O ye of little faith’’—Matthew h S< I Faith does make a difference Jesus and His disciple* lied entered Into a boat, and as they crossed the lake, a severe storm arose. The disciples were In panic They were territjad because they thought that the next wave, would sink the boat In contrast to mt renw. war aum an<r unitratd; when rhe •tr-a'tptrs-awakened Him to warn Him of the danger, |le said "Why are ye tearful. 0 ye of little faith?" His confidence and calmness, set over against the fear, and distress of the disciples, surely teach us the lesson of a larger faith... "'■'■■■' ■ ■■ ■ How much we need that larger faith today Faith Is indeed the victory. The Christian life can be pictured ae a ship on a atormy sea. The waves of disappointment, suffering and pain, beat constantly upon that ship and threaten to sinh It. Hut the larger faith makes It possible to trust the Captain of the ship, that He will be able to bring it safely Into port. A larger faith enables us to sing in the time of storm. "God la our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble Therefore, will we not fear." Faith* Is a reservoir of power; power to see.to meet the bb- < staclW and difficulties In the way. to dare the venture and gain the reward. That la what Jesus made of it. tn spite of every obstacle, even crucifixion faith won through and conquered The same vast reservoir of strength from which He drew is open to you and to me By a larger faith we too shall triumph' "Ait things are possible to.him that beUeveth.”
