THE MISSION OF THE THORN BUSH.
Just a common thorn bush that grew at the back
OF the desert toward Mount Horeb. Wandering
winds brought 20 1t tdings OF a wonderful life
beyond the mountain and the desert. Stories OF
heavlng seas and laden ships and strange peoples;
OF strife and Stress Of cries for help and voices Of
sympathy ind the little bush stirred and
throbbed within itself. and longed for heart Of
oak or the strength of a cedar, that It might be
used in the work OF tho world
No answer came to the aspiration OF the lonely
bush. The solemn stiffness OF the mountains round
about unbroken, and neither strength nor
beauty wa9 given 10 be it's portions But strong
desire sent the roots down deeper into its native
soil, and the gnarled branches past forth fresh
leaves and gathered all Of light moisture that
possible Tor its growth there in the desert in
| the shadow of the mountain And suddenly ono day
a breath. a wind. moved over the thorn bush. II
glOwed il famed, il could longer be hid.
A shepherd with his flock behed the glory, and
stepped side to look and listen And through
the midst of the thorn bush the Spirit wind
breathed such wOndrous message that the shep-
herd left his flock and went forth into that wide
world beyond the desert and the mountain. and
led a people crying for help out into sunny land
of plenty and Of peace.
To the thorn bush was granted a marvellous
vision Of n nation saved and the gift Of the Light
Of the World. So II came to know that more
powerful than heart of oak, or the strength Of a
cedar, the message breathed through its glow
ing leaves to the shepherd that quiet day in the
mOnOtOny OF the desert.
Does the story of the thorn bush bring any mes
sage Of comfort to those who love the Master and
HIS service and who desire above all things to be
used by Him in the upbuilding OF His kingdom here
on earth? To those who almost discouraged
because OF the smallness OF this worlds goods. the
lack OF opportunity. the pressure OF the common
everyday duties and the passing OF youth with its
possibilities?
