Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.—Job xiii, 15.

Thou knowest what is best;

And who but Thee, O God, hath power to know?

In Thy great will my trusting heart shall rest;

Beneath that will my humble head shall bow.

T. C. UPHAM.

We should see not only the hand of God, but the hand of our Heavenly Father, full of mercy and lov- ing-kindness in all that befalls us. We should believe it to be best for us, because it is His will.

GEORGE W. BETHUNE.

There is no room for chance. Strange may be the way in which the lot is cast into our lap, but whether it be cast by visible or invisible hands, whether sud- denly, or so slowly that we can see it come, whether plentifully or sparingly, it is always cast exactly as the Lord wills.
