IN DARKNESS, TRUST.

A timid traveler, whose route lay across the higher Alps, on a path, that, no broader than a mule’s foothold, skirted a dizzy precipice, where the foaming river far below seemed diminished to a silver thread, found it safest to shut her eyes, nor attempt to guide the course, or touch the bridle, where a touch might have been fatal, throwing both horse and rider over, to bound from shelf to shelf, and be dashed to pieces in the valley below. And there are times and circumstances when, to be saved from falling into blank despair, the believer must, if we may so say, shut his eyes, and, committing his way to God, let the bridle lie on the neck of Providence, and walk not by sight, but faith, determining to “trust in the Lord, and stay ourselves on God.”—Selected.
