"Show me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths"-- 25:4.When we cannot see our way, Let us trust and still obey; He who bids us forward go, Cannot fail the way to show.Though the sea be deep and wide, Though a passage seem denied; Fearless let us still proceed, Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead.ANON.That which is often asked of God, is not so much His will and way, as His approval of our way.S. F. SMILEY.There is nothing like the first glance we get at duty, before there has been any special pleading of our affections or inclinations. Duty is never uncertain at first. It is only after we have got involved in the mazes and sophistries of wishing that things were otherwise than they are, that it seems indistinct. Considering a duty is often only explaining it away.Deliberation is often only dishonesty. God’s guidance is plain, when we are true.F. W, ROBERTSON.
