knew the wine was giving out bph,.
there was any embarrassment or mort.
fication. Why did He not perform Ms
miracle sooner? Why wait until it WA
all gone, and no help could come from
any source, and then come in and re.
form the miracle? This is ChristSmv
and when He did come in, at the hOurG
extremity, He made frst-rate wine, 50
that they cried out: Thou hast kent
the good wine until now." Jesus in&e
hour of extremity! He seems to prefer
that hour.
In Christian home in Poland gps,
poverty had come, and on the week day j
the man was obliged to move out Of the
house with his whole family. That /
night he knelt with his family and
prayed to God. While they were knee, 4
ing in prayer there was a tap on the I
window pane. They opened the win
dow. and there was a raven that The J
family had fed and trained, and it had
in it's bill a ring all set with precious
stones, which was found out to be rm
belonging to the royal family It was h
taken up to the Kings residence, and
for the honesty of the man in bringl! b
it back he had a house given to him and
a garden and a farm. Who was it that
sent the raven tapping on the window
The same God that sent the raven
feed Elijah by the brook Cherith' Christ
in the hour of extremity.
