A Nrw srArE OF nrRa.

II Is quite common 10 mistake our own In
capacity for Gods unwillngness to give.
We cannot take more than our hearts and
lives can hold, not oven Of the free and
abundant grace of God. The limit Of bless
ing for every man H. the limit VI capacity.
Even God does not put more than n pint
into a pint cup. Therefore Gods richest
blessing of enlargement. When u soul sub
mits to Him he causes IL to grow, SO
making room for more delight and larger
power OF use in every blessing. Gods
will t. give may always be taken for
granted. our will 20 receive Is not so sure.
And when we are disposed to complain of
our small share of spiritual blessing, may It
not bc best To- ask ourselves whether II l.
not our will that fails and our littleness
which cannot find room to receive God =
apparent grudging, we may be sure, Is al
ways sign Of our incapacity. What We
most need. therefore. is continual enlarge
ment of soul which comc5 to men only from
the continual presence OF Gods Spirit. God
does not offer gifts at random, much less
does He enlarge n soul which has no desire
for Him. lie who thinks that spiritual
capacity may bc picked up anywhere along
life's dusty road. and that one may set his
heart upon the earth and then enjoy the
full measure of n disciples happiness be-
sides. will surely bo disappointed. However
we may persuade ourselves to the contrary,
the spiritual ambitions OF the opening year
will be the measure of its growth and its de-
light.

nnn's WAY OF rnAININn.

We have seen Gods way of training tho
world 10y religious process; he also trains
the world by n proviiential process and
neither is that way ours We ask for strength
AMI he sends us weakness; We ask for
hcalth--for health to be able TO do our work
and lie sends us sickness we set our
heart on some dcHr thing that we want to

Il 10 be this. on every hand | learn II, from
every side see Ii; we have one way. God
has another way, and Gods way is not ours.
In a way Of His own He Is training nus and
leading us on and on to something better
and more than we could find for ourselves.
Though He defeats our purposes, He does
not defeat US; and all our hopes and drcims,
and MI the bright ideals toward which we
now aspire, will be at last in His way, and
not in ours, fulfilled. David II. Greer, u. ID.

rnLLnwINn GOD.

Night after night, as y1u lie down to rest,
the weary day ended, think that day
offered to God In weariness and quiet en-
durance may bring you fuller Joy than tho
brightest. happiest seasons OF enjoyment
eau do. And when morning brings a fresh
beginning, it may be in WEAKNESS of body
aud spirit, strive to hear the voice Of God
saying; "My child, 1t is thus | will that
thou shouldcst serve mes If viii that thy
service be weary and lifeless, aud deficient
in all earthly reward and pleasure, what is
that to thee, SO long as IL is my willI What
do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt
know hereafter. Follow thou me without
questioning the love which inhlcts this
weariness and sadness and seeming priya-
tion of ali thou most dclightcst in."
