BY J. K. MILLER, U. D.
There'is a great deal of beauty in
the world which lies, too deep for our
eyes. There are millions of stars in
depths of the heavens wh'ch no teles
cope rnveals. Night unveils to us
splendor which lie hidden in day's
glare.
'More and more stars! and ever, as I
gaze,
Brighter and brighter seen !
Whence come they, Father? Trace me
out their ways
Far in the deep serene."
There fs a eense in which the re
vealings of God in the Bible arc hid
den. They are not hidden because
God seeks to keep them from us, but
because we must be brought into a
certain condition before we can res
ceive them. One said to me the other
tlay, "Why did I never see the Ticb
meaning of that psalm before?"' We
bad been going over one of the
Psalms together, as I sat at my
friend's bedside, and we had seea
many .sweet things in some of the
verses. My friend almost chided
herself with dulness of vision, o'r
with carelessness in reading, in not
having seen the precious meanings
before. "I have read that psalm
hundreds of times." she said. "These
sweet thoughts were Jying in the
i verses all the while, but I neyer naw
them ivntil now. Why was h? Did
God mean to iiide them from me?"
The answer to these questions is
that the revealings are made and the
b'essings bestowed realy at the ears
liesjt possible moment. The stars
are in the sky, but we cannot behold
them until night comes. My friend
could have not seen s the prccioas
thoughts in the psalm six m- nths be
fore. Then 6be was in health, active
swift in movement, strong, with no
consciousness of weaknesg, full of
human hopes and expectations. And
sTie found very many precious things
then in the Bible. It had its lessons
its encouragements, its interpreta
tions. Just what she needed and
craved in those active days. I he Book
bad for her. But the particular re
vealings which she received, aow from
its words she did not then hod. Now

of divine b,e and care in her exper
ience of teerder.ess. She did not
need these special revealings in i the
times of health and activity, and they
were not then available to her.
The experience is a very common
one. A happy yiung girl may sing
the hymn, and sing it very sweetly :
'Jesus, Lover of uij soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly;'v
and yet it may mean almost nothing
to her. She feels no need to fly to
the divine bosom. She is conscious
of no danger, of no enemy pursuing,
of no storm gathering. The words .
ripple from her tongue in musical
measure and tone, but there realy Is
no experience in her heart to inter
pret them to her. A few years later
she is a woman, with many cares,
burdens, trials, sorrows and again she
sings the song:
"Jesus, Lover of my soul.
Let me to thy bosom flv;
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is hih!
Hide me, O my Savior, hide,
Till the storm of lite is past."
Now she feels every word as it
drops from her lip3 in bleuding ac
cents. Every syllable :s now a pray
er from her heart. On the wings of
the song her heart rises,
"As storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the alr.M
What makes the hymn such a netf
song to her? New expenlencesavo
come into her life, and amid these
she has learned her own insufficiency
and her need of divine shelterrand
has learned also of the preciousness
of the refuge in the bosom of Christ.
The same is true of eyerv many
divine comforts. There ace Bible
texts which open to the youug. They
read the scared book in the bright
years when there is no care, no sense
of weakness, no consciousness of
need, arid many of its words speak
lo them in thoughts of gladness and
cheer. Meanwhile there are other
words that read sweetly enough, yet
over which they do not linger, out of
which comes to their hearts no sooth
ing voice. Then they go'on for a .
few years, and at length the way
slopes into gloom. A child is sick,
and the strong man is wctching be
side its bed, with heart burdened and
anxious. Or be is brought down
himself to a sicksbed, where he has
has time for thought. He knows his
illness is serious that he may never
recover. Now lie needs the comfort
that thus far has been hidden from
him in the words of God, whoso
deeper meaning he could not re,
ceive before. For example, there are
the opening lines of the forty ssixtb
Psalm : ,
"God Is our refuge and strength,
A vesy present help In trouble."
He had not felt the need of God's
help and companionship when hn
man friendship seemed so all-suffi
cient, and the word about "a very '
present help in trouble" had no pci
sonal meaning for him; now, how
ever, the human friendships, sweet as
they are, are inadequate, as they arc
far away. In this condition the asv
surance is a blessed revealing, and it
is she opening to him of a new secret
of blessing. When he knows this,
the way of life seems lighted with a
new and strange illumining. . :
It is thus that all the Bible wordo
must be found. There arc preciou
promises for those who are tempted; ,
but until you are in the grip of tern
ptation, you cannot draw the bless
ing from the quiver. There are tens
der words for the widow ; but while
the beloved wife has her busbaad by
ber side, strpng, brave and true, these
words are jet closed storehouses to
her, They can become her3 only
when she wears the badge of widows
hood, and sits lonely by the coffin of
her dead, or amid the cares and bur
dens which her bereavement has cast
at her feet, There are sweet words ,
for orphan children ; but while the
children have both fatner and mother
with them, and are dwelling In the
shelter of a happy home, they cannot
draw upon this reserve ot dXxhu
goodness. Only when they lve tost
one or both "parents can they quote,,
such a Bible promise &s,
"When nay lather and my mother,
forsake, me.
The Lotl will take me up.'
T'teie are cheering promise's, toos
fos the old, bat the" man or woman in
youth or mid life cannot take them..
There arc beautiduca. tor certain con-, '
ditions. "Blesse. are they that;
