Implicitly Trust.

It is always perfectly safe to trust implicitly in God and take him at his word. Indeed, this is the only safe course for us. In times of perplexity, it is blessed to know that we have this assured refuge and support. A traveler following his guide amid the awful Alpine heights, reached a place where the path was narrowed by a jutting rock on one side and a terrible precipice on the other. The guide, holding onto the rock with one hand, extended the other hand over the precipice for the traveler to step upon, and pass around the jutting rock. He hesitated, but the guide said, "That hand never lost a man." He stepped upon the hand and passed on safely. The child of God who takes the Saviour as his guide in this world of darkness and danger, has the help of an unfailing hand. Who that has ever trusted him has been disappointed? He stretches out his hand for our help and deliverance. He holds us by the right hand in the midst of dangers. And he has said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them to me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." "That hand never lost a man;" blessed are they who can lie safely within its hollow, protected by its mighty grasp.—Religious Herald.
