"These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges:there they dwelt with the king for his work." -- 4:23.A lowlier task on them is laid, With love to make the labor light; And there their beauty they must shed On quiet homes, and lost to sight.Changed are their visions high and fair, Yet, calm and still, they labor there.HYMNS OF THE AGES.Anywhere and everywhere we may dwell "with the King for His work." We may be in a very unlikely or unfavorable place for this; it may be in a literal country life, with little enough to be seen of the "goings" of the King around us; it may be among hedges of all sorts, hindrances in all directions; it may be, furthermore, with our hands full of all manner of pottery for our daily task. No matter! The King who placed us "there" will come and dwell there with us; the hedges are all right, or He would soon do away with them; and it does not follow that what seems to hinder our way may not be for its very protection; and as for the pottery, why, that is just exactly what He has seen fit to put into our hands, and therefore it is, for the present, "His work."F. R. HAVERGAL.
