Everyman’s Hut

I % “One day at a time; a burden too great To be borne for two can be borne for one; Who knows what may enter to-mor-row’s gate, While yet we are speaking all may be done. One day at a time; just a single day, Whatever its load, whatever its length,’ There’s a bit of precious Scripture to say That according to each shall be our strength.” It is one of the blessings of our lives that the future is hidden from us, not only from the point of view of the | restlessness that would result from , such knowledge, but also because it ■ gives scope for the exercise of faith towards God day by day, as we receive from' Him what it pleases Him to order for us. And especially does this apply to our lives at the present day. “While there’s life there’s hope,” runs the old saying, and so we can go on day by day, not knowing what a day may bring forth, but, for all who by faith are children of God, with the full unshakeable assurance that God jis over all, and will permit nothing to befall us but that which is for our ; good. These things which are our lot may not be pleasant or what we would j have ordered for ourselves, but they are what we need for our training, for our correction, for’ our growth in the things of God. May we be enabled to go on “praising Him for all that is past and trusting for all that’s to come,” relying on His promise that “according to our days so shall our strength be.” It is with sincere regret that we have to say good-bye to Mr. Gordon Blair,..who, since the beginning of this year, has been so prominently connected with the Hut. ; Our mind goes back over many happy hours of fellowship in this work, and now that the time has _ come for him to move one, we wish him well for the future and pray that “he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified and meet for the master’s use prepared unto every good work” in his new sphere of service for the Lord. The work will be carried on by our friend Mr. Les. Taylor, who, with Mrs. Taylor, filled the breach during Mr Blair’s absence on sick leave. We have warm memories of their short visit and give them a hearty welcome back.
