A Watered Garden

By H. A. St. John

"THOU shalt be like a watered garden." Isa. 58: 11. Reader, are you like a watered garden? Or are the fruits of the Holy Spirit withering and dying? Are the weeds of evil choking out the good? Is the soil becoming dry and hard? If so, make haste, destroy every evil weed, break up the fallow ground. It is left with you to put the garden in readiness to receive the showers of blessing that God is waiting to bestow.

"Not one of us will ever receive the seal of God while our characters have one spot or stain upon them. It is left with us to remedy the defects in our characters, to cleanse the soul temple of every defilement by coming to the Fountain. Then the latter rain will fall upon us, as the early rain fell upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost." H. A. ST. JOHN.
