Tonic: Gods Omniscience" Isaiah xl 1921.
T. Who hath measured the waters in
the hollow of His hand, and melted out
heaven with the span, and compienendcd
the dust of the earth in a measure. and
weighed the mountains in scales, and the
hills in balance?
13. Who hath directed the Spirit of the
| Lord or being His counsellor hath taught
| Him?
A. With whom took He counsel, and
| who instructed Him. and taught Him In
the path OF judgment, and taught Him
| knowledge, and showed to Him the way
| of understanding?
| 10. Behold, the nations are as a drop
| of a bucket, and are counted Inc small
| dust of the balance; behold. He taketh
| up the isles as a very little thing.
16. And Lebanon is not sufficient to
! burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for
! a burnt Offering
| II. All nations before Him are as moth
| ing; and they are counted to Him less
! than nothing. and vanity.
i Is. To whom then will We liken God?
| or what likeness will ye compare unto
Him?
10. The workman melteth d craven
| image. and the goldsmith spreadeth it
over with gold, and casteth silver chains
20. He that is So impoverished that he
hath no oblation chooseth a tree that
will not rot; he seeketh unto him cum
ming workman to prepare a craven
image, that shall not be moved
u. Have ye not known? have We not
heard? hath 1t not been told you from
the beginning. have We not understood
from the foundations of the earth?
-. 1t is He that stitch upon the cir
Gle of the earth. and the inhabitants
thereof are grasshoppers; that stretch
| eth out the heavens curtain, and
| spreadeth them out as d tent to dwell in ;
hnf hrI he mr. ~ h.
| Ing; He maketh the judges of the earth
! as vanity.
"a Yea, they shall not be planted; yea,
| they shall not be sown; yea, their stock
! shall not take root in the earth; and he
! shall also blow upon them, and they
| shall wither. and the whirlwind shall
| take them away as stubble.
% To whom then VIII ye liken Me, or
! shall l be equal? saith the Holy One.
| &c Lift up your eyes on high, and be-
hold who hath created these thiAgs, that
| bringeth out their host by number; He
! calleth them all by names by the great
ness of His might, for that He Is strong
III power; not one faileth
! y. Why sayest thou, Jacob, and speak
Lord. and my judgment is passed over
| from my God
| IS Hast thou not known! Hast thou not
| heard that the everlasting God, the Lord
! the Creator of the ends of the earth, faint
! eth not, neither is weary? There is no
| searching of his understanding.
| ~. lie glVeth power TO tIe rant ana 10
| them that have no might He 1ncreaseth
! strength.
30. Even the youths shall faint and be
| weary, and the young men shall utterly
| fall.
| 81 But they that walt upon the Lord shall
| renew their strength; they shall mount up
| with wings as eagles; they shall run. and
not be weary. and they shall walk, and
| not faint.
| The Lesson.
| A certain man had a son who was going
abroad In the company of one whom the
| father had reason to doubt as a suitable
| companion, yet had no proof. He went to
! a great detective agency and asked to
| know all about the unknown stranger who
| had taken such a hold upon his sons af-
| fections and who professed to be rich and
| OF noble lineage. He asked that this
| knowledge be brought to him before the
| ship sailed that was to carry his son and
! friend abroad. The night before the ship
| sailed the agent from the detectives placed
| in his hands q full account of the stranger s
| life from the time he was born up to the
] present time. and he found his worst fears
! Justified. The detectives had Swallowed the
| man and watched his steps, had found a
| way 10 enter into his inner heart life and
| search out his most secret doings, and they
| We're all unfolded before the eyes of the
world. 1t is wonderful what the detectives
| can discover In these days 1t seems as
| though nothing could be covered or hid
| from them when once they set about to
| find II out. How many of would like
| to feel that the eyes of a detective were
| upon US night and day?
There ia a Russian woman of high birth
and breeding who is in this country,
| but who for years was exiled in Siberian
| prison for political reasons. One of our
| countrymen saw her in her plain prison
room. where the only brightness was a bit
| of a plant poisoning in the bare window
| and where she was deprived of all the lux
| uries and comforts that make life beautiful
| to a cultured and educated person. She
could speak several languages, and was
| widely read and highly cultivated, and for
| years had had no one to speak to save
the lowest and most ignorant of people who
kept her imprisoned, yet she said to the
visitor that the hardest thing she had to
