AN elderly man was ill. His wife carried a basin of hot soup to his bedside. As he took it, he exclaimed, out of the fullness of a grateful heart, “My praises do not keep pace with my mercies!” He was in the habit of tracing God's hand in all the circumstances of life, and felt that he never praised Him enough for His care. Christian reader, can we not all say the same? Do we not find that our praises lag behind? Yet the Lord even “daily loadeth us with benefits." “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
