TRIIST IN TILE LORD.

Every creature is dependent upon the
creator. From God all things derived thell
being, and by him they are continued in ex
istence. From God the beasts of the field
the fowls of the air, and the fish Of the sea-
receive their daily food. Man, although
higher in the scale of existence than these
creatures, does not form an exception to the
rule. The king that sits upon the throne
and the beggar that lives by aims, reluctantly
doled out to him, are alike dependent upon
God for everything. The air they breathe,
the water they drink, the food they eat, the
clothes they wear, and all the circumstances
by which they are surrounded, are either the
direct or indirect gifts of God. The intellec-
tual and moral endowments of man are no
less the gifts of God. If man is Intellectually
superior to the dumb animals, it is because
he is so by the gift of God. For redemption
from the curse of violated law, and for sal
vation from the pollution of sin, and place
in heaven at the right hand of the majesty on
high, man is especially dependent upon God.
All this indicates that our lives should be
lives of trust. We should trust God for every
thing-for small things as we'll as great things.
We should trust him for the air we breathe,
the water that is to quench our thirst; for
the food that is to satisfy the cravings of our
appetites; for the clothes that protect our
bodies from the storms. We should trust
him, in one word, for everything We should
trust him as able to supply our wants, as will
ling to supply them, and as wise to supply
them at the right time and in the best way
God never fails to meet the absolute necessi-
ties of the soul that trusts in him. What is
good he always gives to such individuals, and
what is evil he wisely withholds from them.
Mans life before the fall, and since the fall,
in this respect, is not different. Angels in
heaven, and man in paradise were depcn-
dent upon God. The Creator Of the universe
alone is independent and free. Since the fall
of man, dependence has increased. Before
that tme he was dependent upon God tor
his existence; now he is dependent upon him
from deliverance from the thraldom of sin.
Trust in the Lord, is the command that comes
to US from all our surroundings, and trust in
the Lord, is the command that is given to US
in the word of God. Our whole duty con-
sists in obeying Gods commands and trusting
him for results

CONDUCTED BY
REV. ROBERT LATHAM.
THE SAINTS, INHERITANCE.

The child of God in this world, is called
upon to undergo many hardships and suffer
much more worldly loss. All the inhabitants
Of the New Jerusalem are characterized as
those who have fled out of great tribuation,
and washed their robes and made them white
in the blood of the Lamb. The believer
rests on the promises of God. These are his
support and his stay. From the transltory
things of time, he looks to that inheritance
which has been purchased for him by the
blood of the Son of God. We are not asked
to serve God for nothing. As creator and
preserver, he has right to command us, and
we dare not, with impunity, disobey his COM
mands As our redeemer, he promises US an
inheritance, and all his dealings with his
people in this world, are designed to make
them meet for that inheritance. From all
the descriptions which are given to us of that
inheritance, we may conclude that it is glo'
rious beyond conception. The most precious
things of this world are chosen to describe it
The characteristics Of this Inheritance are
such as to make it most desirable. Like its
DONOR it is "from all mutation free" The
wealth of this world perishes. Time con-
sumes it. The honors Of this world fade
away. Such is not the case with the saints
heavenly inheritance. 1t commences in grace
and ultimates in glory, ineffable at the right
hand of God forever 1t consists in both
positive and negative bliss. The positive
bliss is thus described by the Psalmist: "They
(the saints shall be abundantly satisfied with
the fatness of thy house and thou shalt make
them drink of the river Of thy pleasure. Fol
with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light
shall we see light" Ps. 26: S-9. The mega
tive bliss is thus described to John in exile
"Thcy shall hunger no more, neither thirst
any more neither shall the sun light on them
nor any heat For the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall
lead them unto living fountains of waters
and God shall wipe away all tears from thei'
eyes," Rev. Z 1917.
