Look out, if it is a clear night, and see the stars sparkling all over the sky ; you - cannot count them ; no one can, because there are more than eyes or telescopes have ever reached ; but, " He calleth them all by names " ; knows every one separately. And yet, though He has all those wonderful worlds of light in His hands, and J bringeth out their host by number," He turns to say to each of His poor, little, weak children on this dark earth : " I have called thee by thy name." He knows your name ; you are not merely one of the rest to Him ; you are to Him- ' Take a pencil and write your own name there ; it will be perfectly true. That very • name is a token that you are called to be His own child ; God knows it and calls you by it. But He has done more than this. Why do you care to read this little story 1 why do you care to hear about the things which are " not seen," about Jesus, and salvation, and heaven 1 What is it that seems like a little voice within, per- suading you to seek and love Jesus ? That is God's own voice in your heart, calling you by name ! For you know it is to you, because it is only in your own heart; no one else hears it, no one else even knows of it. When He calls thus, listen, and see what else He has to say to you : " Fear not, for I have redeemed thee ; I have called t hee by thy name ; thou art Mine."
