F ebruary 25. "There is no difference.’’—Rom. 3:22.
GOD has no favorites. He may treat His children differ ently; to some He may give higher manifestations of His glory, a closer intercourse with Himself, than to others; it is that they are more fit for the honor, not that He loves them more. Some He may permit to walk constantly in the. shadows and amid the rough places of earth; He does so because they need the disci pline, not that He loves them the less. Nay, to some He will minister the abundant entrance to the glories and joys of Heaven, while to others He will say: “Depart” ; yet He so loved them all that He gave His Son to die for the latter as. truly as for the former, and no heart will grieve more over a man’s eternal loss than that of the great ALL Father who willeth not the death of one. God has no favorites: with our human preferences, we can scarce realize this truth. We cannot help but love some of our fellow creatures more than we do others; we are not strong enough to deal with them all alike, we are swayed by our partial ities. Let us remember that God never is! The weakest and most sinful soul is as dear to Him as the greatest saint who ever trod the earth. Wilful persistence in sin will ultimately produce eternal separation from the presence of God, but it will not alter the fact that He has loved us “with an everlasting love.” IT is not the great calamities of life that wear out the hearts of men, but the daily succession of petty vexations and cares. The disappointments, the anxieties, the misunderstandings, the failures, the fears, (all trifling things, taken separately) which crowd one upon another in life’s experience, are like “pricks in the eyes and thorns in the sides” and, though not really serious troubles, exhaust our nervous energy until the very grasshopper becomes a burden, and we grow irritable, morose, unhappy in ourselves and a great trial to our friends. There, is but one remedy for this condition of affairs: it is to cast our petty annoyances upon God. We carry our really crushing sorrows to the Throne of Grace—with the result that they fail to crush— but we do not think it worth while to ask Him to take the thorn out of our finger: nay, we are not sure that we ought to trouble the Almighty with such trivialities; and the consequences are dis astrous to our spiritual and mental life. Let us learn the lesson that nothing which affects His children is a trifle in our Father’s eyes. He is as willing to soothe and heal when we are afflicted with a pin prick as He is to bind up a broken heart. “Tell God,” is a motto that should occupy a conspicuous place in the soul of every Christian.

ALMOST all God’s constructive processes are silent and unseen. The tornado, the thunderstorm, the earthquake, the waves, mountains high,-—all these may be seen and heard—but they are all forces of destruction. Who ever listened to the sunrise, or saw the grass grow, or beheld the caterpillar change within the chrysalis, or the coral island being built up in the southern seas? What eye has gazed upon the first advent or heard the approach of life, that most potent and most mysterious
