MOTHER LOVE
Text: '“‘Can a woman forget her
sucking child, that she should not have
compassion on the son of her womb?
Yea, they may forget, yet will I not fore
get thee.” lsalah xxxxix:ls.
We are graven upon the mkn of
God’'s hand that He can not get us.
Comforting it is beyond all thoughts that
in our littleness we appeal to Gaod's
greatmess, and that around our small
ness flows His bountiful love, around
our restiessness His rest. God is a God
of the small as well as of the great.
No task is too herculean for Him to as
sist in, and yet, on the other hand,
none soo small that when we come to
Him for assistance and direction will
He say us nay. Some indeéd there are
in the world who still cling to the idea
that God made the world and flunl it
out into space without keeping His
gulllnfi hard upon it, just as a jew
eler might turn out a wateh. Bbul the
figure is incorrect, as well as inconf
plete. The text in a remarkably help
ful way tells of God's love, compar
ing it to that of a mother for her help
less, Innhocent infant at her breast.
And every man knows what a mother’'s
love is. At a great meeting for men
Louisville, Ky., shortly before the deaih
orlgtnlylmwwd Sam Jomes, luhu.rd mh:
m arouse a congregation as
used the following beautiful illustration
of a mother's love: He told of an an
gel who came to earth and en:omd
80 much his stay that when the time
came for his d;rartum for the other
world he decid to carry Back with
him some memento of the deightful
trip. In angel chronology, time dif
fers from ours. He, flying lelsurely
along, looked down in the early morn
ing and saw a beautiful rosebud unfold
ing to the summer air. The dew upon
it was kissed ilnto a thousand flasih
ing diamonds by the morning sun. He
thought nothing could be prettier, =o
he culled and pursued his course. At
length he again looked down, into the
home of a young couple, where love
ruled supreme, and there, in & tiny lit
tle cradle lay a cooing babe—God's love
gift to the fond and happy younfi par
ents. He thoufm nothing could be
purer than the little child, =0 he gath
ered him and wended his way onward.
At last, he peered through a dingy ten
ement window and Baw a povertv
stricken woman 1-aning over the couch
of a little child wiiose body was con
sumed with fever. The sympathy, com
passion, love of that patient mother, as
it Jyoured from her dear eyes upon the
suffering child, attracted his attention
and he culled the mother's love among
his chpice trophies. When he at length
had winged his flight to the gate of
glory bhe looved down. and lo! the rage
brd had utr f lded and shattered, the babe
had grown into an old man and sin had
marresd his life and marked that fair,
innocent face, but the mother's love was
as pure and fresh and fadeless as it was
the @day he culled it yonder on earih.
Surely in all this old earih. with its
cares and sorrows, there is nothing
more splendid than mother's love. And
Vet God says through His prophet to
His people, a mother may forget her
child, vet will T never forget thee.
Historians tell us that Socrates was
accustomed to-gather his disciples about
him and tell them of the divine provi
dence and how it was like a mother's
love as she fanned the flies from her
babe. Critias was present on one of
those occasions and doubled (he idea
and went away laughing. In after years
when Socrates was sentenced to death
because of the hatred and malice of
this same Critias, and just as he was
about to drink the fatal cup, Critias
said: “Well, Socrates, will the gods
even now protect thee from the flies?”
But the great philosopher only smiled
and said: ““The gods, Critias, now lead
me to rest after the day's work is done
How could I still think of the flies?”’
~ God has a place in his plans for each
person in the world. Not long since a
young preacher sat thrilled under the
sermon of one of the greatest preachers
of the dav and wislied that he could
preach such a sermon. Shortly after
ward that great preacher went into a
great city in a great church to hold a
meeting. Only a few additions. Only
a few souls saved. The young preacher
‘wom into a small community to conduct
& service in a weak church. And the
additions ran into the hundreds. God
has in His divine economy a place for
the tiny violet with its sweetness, as
well as for the powerful oak with its
strength and f;roulness. Some aposties,
some evangelists, some teachers, and
some common, ordinary lay workers
are nightly used bv Him in the
winning of souls and in kingdem build
ing and strengthening.

vivors of the catastrophe was telling
about it as a remarkable adventure
Archbishop Whatley was present aud at
the close of the wonderful story sald;
“I can beat that in my own experience,
Not long since I took ship to Dubiin
and the ship didn’'t even catch on fire
during the whole voyage.” If wo only
knew it, there are camped aroumni and
about us companies of angels. Could
our eyes be opened by the man of God
we would see them as dil the pmyhe('s
servant of old, and ever afterward fear
could flee from us. Sunely all things
work together for good to them who
love God, to the called according to His
divine purpose, and He who watches
duly over the sparrow will not forget
me.
Yonder lies the great city of Rome,
with its stalwart seldiers sleeping, feel
ing secure because of the sentries on
duty. ‘The citizens likewise secure be
hind the cordon of brave, courageous
soldiers. The enemy was creeping si
lently upon the city. The uleoplnr sen -
tinel was aroused by the cackling of
foue and Rome was saved. God stand
ng in the night's dark shadows in this
llrlurlous way keepitg watch above
Higs own. Truly the poet was pre
eminently correct when he sang,
“God works in mysterious ways His
wonders to parform.
He plants His footsteps in the sea and
rides upon the storm.”
Many people stood amnved when the
great fire destroyed the eity of Chicago
and held up their hands and with bated
breath said how marvelous and m&m
terious are the providences of God. ut
it was not Ged’s providence that was o
incomprehensible as man's Ignorance-—
wooden structures erected closely to
gether withoeut adequate fire protection
will very naturally burn. India, when
the trees of the forests were all eut
away and there were no natural means
of conserving the moisture, what but
famine be expected? The citizens of
Pompeti could very naturally have ex
pected destruction as they foalishly
builded their eity in the shadow of Ve
suvius. God expects us to use our
brains or else He would not have given
them to us.
We are the sheep of His pasture. Ihi
work of His hands. Here goes a grea
ship frelfhted with human passengers,
plowing its way through the sea A
great storm comes up, and the life of
the vessel is almost despaired of as it
rolls and tosses amidst the waves and
rocks; but yonder at the wheel i= the
sturdy pilot who has weathered many
gales and whose nerve is steady and
whose mind is alert. The passengers
huddle together below the deck and
trust to his gu’d’nfi hand. At length
the storm ceases its fury, the ship
ceases to rock and sway, the sun breaks
out, calm commences, and the pilot re
ceives the thanks of the passengers for
his safe guidance. So with those of us
on the journey of lite who unfalteringly
put our trust in God. Surely He can
carry us through.
“Througk many dangers, toils and
spares
1 bave already come.
'Twuf:ruce that brought me safe thus
ar,
And grace will lead me home.
“When I've been there ten thousand
years .
Bright shining as the sun.
I've no less days to ging God's praise
Than when 1 first begun.”
Your Sin Will Find You Out.
Nowhere in the Scriptures is it taught
we can escape from the consequences of
our mistakes. Our sins will find us out.
Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he
also reap. Every man will be judged
aceording to the deeds committed in
the flesh. God often calls upon us as
He did upon the three Hebrew children
to walk in the midst of the fiery fur
nace, but there is always the Son of
Man to walk with us. Before He went
to be with the Father He gaid I am
with you always, even to the end of the
age.” He may cast us into the lions'
den as He did Daniel, but He will be
there to close the lions’ mouths that
they not hurt us.
There will come dark places and sad
hours. Things will happen that will
not be easily understood. Spurgeon well
said-—
“When my dim reason would demand
Why that or this Thou dost erdain,
By some vast deep | seem to stand,
Whose secrets 1 must ask in vain.
“Be this my joyv—that evermore
‘Thou rulest all things at Thy will;
Thy =overeign wisdom 1 adore
And calmly, sweetly trust Thee still.”
T.et us with the calm assurance of
David, trusting in Jehovah. say “Surely
goodness and mercy will follow me all
the days of my life and I wili dwell in
the house of the lLord forever.”

NEW YORK, June 16--The cotton
seed oil market was fairly active this
morning with prices lower, partacularly
for July, which sold down from 7.3% to
7.21 under liquidatien for outside long
account. The weakness in that delivery
had a depressing effect upon the balance
of the list, but fresh buying of ferward
months served to check the decline.
The break in lard also had an influ
ence upon sentiment.
