'"There's a Reason."
time in which dear old Li was special
ly short of supplies. At last there
caine a day when he has nothing left,
for another meal. The refuge was still
empty, and he had not the cash to
buy a morsel oi bread. Kneeling alone
in hie room, he poured out his heart
in prayer to God. He knew very well
that that Father in Heaven would not,
could not. forget him; and after plead
ing for blessing on his work and upon
the people all around him, he reminded
the Lord of what the priest had said,
asking that for the honor of His own
great name He would send him that
day his own daily broad.
"Then and there the answer carne.
While the old man was still kneeling
in prayer, he heard an unusual clam
or and cawing and Happing of wings
in the courtyard outside, and a noise
as of something falling to the ground.
He rose and went to the door to see
what was happening. A number of
vultures or ravens, which are common
in that part of China, were flying about
in great commotion above him and as
he looked up a large piece of fat pork
fell at his very feet. One of the birds,
phased by the others, had dropped it
just at that moment on that spot.
Thankfully the old man took up the
unexpected portion, saying, 'My Heav
enly Father's kindness.' And then
glancing about him to see what Inui
fallen before he came out, he discov
ered a large piece of Indian meal bread
all cooked and ready for eating. An
other bird had dropped that also; and
there v.' as his dinner bountifully pro
vided. Evidently the ravens had been
on a foraging expedition, and overtak
en by stronger birds, had let go their
boetv. But whose hand had guided I
them to relinquish their prize right
above his little courtyard? I
"With a wondering heart, overflow
ing with joy, the dear old man kindled
a fire tc prepare the wholesome meal;
and while the pot was still boiling,
(he door opened, and, to his great de
light his cousin the priest walked in.
"Well, has your Heavenly Father'
sent you anything to eat?' he some
,vhat scoffingly inquired, saying noth
ing about the bag of millet he had
brought, carefully concealed up his
sleeve.
" 'Look and see,' responded the old
man , smiling, as lie indicated the; sim
mering vessel on the fire.
For some time the priest would not
lift the lid, feeling sure there was
nolhing boiling there but water; but at
length the savory odor was unmistaka
1:1, and, overcome by curiosity, he
peeded into the earthen pot. What
was his astonishment when the ex
cellent dinner was revealed!
" 'Why,' he cried, 'where did you
get this?'
" 'My Heavenly Father sent it,' re
sponded the old man gladly. 'He put
it into your heart, you know, to bring
me a little millet from time to time,
but when you would do so no long
er it was quite easy Tor Him to find
another messenger.' And the whole
incident, his prayer and the coming of
the ravens, was graphically told.
"The priest was so much impressed
by what he saw and heard that he
became from that time an earnest in
quirer, and before long confessed his
faith in Christ by baptism. He gave
up his comfortable living in the temple
for the blessed reality that now satis
fied his soul. He supported himself as
a teacher, became a much respected
deacon in the church and during the
Boxer troubles of 1900 endured terri
ble tortures and finally laid down his
life for Jesus' sake.
"Oh, dear friends, we are dealing
with the living God today just as real
ly and truly as did Elijah and the
saints of old. I have told this incident
to some length just to bring home to
our hearts a fresh relization of the
blessed fact that what He was, He is.
Our Heavenly Father is unchanged. He
acts on the same principles still."
But my God shall supply all your
need according to His riches in glory
by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4.19.
God is able to make all grace
toward you; that ye, always having all
sufficiency in all things, may abound
to every good work. II Cor. 9.8.

As good as butter, yes, better than butter, be
cause it's vegetable and more digestible., For cake,
pastry, and bread, and other things, you use butter in
the making, just add a little salt to the batter when
using Snowdrift. IJDoii t forget that Snowdrift costs
a great deal less than butter and less than hog lard;
and there's no comparison between Snowdrift qual
ity and purity and that of hog lard. If Snowdrift's the
most economical frying and cooking fat, not only be
cause it is better than hog lard, but because it costs
less per pound and less of it needs to be used.
