satuudxt; sctx 13; i&s 7 Honey and Waffles Bjr R5V. HOWARD W. POPS TUXT-Ana the tasta of It was Uka'wa tin mad tU boney.-Ea, II. u. , ... -.After thejr wonderful deliverance t the Red sea, one would suppose that toe people would never mur mur again, but liardly were they through singing their song of de liverance before' they began .: to complain of their -privations, - a nd long for the flesh pots of Egypt. What waa God'a answer? ".- Honey and waffles for breakfast, and quail broiled, fried or fricassed for dinner. The ... manna was round and white like waf . les and bad the taste of honey (Ex. 18:18, 81). This story . Illumines , like a search light the dutyfaf daily Bible reading, tor . while the manna answered their ; Objections, and assured thera of God's protection and care, It was also to be a, test of their obedience. . I, It must be gathered' freshly each flay. It would. not keep until morning, much less could 'one gather a week's supply on a. single day. Neither wlJU half a dozen chapters read on Sunday suffice for. our spiritual, needs all, the reekv- p,...t." ; (., II. Each person must gather the :. manna for himself. No foraging squad could gather for the whole tribe any more: thnn 'the pastors of a city . can gather the spiritual food needed ' by "their congregations. There is a 'blessing In the gathering which the In dividual cannot afford to miss. , ." III. The manna was suited to the needs of all. The strong and the t weak, the aged and the young, found -It alike suited to their tastes and .needs. And this manna diet was fur nished by flod-during all the forty years of their wandering 'in the wil derness, ' No wonder they, called It "breod, from h,eaven" and "ongel's food" for so.lt was. ; .' : IV. On peculiarity of their superna tural food wns this, thnt when they came to measure what they had. gath ered, the most eager and Industrious had nothing over, and the feeble had ; no lack.;; iTbls was certainly miraculous. But , no more so than the way in which God Illumines the Word and applies It to onr dally needs. . . ;. .'..!;.. ' A ; mlqjster once told me that, n't returned! rom vacation with a heavy ! heart. He was nearly sixty, and not ; strong physically. He seemed to have no message for his people, and he felt that he ought to resign. " ':"'' '' One morning ut devotions he read, 1 .'The Lord shall increase you 'more and more." .' He caught a glimpse of 1; the boundless resources of grace and . i-glory which God had In store for hlra. He cried out: "Oh! wife, I haven't got to go, .after all." When she asked What the averse meant, he said: 'IDon't you see? It means that nn old . minister with a new experience Is net Aft for a .church than n new minister 1 with an old experience." It was easy . then to take up the work, and the Inst I knew he was serving God success fully In Ihe same church. ' For devotional uses the Psalms are perhaps the best, because they cover . so- wide a range of experience. In the morning rend Ps.. Ill, and at evening ,,Ps. 8. -If yon are going on a jour ney. Ps. 121 Is appropriate. :i "The Gospels also are excellent for devotional , rending, because 'there we " come In contact with the words and 'works of Jesus. We see how he lived . In.' the home and by the wayside. In the ( carpenter's shop, and by the open "jigrave. We sec him In public life and .-and In private ministry, always the ' same, never hurried, never worried, nl . ways thinking of others and never of himself. . We see him playing with the ; chlldren watching the Hens In the ;. ddoryiird, 1 and the-birds on the trees, the growing grain anil fndlng flowers. , In everything he saw God's love. If It bo asked how much one should rend at a time for devotional purposes, I answer: Kend until' your heart burns. You may read a chnpter or a book or' a' single verse, but rend, If you cnn until you nre consciously in touch with God, and then with the Fa ther's morning kiss upon your Hps, , yon are ready to meet the outside world.- . : Some people feel that they cannot ! ispnrc time for the morning watch, hut I question whether any child of God 1 can afford to do without It. Our souls need to be fed daily as well as our bodies, and the Bible Is the soul's prop er food. It Is n good plan when one has reai5 a chapter to ask oneself : 1. What Is the subject of this chnp ter? 2. Is there any example In It for me to follow? .' S. Any error for me to avoid? 4. Any duty forme to perform? 5. Any promise for me to claim? '; 6. Any prayer for uio to offer? ' ' And remember that one verse of Scripture committed lo memory, rnd really believed or obeyed. Is worth more thnn a whole book rend hastily uid without thought.
