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 " mU " 7 "T "r.. i utrcugiu io vauure pain paiientir, g-ice to neb'e her to read just her SExm-roun job woek to- THE GENTRALTIMES OFFICE. - i WE WILL DO YOUR WOliK AS CHEAP AS ANY JOB HOUSE. rr us if - l ui". ii-,.ii'i'v s, ;SHranco 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.
