THE PRAYER CORNER THE HARD BITS OF LIFE A charming writer says, "Tijj/?k of the tremendous value to us u{ the hard bits of life, and of the long j weary stretches of monotonous duii ness! How poor we should be if "<#e had not gone through them. At least these may be of incalculable worth, if we make the most of them." ; The daify exercise of patience, ,he faithful doing of work which ap pears to be unnoticed by al ibut GwJ and the angels, the determined turn ing away from the contemplation of ones own little pains arid worries. These things which seem tri u.1 t ? . when taken singly, are building strength and courage and lie ki.owi acter, and this strength and courage slowly wins a personal possession which cannot be taken away from tne victorious soul. We ask God for strength and courage and He Kon a/h that we can only win them by h^rd light ? so He gives the chance :o gain the victory over weariness .jfid ! discouragement. If we take difficulties, " trials ar.d petty vexations of every day as gilts from God, as intended for our per fecting in the beauty -of hoiint-\s, then we can lind good reason to r>? glad and rejoice before God ? yea to exceedingly rejoice, not only in itwt sunshine, but also in the cloudy and dark. day. God wants us to do great things for Him, but let us not doubt His love, if He first prepare? and manes Us strong, by daily drill and exercise. It would pol be real kindness to or der a man forward to a ditficuit and glorious ta.-k, when nis strength ? so sniail that he must surely faiL Strength for a hard strain is built up day after day, quietly and un<or* sciously. And it may even be that in Gods eyes, the joyous service, poured ungrudgingly a* a willing sacrifice -o Him in quiet homes where it ums live praise of men, is far grander than many acts of extraordinary h - roiim which excite the admiration of the world. A PRAYER FOR THE HARD BITS OF LIFE O Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the hard bits of life. How poor we should have been if we had not gone through them, if we had not made the most of them. The daily exercise of patience, the faithful doing of work which ap pears to be unnoticed by all hut Thee and the angels, the determined turning away from the contemplation of our own little pains and worries; these things which seem trivial when taken singly are building strength and courage into our character., and this strength and courage slowly won is a personal possession which cannot be taken away from the sou!. Give us th*t strength and courage, our Father God, so shall we gain the vie ton- over weariness anj} discourage ment. Help us to take the difficulties, da ties. trials and petty vexations of every day as gifts from Thee, in tended for our perfecting in the beauty of holiness, then we shall find good reason to be glad and rejoice before Thee, not only in the sun shine, but also in the cloudy and dark day. Most gracious God, Thou wouldst have us do great things for Thee; but let us not doubt Thy love, if Thou dost first prepare and make us ?trong by daily trial and exercise, so shall our joyous service j'oured out ungrudgingly as a willing sacri fice to Thee in quiet homes where it wins little praise of men, be far grander than many acts of extra ordinary heroism which excels the admiration of the world and the praise shall be given to Thee, Father, Son, and Spirit, now and forever, Amen. ?
