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.

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.” PORT RECEIPTS.
