In one of George Macdonald’s books occurs this fragment of conversation; I wonder why God made me,” $aid Mrs. Faber, bitterly. “I'm sure I don’t know what was the use of making me.” "Perhaps not much yet,” replied Dorothy; “but then he hasn’t done with you yet. He is making you now, and you don’t like it.” It would give us more patience with ourselves if we always remembered this. We would not get so discour aged with our infirmities, imperfec tions and failures if we always kept in mind the fact that we are not yet made, that we are only in process of being made, that God is not yet through making us. . . .—Rev. J. R. Miller, D. D. * As Seeing the Invisible. No great purpose has ever been achieved by any individual until his spirit has first gone out into some wilderness solitude and there discov ered its native strength, its absolute invincibility when it relies upon no help but that of God. This is the experience of all the greatest among men. They go apart, from their fel lows for awhile, like Moses,' into the land of Midian, or like our Lord him self into the wilderness, or like St. Paul into the Arabian desert, and there, in solitary communion With God, from that highest of all compan ionships, they drink in strength to fit them for the work of our lives. Alone with God, they see visions which fill their souls, visions which never fade afterward even in the light of .common day, but which serve as beacon lightB to guide’ them, throrigh storm and darkness, till the purpose of their lives is fulfilled.— Edwin H.
