How it grieves us when we make plans and they come to nothing, for " the desire accomplished is sweet to the soul." It has been truly said, Wishing moulds in clay, what Life Carves in the marble real." But then the wishes must be noble, pure, and holy, and they must be fulfilled in God's strength, not our own. Let us " aim high and we shall strike high." In Job xxii. 28 we find a noble aim—" Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee." It is spoken as a prophecy. Succcss— what we plan and strive for we shall attain, what we set before us we shall not work for in vain, we shall see and partake of the fruit of our labours. Following upon this come two promises, " The light shall shine upon thy ways," and " When men are cast down then thou shalt say, There is lifting up." A blessing for ourselves, then for others through us. We could not lift them up ourselves, but we can point them to the true source of comfort; we can guide them to His Hand ; we can say, " Up with your hearts ! " This threefold cord of blessing is a gem with three sides cut and polished, and shining in the light. All may have it if they fulfil the conditions, for which we see another three- fold cord ( of precept) in the previous verses— 21, 22,23. Three words— 1. " Acquaint" thyself with God. Learn to know God, " whom to know is Life eternal." It is not to know about God, but a personal knowledge of Him. 2. " Receive "— we begin by getting, not by giving. Receive " the words," and first Him who is the Word. 3. " Return"— a word that may be addresEed to all ; if you have never come consciously to Christ, still you belong to Him by creation, so " return"— if you have come and wandered, still " return. Eliphaz thought Job had done this. No matter what others think— the great thing for us i3 to " Return"— get close and keep close to Christ, the^ source oMove and light. He kno that we should on Thee— I war freely," is God's message. Now Ready, price One Shilling. FIFTEENTH TEAR. MAY'S BRITISH AND IRISH PRESS GO IDE FOR I 8 8 S .
