FREE METHODIST fS'fn Poge 2 EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1953 Spiritual Diary for Lent The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. Day upon day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Psalm 19:1-3. The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Joseph Addison Today's Message When a man complains about the prob lems which harass his everyday life and be gins to think that perhaps he has been singled out for misfortune, I would recom mend that he step out into the night and let his eyes rest for a while on the sparkling Heaven above him. Let him reflect on what he sees and try to imagine what lies beyond the space which he can scan. In the vast stretch of eternity which has no beginning and no end; where measure ments are based on the distance that light can travel in the space of a year; where the whole Earth is but a fleck of dust it will be difficult for him to continue to believe that either he or his problems are so im portant. In the majestic quietness and the inconceivable bigness he will sense the pres ence of the Divine Power at whose command all things move and all things cease to move. A man need not be alone in his prob lems nor need he feel that there is no solu tion. To the Almighty all things are possible and His help is promised to each of us. All that He asks in return is that we believe in Him! JOHN EDGAR HOOVER, Director, FBI. Today's Prayer Let us give pause to meditate in our dark est hours; let us scan the firmament of night, regard the moon and stars, and know that He will dissolve the darkness to give us light. Amen.
