Cannot we trust Him for like marvels in our souls? There, too, "a day is with the Lord as a thousand years." CANNOT WE TRUST HIM FOR LIKE MARVELS IN OUR SOULS THERE TOO A DAY IS WITH THE LORD AS A THOUSAND YEARS
ary if we had never seen the marvel of springtime! Yet the heavenly bloom bursts straight out, with hardly an intermediate step of new growth. Look again at a flowering rush. The crest breaks forth from nothingness--out of the lifeless-seeming pith come crowding the golden brown blossoms, till there is hardly "room to receive" them. What more do we need for our souls than to have this God for our God? Once allow the manifestation of His grace in these poor hearts of ours to be a miracle, and there is no need to defer it vaguely. How many of the wonders wrought by Christ on earth lay in concentrating the long processes of nature into a sudden act of power. The sick would, many of them, have been healed by degrees in the ordinary course of things; the lapse of years would have brought about the withering of the fig-tree; the storm would have spent itself in few hours. The miracle in each case consisted in the slow process being quickened by the Divine breath, and condensed into a moment. OOK TO US IN FEBRUARY IF WE HAD NEVER SEEN THE MARVEL OF SPRINGTIME YET THE HEAVENLY BLOOM BURSTS STRAIGHT OUT WITH HARDLY AN INTERMEDIATE STEP OF NEW GROWTH LOOK AGAIN AT A FLOWERING RUSH THE CREST BREAKS FORTH FROM NOTHINGNESS OUT OF THE LIFELESS SEEMING PITH COME CROWDING THE GOLDEN BROWN BLOSSOMS TILL THERE IS HARDLY ROOM TO RECEIVE THEM WHAT MORE DO WE NEED FOR OUR SOULS THAN TO HAVE THIS GOD FOR OUR GOD ONCE ALLOW THE MANIFESTATION OF HIS GRACE IN THESE POOR HEARTS OF OURS TO BE A MIRACLE AND THERE IS NO NEED TO DEFER IT VAGUELY HOW MANY OF THE WONDERS WROUGHT BY CHRIST ON EARTH LAY IN CONCENTRATING THE LONG PROCESSES OF NATURE INTO A SUDDEN ACT OF POWER THE SICK WOULD MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN HEALED BY DEGREES IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF THINGS THE LAPSE OF YEARS WOULD HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT THE WITHERING OF THE FIG TREE THE STORM WOULD HAVE SPENT ITSELF IN A FEW HOURS THE MIRACLE IN EACH CASE CONSISTED IN THE SLOW PROCESS BEING QUICKENED BY THE DIVINE BREATH AND CONDENSED INTO A MOMENT
