A Few Leaves Turned Down.

By Rev. G. R. W. Scott

Let me turn down, with their knowledge however, a few leaves of, and mark a few passages in, God's word, for those readers who need comfort and support.

For the weak Christian let me turn down the leaf and mark the 12th of Matthew, 20th verse: “A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench.”

For the heavy-burdened, Matt. 11 : 28, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

For the despondent, John 7 : 37 ; 3 : 16.

For the thirsty and hungry, John 7 : 37 ; 6 : 35. Here is a passage for the afflicted one, Isa. 54 : 7: “For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.”

Here is good news for the backslider, Hosea 14 : 4: “I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away.”

I have marked a few passages for the faithless, Acts 14 : 31 ; 1 John 1 : 7 ; Rom. 8 : 1.

Here is comfort for those who mourn over the poor results of their work. This is what Christ said, John 17 : 12 : “Those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost.”—REV. G. R. W. SCOTT, in the Christian Banner.
