EVERLASTING ARMS
PERSECUTED GERMAN PASTOR’S LETTER. In their nests eagles are the most clumsy of creatures; in the storms, however, and above the abysses, they are the freest and proudest of crea ■ tures, writes one of the persecuted German pastors in a letter to an Eng l lish clergyman. When the wings of a young eagle have grown in his nest on the crags, and he has learned how to fly, the old eagle casts him out. It may well seem then as though he were falling into the abyss. But lo! he feels how this invisible sea of air into which he has fallen bears him up. He spreads his wings and trusts himself to them. Nowadays, God has cast us Christians of the German Confessional Church out from our sheltered nests, out from all nests of earthly security and human scheming. But, “they that wait upon -the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with] wings as eagles.” y < ===== / I
