GREAT PROMISES.
It is said of William Penn that his integrity so won the confidence of the Indians that they offered'to give him all the land his foot could cover in a day. So he set off one day, and walked nearly thirty miles, encireling and bo gaining possession of the whole area that Philadelphia now occupies; and one of the Indians shrewdly said to him, "The paleface has made a very long walk to-day! " And God! Why, God has promxsed to each of us the very samel Shall we not take Him at His word? He says: "Every place (and so every promise) and the sole of. your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto thee." (Jos. 1, 3). The believer walks througli life upon a pathway paved with the promises of God. — ^Dr. Northcote Deck.
