Source of Blessing “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh doWn from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (Jas. 1:17), All the blessings of the field, A ll the stores the gardens yield; A ll the fruits in full supply, . Ripened ’neath the summer sky; A ll that spring with bounteous hand Scatters o’er the smiling .land; A ll that liberal autumn pours From her rich o’erflowing stores These to Thee, our God, we owe : Source whence all our blessings 2. God Our Vindicator “And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday” (Psa. 37:6). 37:6). We make a mistake in trying al ways to clear ourselves; we should be wiser to go straight ph, humbly doing the next thing, arid leaving God to vindicate us. There may come hours in our lives when we shall be mis understood, slandered, f a l s e l y ac cused,' Men around us in the world at orice appeal to law and force and public opinion. BUt the believer takes his case into a higher court, and lays it before his God.—F. B. Meyer. Fresh Discoveries “Not as though I had already at-: tained . . . but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:12). No progress is possible to a man who does not see his defects. The man who has reached a place where he thinks he has nothing to attain unto, is in a pitiable condition . . . Paul’s confidence was not in any ele vation he had already attained . . but in the fact that Christ had appre hended him, and he knew that what Christ had started. He would com plete . . . Only wheri we have climbed the foothills do we realize how lofty the mountains are.—Keith L. Brooks. 4. The Word of Command “ I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there” (1 Ki. 17:4). 1 have a wealthy Father; A ll the world’s gold is His. Far though the place, and late the hour, Yet can His simple word of power Meet my necessities. 3.

5. Hidden Sin “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoSo confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy” (Prov. 28:13). The Christian must not conclude that because his'sin has never been exposed, it never w ill be. It was nearly twelve moriths before David’s sin was published. There have been cases where years have elapsed, and the transgression was revealed by God. The only safe course is to be Very humble and watchful, and to walk softly before: God. If anything is questionable, for the sake of others- let us abstain from It; if it is wrong, •let us at once confess It and forsake it.— Words in Season. Try Thanksgiving “I w ill praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I w ill glorify thji name for evermore” (Psa. 86:12). You want to know why you are not happier than you are. If you can receive it, here is your answer: You rob God. You are not a thanksgiving Christian. You pray, and pray, and pray; but you are lacking in thanks giving. . . If the love of God Were richly in you, you would be con strained to bless, and praise, and magnify the God of love. When all is fulfilled in the sweet eternal rest, there w ill be all praise, ceaseless praise!— Biblical Research Monthly. 7. Liberty “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free” (Gal. 5:1). Of old, impatient of restraint, I longed ior wings to fly away To joys my fancy loved to paint Unhampered by the word “ obey.'.’ ' But now I sigh for some loved voice To make my duty straight and plain; »Without this solemn power of choice, Alas! I sigh iri vain Uritil I hear the Saviour call, “Bewildered one, come, follow Me! Here is true freedom; here are all The wings you need to set you free.” O goldèn chains of liberty! 0 bondage to my Lord and King! Come, try His yoke, and learn with me What freedom it will bring. —Ruby Weyburn Tobias. 6.
