COUNTY LINE.
Alxmt the time the ground will
do to plow, lo! the heavens darken
and the lightning flashes; then it
thunders and a down pour of rain
follows. What meaneth all this?
No living human being knowetb.
Vet we say it is all for the best.
Wo meet men who say that if He
who rules the universe thinks all
these rains are needed He is a
mighty poor judge of farming.
How foolish we mortals are. Can
we make one hair white or black?
No. Can we make it rain or quit?
No. Well, then, is there any use
kicking up a row?
See the lilies of the valley, how
they grow. They toil not, neither
do they spin, yet Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one
of these.
See the little bird as he twits
Horn tree to tree and sings his many
songs in sunshine and in rain. He
plows not, neither does he hoe, yet
the rich man in all his wealth does
not fare like one of these- Now if
Cod so wonderfully and mysteri
ously cares for the lily and sparrow,
how much more does He care for
us, who are made after His likeness
and in His own image. Should we
ever doubt His knowledge or wis
dom in knowing what is best for
us? Should we ever question
whether or not our plans is better
than His? Should we for a mo
ment entertain the thought that He
is not smiling on us today as He
did the deciples of old? Did they,
too not, have their ups and downs?
Ijet’s see. Do you remember the
time they were on the mighty deep
when the wind began to blow with
cyclonic fury? So much so the ship
began to reel and rock and all was
done that human hand or skill could
do, and at last a voice was heard to
say, “Lord save or we perish,” and
that voice was heard and the sea
was calm. Will He not hear us to
day? Is He not as close to us in
spirit as He was in person to them?
Yes, and we remember another
time when they had toiled all night
in search of something to feed the
hungry ones at home no doubt, and
at daybreak not a thing had they
caught. But at sunrise there was
a man standing on the Rank of the
sea and instructed them to cast
their net on the other side- When
the command was obeyed their net
was full —so much so they had to
pull net fish and all into their boat-
Their fish were so many their boat
began to sink. With our mind’s
eye we can see them beckoning to
their neighbor fishermen to come
to their rescue. Then why not be
of good cheer? Woe unto ye of
little faith. Who can tell but what
after we have toiled all the year
and until the harvest but what our
yield will lie so great we, too, will
have to beckon to our neighbors to
assist us in garnering the grain the
Lord has wonderfully made to grow
and. ripen.
We all are dependent beings, yet
we seem not to realize the fact that
all must come from above. We al
ways want our will done, and if it
was done as we some times pray, we
would run amuck very soon.
Maybe we have said enough on
that line. Possibly we had better
give you a few locals.
