FOR SUNDAY.
Read and Reflect, For it Will
Surely Do You Great
Good.

Who to-day will carefully consider the
immensely of the creation of God, the
goodness of His power in maintaining the
grandeur and harmony OF His boundless
empire; the uncomfortable length OF time
through which His works have been car
ried forward? The true christian cannot
fail to see and witness God in all His won
drous work; the ray of light that shines,
and every system of worlds that roll in
their immensely, declare Gods creative
power and existence. Every comfort and
blessing of life; every faculty of our being,
existence and happiness, comes from God.
The measureless worlds and unfathomed
sbysses of space are shining with bis GLORY.
What madness so extreme, blindness so
sill not see the hand of God in His won
drous world His infinite wisdom in under
liking the great work Of the new creation ?
Faith looks forward TO its progressive steps
aud final completion. The divine instru-
mentality for accomplishing this mighty
,hange Is the Cross OF Christ, and the
power, truth and glory of the gospel will
bring the perfect order OF the heavens,
the divine and eternal harmony of
God into every soul. Had we some
almighty power ID cast out the
demons of disc0rd and disobedience from
this world, what peace, happiness and har-
mony we might see We would then do
His will the troubled soul would be at
rest; our every fear Gained aud sorrow
healed in trusting in His glorious Word.
Our individual importance is great in
His sight, though We feel how puny we
are when We consider the vastneSs of HIS
creative hand. Poor worms Of The dust,
g,orying in cur strength, trying to
work discord in the government Of the God
hat made u.s. The silent sunshine, in one
hour, can do more to change the face of the
earth than millions OF men in lifetime OF
OF toll. The earth may shake with the
march of armies, nation against nation and
kingdom against kingdom, and dsy seem.
ingly be turned into night by the cloud OF
OF battle, and IL may seem 10 Us that uni
yersal ruin is over all creation, but our
iesrS are rebuked, and with silent pity the
uucsanging heavens look down on US. The
immensely of worlds is held by that unseen
hand which preserves order. No Jar, no
| coll sion; everything maintaining its rela-
tive position; nothing changed perfect in
the creation, and for all time to come.
The burning gems set in the Infinite
dome OF the sky by the Builder of Worlds
have never changed th:ir position. There
they stand from century to century. All
earthly things fade and pass away. Human
society has been repeatedly changed and
revoluiionized. yet the tempests of earth
have not dimmed their light. They still
maintain the same symmetrical order in
the messureless region of space they are
countless as the sands on the seashore. See
ing I'll this and believing in the existence
of this Great God, We have only to love
Hin and be as little children in affection
and faith be like Christ, meek and lowly
in heart and life, and God will make u
heir to His kingdom to enjoy that infinite
inheritance forever and ever. The uncer.
I: iniy of life has been fully exempli6ed in
the past week. We should be prepared al
airy moment when called 10 enter the dark
shadow Of the valley OF death with pure
ard spotless robes, to be gained only by
following in the footsteps of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
