JUNE 1 Calm Fervency
JUNE 4 Firm Faith
"But let him ask in faith, nothing waver- ing: for he that wavereth is like a ivave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed” (Jas. 1:6). The Master once rebuked His disciples with the challenge: “ How is it that ye have no faith?” Is there not sad reason for that reproach to us? How is it that, sometimes, in the storm of the world’s need, our faith falters? How can we doubt and hesitate and fail, when Christ has come and the Spirit has been outpoured? Nothing need be impossible to us. Mountains can be re moved and cast into the sea. W e may work, not within the narrow limits that have straitened us hitherto, but in new infinities of power.— The Christian. JUNE 5 Without a Struggle “Fret not thyself. . . . Rest in the Lord” (Psa. 37:1, 7). The call comes to us constantly in the spiritual life to move forward. From time to time God shows us that there can be no further progress at the same level. How are we to rise to the higher level and so attain to the greater fullness into which He calls us to enter? In the Panama Canal there is a system of locks whereby ships are lifted from one level of water to another. How is this feat performed? The ship bears no strain. It simply yields and rests, and the undercurrent of water lifts it and floats it into the higher lock. So God makes you equal to every new task to which He calls you, not by your effort, but by the inflowing of divine grace from sources you cannot see today. W ill you yield to the sufficiency?— From The Conquest of Life by W . M allis .* JUNE 6 True Prayer “Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will 1 pray” (Psa. 5:2). Adolph Monod, in dying, gasped out four brief but telling phrases: “ All in Christ— By the Holy Spirit—For the glory o f God —All else is nothing!” Let us try our prayers by such tests. How much of what goes bv the name of prayer is, after all, judged by such standards— nothing! It is possible to be “ splendidly equipped” from man’s point of view, and yet magnificently disqualified, in God’s estimate. Prayer gives a new vision to the soul, a new contact with God, a new hold upon G o d ; it makes possible a larger recognition of divine resources, a fuller re ception and consequently a fuller distribu tion.—A. T . P ierson . JUNE 7 Beholding “ W e . . . beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed” (2 Cor. 3:18). That attitude of “ beholding” is more than *Copyrighted, 1936, by the Bible Institute Col- portage Association of Chicago, reprinted with ex press permission.
“ Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, ¡when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” (Mk. 11:24). Lord Jesus, Intercessor, Oh, teach us how to pray: Not wave-like, rising, falling,
In fitful clouds of spray. The mighty tides of ocean A deeper secret know, Their currents undefeated move Whatever winds may blow. Lord Jesus, Intercessor, Creator of the sea, Teach us the tides’ great secret O f quiet urgency. Spindrift of words we ask not, But, Lord, we seek to know The conquering patience of the tides Whatever winds may blow.

JUNE 2 Our Portion— His Promises
“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever” (Psa. 73:26). The exceeding great and precious promises of God’s W ord are for us, especially in times of sorrow and loss. When the path way is darkest, when the sorrows are deep est, then it is that the immutability of God’s counsels and the preciousness of His promises sustain our souls. Has He promised, and shall He not fulfill? The certainty of the fulfillment of every promise yields to us “ a strong comfort.” Assured we are that “ Every tempest-driven bark, W ith Jesus for its Guide, W ill soon be moored in harbor calm In glory to abide.” —L. W . G. A lexander . JUNE 3 His Present Work “He ever liveth to make intercession” (Heb. 7:25). The work of the Lord Jesus was not all done on Calvary. He that died for our sins lives to pray for us—to help in every time of need. He is still man on the right hand o f God. He is still God, and therefore, by reason of His divinity, is present here this day as much as any of us. He knows your every sorrow, trial, difficulty. Every half- breathed sigh He hears, and brings in notice thereof to His human heart at the right hand of God. His human heart is the same yesterday, today, and forever; it pleads for you, thinks on you, plans deliverance for you.......... Look u p ! He is able to succor you. If He had been on earth, would you not have gone to Him—-would you not have kneeled and said, “Lord, help me?” Does it make any difference that He is at the right hand of God? —R obert M urray M c C heyne .
