Gods Opportunity.

Some. one has said that each human life
is another opportunity for God to display
His grace and power" So it is and the
thought will grow upon you as YOU meii-
tate upon it. Just think, Il am Gods OPP
portunity!" Isn't it wonderful Isn't it
glorious! When we look at others whom
God has richly blessed and honored in SER
vice we can see how it is, but do we ever
think of ourselves as Gods opportunity?
Every one that responds to Gods call,
"Come" gives God a large place IN the
world. Every one who obeys Gods com-
mand, "Go!" assists God in gaining a larg-
er place IN the hearts Of men. Every re
generated heart and life is a new garden in
which God plants His seeds of love and
grace; a fountain out of which flow con-
slant streams of healing power. Take it
home and say to yourself, Il am Gods cp-
portunity" Be that, and your life viii be-
come unutterably grand, and your exper-
fence unspeakably sweet. - Presbyterian
journal

Before photography was employed

the image appeared light and the fruit
dark, or vice versa, according to the
manner in which the paper was cut and
applied.
