GLORY OF NATURE

A teacher in Alaska went out one day with one of her pupils to

do some sketching. The little girl she took with her was about

ten years of age and quite skilful with her brush. When the day

was nearly over the teacher looked at the sky where the sun

was setting. “Try to make a picture of that sunset,” said the

teacher to the pupil. The little girl looked at the beautiful

sight in the heavens and then turned to her teacher and said, “I

can’t draw glory.” It was a bright answer made by that little

Alaska girl. It is God who has painted the sunset sky, and

there is no human skill that can draw the glory which He has

created.--W. M. VINES.
