GOING BEFORE.

It is God's plan to anticipate our coming experiences. "He knoweth the way I take." To Moses and others God said, "I will go before thee." He went before Adam and Eve and prepared a garden for them. He went to the place of sacrifice before Abraham reached it, and had a victim ready for the altar. He went to Nineveh before Jonah, and prepared the people to receive the message.
The Bible is full of illustrations of this beautiful thought. Our Saviour has gone on before to prepare a place for us. Before we reach any spot in our earthly experience, God has preceded us in his providence, and has arranged for us all the strength and light and comfort we may need.—Selected.
