One of God’s Gifts A Thanksgiving Meditation “He giveth . . . the hoar-frost” (Psa. 147:16). A newspaper writer has penned the fol lowing profitable homily on autumn’s vis itation and the ministry of the frost: “Frost tonight, probably heavy. By morn ing the last bright-hued blossoms will hang their heavy heads among their drooping, blackened leaves. The poet long ago chanted the requiem for the death of the flowers. ‘The melancholy days are come, the sad dest of the' year, O f wailing winds and naked woods and meadows brown and sere.’ But is it death? Part the thick leaves of the nasturtiums and note how many more fruits than buds they hide. Look at the sprawling branches of the petunias, stud ded with pointed pods, the tiny seeds bear ing who knows what rare blendings and striplings and veinings of color. Even the hardy marigolds, loaded with buds at the tips of their stalks, bristle with seed ves sels farther down. In the spring, a lusty crop of seedlings will mark the spot not where these flowers died, but where they passed on life to another generation.’' 1. In the night of trial is the triumph o f victory% (Heb. 2:32-39). 2. In the darkness of loneliness is the opportunity of faith (Isa. 50:10). 3. In the tribulation of affliction is the working of patience (Rom. 5 :3 ). 4. In the thorn in the flesh is the suf ficiency o f grace (2 Cor. 12:7-9). 5. In the failure of service there is the voice o f the Saviour (John 2 1 :3 -ll). 6 . In the loss of the earthly there is the gain with God (Job 4 2 :10-12). 7. In the letting down in tbe basket of God’s providence will be found the lifting up to the revelation o f His paradise, as Paul experienced (2 Cor. 11:33; 12:2). SffllrF. E.
