We do not believe that the God or the
hills has any part in our haryests' we
say. "Our hands planted the corn.
we think God has nothing to do Win
our clothes because our sheep grew the
wool. We assert that God has notnlng
to do with our homes because our
timber is turned into the boards when
are nailed into the walls. ION, no.
SAWS Amos, that is not true; the Goa
of the hills waters the fields. He gives
drink and food to the iocks. he
nourishes the trees into mighty forests'
II Is God and God alone, who provides
all." Ought we not to give thanks 10
the God Of the hills who CLONES Us
and feeds US todayP
An Incident of Thackeray.
The providing of our everyday wants
should be continually acknowledged De
fore God. DIR. Taylor told Deautilui

Thackeray. After the author OF "'ani-

When the ship was within Few hours
of Liverpool there was fareweii meet
ing Of the passengers In the main sa-
loon. A prominent minister arose ana
smoke about as follows: "Friends, we
must now part. want to tell you now
much I have enjoyed this trip. Ii Is
solemn fact to know that most Vi
us will never meet again until we as
s.mble at the judgment seat OF Christ
With that Mr.. Thackeray arose ana
said. eft ia solemn to think that we
are all TO assemble at the judgment
seat of Christ. but 1t Is even more soi-
emn for me to think that every minute
Of every hour of every day Goa is noiu-
ipo mo In the hollow Of his hand ana Is

tho Judgment seat at this time, II my
fellow passengers are willing, wouiu
uka 70 have our ministerial brother
lead us in prayer and thank God lor
the care he has taken Of US during lne
last ten days when we nave Deen on
