Is it not refreshing, while riding along a country road on a hot summer day, to see cattle resting in the shade near the grassy banks of a stream?
Perhaps some of you, dear children, have spent your vacation in the country and helped the farmer drive the cows to and from the meadow.
The cattle are God’s creatures, and He has provided the restful spots, green meadows and brooks by which they are nourished and refreshed. The ones in our picture are enjoying these comforts. We are touched, as we think of God’s provision for His dumb creatures, which have no souls to save. But, dear readers, greater love is going out to you.
“God comrnendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,” Rom. 5:8.
You have a never dying soul. Have you ever asked yourself, Where will my soul be, if I am called to die; or if the Lord should come? This is a most important question, and should be answered between God and yourself at once.
“Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15.
“Be ye also ready.” Matt. 24:44.
“The coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” James 5:8.
THEY THAT WERE READY WENT WITH HIM TO THE MARRIAGE AND THE DOOR WAS SHUT. Matt. 25:10.
