We should always know that God is
always kind to us. Despite our gross dis-
obedience to the laws of God’s nature,
the Lord is kind enough to look after our
maintenance. Water is one of the most im-
portant items for our maintenance, be-
cause without water we can neither pro-
duce food grains nor quench our thirst.
Water is also required very liberally for
many other purposes. Thus the Lord has
preserved water on three fourths of the
globe and has made it salty to preserve it.
Salty water does not decompose, and that
is the arrangement of Providence. The
Lord has engaged the powerful sun to
evaporate the water of planets like earth
and distill it into clear water in the clouds
and then stock it on the peaks of moun-
tains, as we stock water in overhead tanks
for later distribution. Part of the stock of
water is refrigerated into ice so that it will
not flood the earth for no good purpose.
The ice melts gradually throughout the
year, flows down through the great rivers,
and glides down to the sea again for pre-
servation.
