Gods Care.

In the days of the Reformation there liv-
ed learned divine in Germany, named
Brentius, Of Wurtemberg. Ills godly zeal
had at last aroused his enemies, who one
day sent band of soldiers to seize MIN
when they thought he would be off his
guard. The soldiers entered the town, but
Brentius got time to fee; not, however with
out their perceiving him, and they chased
him through several streets He was ena-
bled to outstrip them a little; and then,
turning quickly into a lane, he found his
way up flight ofstairs, at the top of which
was a rickety ladder leading up to a hay
loft. He was soon among the hay, conceal
ed and still. The soldiers ran hither and
thither and, on coming to this stair,
sought for him, even poking up the
points of their bayOnets through the boards
of the haylOft to see if any one moved
Brentius kept still, only shrinking back to
escape the touch of the bayOnets, till the
soldiers turned away, concluding that DC
one was there
So far, this was a good hiding place but
how was he to live il he continued here
The same Lord who had guided his servant
to this retreat sent him food for every
morning, during fourteen days, a hen came
TO the haylOft, and laid an egg in the hay
which furnished Brentius with sustennct
sufficient to keep him alive.
After the fourteenth day the supply faileo
and he was compelled to leave this shelter
and accordingly he cautiously descende,
into the street He found that the soldier
had just left the town; so that his friend
had now full time and opportunity to ge
him conveyed away safely to another place
How many ways has God Of protecting
His own people who trust in Him
