THE CHRISTIAN'S LEVER.

ARCHIMEDES is quoted as saying: "Give me a place on which to rest my lever, and I will move the world." But the Christian has a lever that is infinitely greater than that, for it will move not only the earth, but Heaven also. And he has a place on which to rest it, too. That lever is faith, and its resting-place is the throne of the eternal God. Hear what David says of the time when he was in deep trouble, and cried unto the Lord. "He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind." "He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters." Ps. 18: 9, 10, 16. Read verses 1-19. Truly "there is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky." Deut. 33: 26.
