outh" (Ps. cx. 3).

Oh, that you might get such a view of Him as would make it impossible for
little things ever to fret you again! The petty cares and silly trifles
that have troubled you so much ought rather to fill you with wonder that
you can think so much about them. Oh, if you had the dew of His youth you
should go forth as the morning and fulfil the promise of a glorious day!
What a difference it has made in life since we have seen it was possible
to do this! How easy it seems now when the little troubles come, to draw a
little closer to Christ, to drink in a little more of that fountain of
life, to get a little nearer to that loving heart, and to draw in great
draughts of refreshing and strength from it. How clear it makes the brain
for work! Coming to Him thus, heavy and dull and tired, how rested you
become and able to spring forth ready for work. How inspiring to think
that our living Head never grows weary. He is as fresh as He ever was; He
is a glorious conqueror; He is ever the victorious Christ. Let Him take
you to-day, and He will cause you to see in Him the invincible Leader!

"We would see Jesus" (John xii. 21).

Glory to Him for all the things laid up for us in the days to come. Glory
to Him for all the visions of service in the future; the opportunities of
doing good that are far away as well as close at hand. Our Saviour was
able to despise the cross for the joy that was before Him. Let us look up
to Him, and rise up to Him till we get on high and are able to look out
from the mount of vision over all the land of far distances. There shall
not a single thing come to us in all the future in which we may not be
able to see the King in His beauty. Let us be very sure that we do not see
anything else. Our pupils will become impressed as they look at this
vision, so that they will not be able to reflect anything else. My little
child came to me once and said: "Papa, look at that golden sign across the
street a good while; now look at that brick wall and tell me what you
see." "Why, I see the golden sign on the brick wall." And he laughed
merrily over it. So, if we look a long time upon Jesus we cannot look at
anything else without seeing a reflection of Him. Everything which we
behold will become a part of Him.

"The sweetness of the lips increaseth learning" (Prov. xvi. 21).

Life is very largely made up of words. They are not so emphatic, perhaps,
as deeds
