SOME of my readers know nothing of the severe cold in the far north, yet our paper reaches same, and such know what comfort and cheer a big fire is at times as represented in our picture.
God has given intelligence to man to know how to take care of himself, whether in a hot climate or a cold one, but the horses have not that intelligence, so He has provided them with a heavy coat in winter, and what further care they need, man has to give them. So he has built stables, and made heavy blankets for them, too. How wonderful is God’s care for all His creatures. But His love is shown in giving His only Son to die for us. This is the most wonderful provision of all, for it was at such a cost to Himself and to His Son.
How dreadful it is that some people should despise this love of God. May it not be so with you, but may you thank and praise Him for His unspeakable gift.
