Lift Thine Eyes
“I will lift up mine eyes unto
the hills, from whence cometh
my help.”
“I will lift up mine eyes” —
what a glorious way to begin the
day! When we lift our eyes as we
stand on the porch of the Lake
side Building early in the morn
ing, a panorama of beauty meets
our gaze. Mountain peaks sur
round us. Can’t you feel God’s
protection in those hills ? The rain
spatters on the lake and the sur
face sparkles and dances. On a
clear morning the blueness of the
sky is reflected in the mirror like
water. Just now the loveliness of
the trees is almost breathtaking.
What do we see in all this
beauty? Do we see water, hills,
clouds simply as water, hills, and
clouds? Or do we see them as
God’s handiwork, evidence of His
majesty and power?
How many times have we risen
and started the day confident in
the sufficiency of our own
strength, only to find at the end of
the day that we have accomplished
very little ?
We had subconsciously said
that morning: “I can do it alone;
I have education, I am young, and
youth can do anything.” Whence
came the mental capacity to learn ?
Who gave us our life? God—the
same God who can and will give
us more than sufficient strength
if we but call on Him.
At Morning Watch there is a
time for meditation on some part
NOVEMBER PARTY
November gave a party
The leaves by thousands came;
The oak, the maple and the birch
And leaves of ev’ry name.
Violet (red and yellow-gold
And even green ones too.
Waltzing and whirling as they
danced.
While the wind in rhythm blew.
But now the wind’s abated.
The leaves have settled down.
Jack Frost came tripping from
the North
And turned them all to brown.
Next year there’ll be another
show
And other leaves will prance.
They’ll wind and twist and rise
and fall
And rustle as they dance.

of God’s Word and for private
prayer, a time to lift our eyes
unto the hills from whence come
th our help, for our “help cometh
from the Lord.”
You have the privilege of having
your own Morning Watch service
each morning on the porch of the
Lakeside Building. You should ap
preciate the opportunity of com
muning privately with God, and
you are urged to visit Lakeside
at any time that it is convenient
for you.
