EVANGLISTIC COLUMN.
There is no more wonderful image in nature of the glory of God than vs e find in the starry heavens. The telescopes, which art continually made more powerful, have long proclaimed the wonders of God’s universe. And by means of photography, new wonders of that glory have been revealed. A photographic plate fixed below the will reveal millions of stars, which could never have been seen by the eye through the best telescope. What a lesson for the soul that longs to see the glory of God in His Word. Put aside your owii efforts and thought*. Let your heart be as a photographic plate that waits for God’s glory to be revealed. The plate must be rightly prepared and clean; let your heart be prepared and purified by God s Spirit. “Blessed are the pure iu heart foi they shall see God.” The plate must be immovable; let your heart be still before God. The plate must be exposed sometimes for seven or eight hours to receive the full impression of the farthest stars; let your heart take time in silent waiting upon God, and He will reveal His glory.
“Be still and know that 1 am God. —Andrew Murray, D.D.
