ConL dence had become a habit with h.m, trust was a part of his daily portion
 The experiences of life were sweet ened in the calm trust of his quie. soul What was a storm to hiL in the presence of the One who pc mitted the winds to blow and tn. waves to drive? What was the darF ness to him when he was compan had said, Let there be light!

 It is said that in the city ol Florence there is a picture of great storm. In the distance can be seen 1 ,he oncoming clouds dark with mid night blackness, except when therN is flash from the lurid lightning
 Ihe waves mount high and wreclis can be seen, occasionally fac, i comes in view. The force of tn i terrific wind is seen on all arount On the other side of the scene i

Th l Christian is alone in this regard | When the storms of life beat dow lpon the soul, what are houses an land, automob and mines? Nhel a man is in distress he needs com 'ort; he needs help; he needs salV
 jon. Anything that can bring thea, htngs to him will be his cheer bU ell him of all the blessings in tn world that are at a distance, an he will not even listen. When man is in dire danger he want
 omething upon which he can lea with an assurance that it will giV him the relief that his soul craves Paul tells the whole company tha he believes in God and that Co.,
 will give them all salvation from tn storm. That was the best new
