Rosebtirq Licensed Lady Embalmer DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS A cool head and a steady hand are invaluable assets in troublesome times. The psalm ist informs us that the man who trusts in God will, be neither disturbed or dismayed, no matter how numerous or mighty are the assaults against him. Nothing can un dermine his stability. The man who trusts In God can say of all his enemies, even as Ath anasius said of Julian who persecuted him: "He Is a mist and will' soon disappear." The question might be asked: How may these articulated bones of ours become the formidable force before which both ad versity and adversary will be obliged to retire. The answer to tills question Is simple. Let the breath of eternal God be. breathed Into us. As a frail wire, plus the electric current can do more than massive cables without it, so can the man in whom God's spirit lives do more than he who knows not God. The secret of a pow erful and efficient life is God. Shakespeare said: "Conscience doth make cowards of us all." But through faith In God, con science, mind, heart, are strengthened. Life, then, is marked by calmness, self-possession and firmness. John Wesley, even as the darkness settled upon his earthly life, fell asleep whispering "the best of all is 'Immanuel God with us.' " That is life's most steadying truth, a truth that makes us strong In death and strong in life. Amen. Mrs. Caraway Here Mrs. J. A.
