These fine, noble-looking dogs and their playmate have been having a romp. At last, wearied with their running and playing they have all settled down for a rest.
My young readers know all about such play. You enjoy such sport. And yet when you have played so long that you grow tired, and are “played out,” the sport loses its attraction for you, and you want rest.
There are many older people who seek enjoyment and happiness in the games and pleasures of this world. But a time comes when they, too, grow weary and long for rest. Do you know where they can find it? It is not the body that is weary, but the mind and heart. They do not need the kind of rest that our beautiful picture shows us. They want rest for their souls. Where can they get it? Jesus says:
Jesus knows that this poor world is full of work and trouble. He knows how much there is in it to weary and discourage us. And now He stands with out-stretched arms waiting to receive us. Come to Him and find rest.
