Help From God

By George B. Thompson

HEAR that old hero of the cross, the veteran of many campaigns, tell us the secret of his success: “Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day.”
We trust in many things for help. Money is sought, and every possible sacrifice is made to obtain it; but its help does not last. The help and coöperation of our fellow men often render us needed temporary aid; but there are times when this is of no avail.
In the hours of darkness, sometimes of desperation, when the heavens seem to be brass; in the hour when we stand by the open, yawning grave about to receive into its embrace the one we love; when sorrow like sea billows sweeps over the soul,—it is then that the only help which is of any avail comes from Jehovah, who alone can create, and bring light out of darkness, and sweeten the bitter experience of life. G. B. T.
