Wit's End Corner
"They... are at their wit's end."
(Psalm 107:27)
Are you standing at Wit's End Corner
Christian, with troubled brow?
Are you thinking of what lies before
you
As well as of burdens now?
Does the whole wide world seem
against you
As you stand in the battle alone?
Then remember-at Wit's End Corner
Is the place where God's power is
shown.
Are you standing at Wit's End Corner
Worn out with the wearing pain,
Feeling you cannot endure it
Nor longer live under such strain,
Broken through constant suffering,
Troubled and dazed and numb?
Then remember-to Wit's End Cor-
ner
Is where Jesus loves to come!
Are you standing at Wit's End Corner
Your work before you spread,
So much of it still unfinished
And pressing on heart and head;
Are you longing for strength to do it,
As you stretch out your trembling
hands?
Then remember-at Wit's End Cor-
ner
Is where your great Helper stands.
Are you standing at Wit's End Corner?
Then you're now in the very spot
To learn of the great resources
Of your Lord who faileth not.
Someday to a brighter pathway
Your footsteps may be removed
And you'll learn that at Wit's End
Corner
Was 'the God Who is able' proved.
"ROCK OF AGES"
Rolls Out In North Korea
BEN PRICE, an Associated Press
Correspondent, graphically de-
scribes a visit he made to North Korea.
He says:
It was a bare little building just
around the corner from a bombed out
electric plant, beside the broad con-crete highway running from Hamhung
to the Sea of Japan.
A cross on top marked the building
as a church-a place of Christian
worship.
Curiosity impelled us to enter-two
correspondents and a former Korean
law student from Seoul. We expected
to find it empty; religion rides rough
seas in communist countries. North
Korea had seen five years of Red rule.
To our amazement we heard the
rich, resonant tones of an organ; then
young voices lifted in a hymn.
Our eyes adjusted to the dim light,
took in an ancient pump organ, four
bare benches and a pulpit.
A young man was seated at the
organ. Ten little girls lined the bench-
es. None was more than 12 years old.
The organ music and the singing
stopped. Our Korean friend asked
them to continue. The music resumed
softly. The organist nodded and the
children began singing again.
There was no mistaking the hymn-
their young voices rolled it out, clear
and strong: "Rock of Ages, cleft for
me..."
During the Red Korean regime, the
Communists had banned reading of
the Bible. But they permitted singing.
And through the old hymns, like
"Rock of Ages", Christianity lives on
in hearts of these Koreans.
A Mother's Secret
SOMEONE asked a mother whose
children had turned out very
well, the secret by which she prepared
them for usefulness and for the Chris-
tian life.
Without hesitation she said: "When
in the morning I washed my children.
I prayed that they might be cleansed
by the Savior's precious blood.
When I put on their garments, I
prayed that they might be arrayed in
the garments of salvation and in the
robe of God's righteousness.
When I gave them food, I prayed
that they might be fed with the Bread
of Life.
When I started them on the road
to school, I prayed that their faith
might be as the shining light, brighter
and brighter to the perfect day.
When I put them to steep, I prayed
that they might be enfolded in the
Savior's everlasting arms."
No wonder her children were early
led to a saving knowledge of the Lord
Jesus Christ; an d became adorn-
ments to the doctrine of God our
Savior in all things!What a joy to that mother's heart
when her children rise up and call her
blessed!
Now that her secret is an open one,
may hosts of other mothers follow it.

NOT DEPENDENT ON FEELINGS
Someone asked Luther, "Do you feel
That you have been forgiven?"
He answered, "No, but I'm as sure
As there's a God in Heaven.
For feelings come, and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving.
My warrant is the Word of God
Naught else is worth believing."
