Lessons in the Father’s School

By Maltbie D. Babcock

IN our Father's school are many benches. This life is school time. Whatever the word God writes on the top of your page,—patience, courage, forgiveness, resignation,—copy it over and over until he gives you another word. Never murmur. Do your best to solve your problems. If they are hard, try hard. If you are in the dark, say, “Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth.” When you feel like complaining, listen. Be still before God. David said, “I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.” That is better than moaning and lamenting; but let us leap from David to Jesus, and say, “The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?” “Father, glorify thy name.” So shall we be made perfect through suffering.—Maltbie D. Babcock, D. D.
