Waiting for the Water

Waiting for the Water.—We are told that the United States is about to fertilize, through irrigation, something like 250,000 acres in the Klamath Basin, of northern California and southern Oregon. It has splendid soil and climate; it lacks only the irrigation. It will convert the desert to fertile farms, and certainly prove a great blessing. What a likeness this is of God's church at the present time, dry and sterile, wanting only the fertilizing, life-giving power of the Spirit of God. The earth longs for rain. When men will long for it as they should, they may realize the blessed promise, "I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground. I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring." "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled."
