Evening

Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose,
With Thy tend’rest blessing,
May our eyelids close.
THE man in our picture is slowly wending his homeward way after a hard day’s work in the sun. We may expect that when he reaches the pleasant little white house in the distance, his family will be glad to see him, and a good supper will be ready for him. We hope he will thank the Father of all mercies for the many blessings He daily bestows.
You know it is God who gives us all we have—health, strength and all our daily comforts; it is He who makes the plants to grow. He sends the rain and sunshine, “for the earth, which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God.” Heb. 6:77For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: (Hebrews 6:7).
“Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God: for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.” Psa. 147:11Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. (Psalm 147:1).
“O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD: FOR HE IS GOOD: FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER.” Psa. 136:11O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Psalm 136:1).
