is indeed the secret of prevailing prayer.— Aphra White. —o— December 19— “Seeing then that we have a great high priest . . . Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Let us come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:14, 16). —Sel.
