Special Providence.

Those who deny the doctrine of
Gods particular providence, necessa-
rily limit the power and PROJECTIONS
of God. If men could interfere with
the final purposes of God, it would
overthrow all we have learned in
the Bible of the omnipotence, omnis-
cience, and omnipresence of God,
which are among his distinguishing
attributes. Herod could not destroy
the infant Saviour, because God had
purposed otherwise. The Jews
watched the gates of Damascus to
take Paul, that they might kill him,
but their efforts were in vain, for
Paul was a chosen vessel to bear the
gospel to the people of Antioch,
Derbe, Lystra, Berea, Athens, Cor
NTH and Macedonia; and as these
places had not yet been visited no
plans of the Jews to thwart the di-
vine purposes could possibly succeed.
The doctrine is full of comfort to the
believer. God has promised to save
him, and no earthly power can inter-
fere with the divine purpose and
promise. If the Christian only keeps
his eye on Jesus, he may confidently
believe that the eyes which fell on
Mary from the cross rest on him also.

age is.away from God. The problem
is, How to get back?
God wants us to come back to him.
He has no pleasure in the captivity
of the wicked.
We must desire to return. God
will not force us to return against our
will.
The foundation of return must be
sorrow for the sin that took US away
from him.
We shall need his help to regain our
lost position. 1t was to render this
assistance that Jesus Christ dwelt on
earth and died on Calvary.
Since we are condemned to captiv-
ity because of broken law, we must
have the pardon of the Law-giver to
obtain freedom.
We cannot purchase pardon OF
merit it, but we can have it freely by
believing in Christ and asking for il
in his name.
The sinner is long way off from
God, but the journey back is quick
one if he takes the right road.
What gracious God, that he pro-
vides way for his banished children
to return to him. What strange chill
dren, that so many of them have nc
desire to return.
There is no hope for anything but
misery in bondage of sin; there is GER
tainty of happiness in the presence o.
Jehovah.
Cause and effect are nowhere more
sure; sin and sorrow are root and
fruit-so are righteousness and joy.
Repent and be saved. Come away
from Babylon. The gates of the new
Jerusalem wait to open for you!
You cannot build ladder lone
enough to reach to heaven, but yor
can enter at one step through Jesus
Christ. 81 am the Way, the Truth
and the Life; no man cometh unit,
the Father, but by me-"
