A frightened lark was once pursued by a hawk. Round and round in narrowing cycles the scared bird flew, till it seemed as if its foe would soon plant its beak in its breast. A friend of mine standing under the birds, feeling a sympathetic interest in the chase, opened the folds of his coat, and by soothing tone and gesture wooed the weak, frightened lark, till it sank panting to his breast, safely sheltered from its ravenous

foe.

Saviour, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need thy tenderest care;
In thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use thy folds prepare:
Blessed Jesus,

Thou hast bought us thine we are.

Be the guardian of our way;
Keep thy flock, from sin defend us,
Seek us when we go astray:

Gems of Thought.

What the Scripture forbids, avoid; what it affirms, believe; what it commands, do; what it reproves, amend. As many as walk by this rule, peace on them, and on all the Israel of God.-Thomas Adams.

When we have Bible conversations, our lives as rich as diamonds cast a sparkling lustre in the Church of God, and are in some sense parallel with the life of Christ, as the transcript with the original.- Watson.

Don't think you can read the Word of God without incurring responsibility-you cannot; nor can you shirk responsibility by not reading it.

Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance, | streng but taking hold of God's willingness.- hushe Phillip Brooks.

Never was faithful prayer lost at sea. No merchant trades with such certainty as the praying saint. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but they return with a richer lading at last.-Gurnall.

Human prayer falls below divine re

sources.

The arrow of prayer that would hit the
mark must be drawn with full strength.
He that, in prayer for grace, will not be de-

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
That calls me from a world of care,

By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
