IN our picture this week, dear ones, we may learn many lessons from these simple wood gatherers.
These dear wood gatherers appear to be happy in their work, gathering together the fallen twigs and branches from the trees, and carrying them to their little cottage in the distance, so that they may have a nice cozy fire. We trust their hearts are thankful to God, for the provision He has made for them.
Notice, children, the wood gatherers are obliged to take a very low position, in order to get what is required. So you, too, in order to obtain salvation, must take the lowest position,—that of a lost sinner, owning your nothingness.
"All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." But, thanks be to God,
We are "redeemed with the precious blood of Christ." It Peter 1:19a
High and mighty, rich and poor, weak and needy, must come under the shelter of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.
Are you prepared, dear reader, to take this low place before God, and shelter
yourself, as a lost soul, under cover of that precious blood, and apply it to your own heart?
If you shelter beneath it, you are safe for eternity, and, through grace, you can thank God,
