Thou wilt keep him in perfect
peace whose mind is stayed on thee,
because he trusteth in thee.-Isaiah,
XXXVI. g."
Gladstone once was asked what kept
him so serene and composed in the
midst of his busy life.
AT the foot of my bed" he replied,
where l can see them on retiring and
on arising in the morning, are the
words. Thou wilt keep him in per
feet peace whose mind is stayed on
thee, because he trusteth in thee.
1t is not to be wondered that one
whose thoughts were thus anchored
to the Rock of Ages should have been
able to withstand storms of opposi'
tion as he withstood them. 1t is not
to be wondered that man so strength
ened should have borne so well the
burdens of an uncomnlonly strenuous
life
1t is to be wondered, however, that
more men and women do not stay their
minds on Him whose power to give
lpeace is as unlimited as the offer of
that priceless gift; ION Him who stands
lever near and ready to warmly grasp
the hand held out in faith; to light
dark lives with His love and wipe
away all tears"
There is no life without burdens.
From the humblest to the highest, 'in-
to each life some rain must fall; some
ldays be dark and dreary." But when we
lhave borne these burdens, we under
lstand them and see that they acted,
lin many instances, as safety valves.
We see how they have "steeled our
souls with patience" and taught us
great lessons about the life admirable;
1.-THE life here which can be made to re.
fleet in such large measure the virtues
of divinity.
In every life the greater part OF the
. struggle is to gain peace--peace in
the factory, the home, the heart of the
, individual Always this is one end
And often, very often, we overlook the
one sure way
We overlook God.
Some of us think we cannot honestly
{ subscribe to this or that form OF be
, lief, and some pay little or no atten
tion to matters spiritual, thinking tnat
mere morality is The full measure d
mans higher attainment.
Mere morality is nc more a substi
: tute for spirituality than is learning
a substitute for wisdom. However up
, right may be the nature and dealings
of any individual, that persons equip
ment is sadly lacking if an essentia
! if faith be lacking.
1t is not necessary that all faith b.
similar, but it is necessary that faitl
Iexist in the heart of man. TO 5eel
, an explanation for this is like tryin!
, to analyze light. And just as light il
, necessary to physical being, so is faitl
necessary to spiritual existence-an'
it is the highest of human possibilitie
y to exist spiritually.
We cannot overlook God and hop
Z. for real peace.
However mysterious the relation
!, between man and an Infinite Being
!. there is nothing whatever to be game
:, by denying the power of that lnfdt
a Being to bestow strength and peace

In return for trusting Him, or Dor
g lor our trust in Him, comes a sense G
peace which cannot be got in an
!. other way. 1t is peace that passet
