running often to the hilltop, to widen his view not 
only of the landscape but of the outstretched heav¬ 
ens. AVho can tell to what extent the heavens in¬ 
spired the mind of David, when as a shepherd lad 
he lay on his back viewing the changing clouds above 
him, and when later he said : 
‘•The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament 
showeth his handiwork.” 
“Thy mercy, 0 Lord, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness 
reacheth unto the clouds.” 
“ 0 Lord my God, thou art very great; . . . who stretchest out 
the heavens like a curtain: . . . who maketh the clouds his 
chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind.” 
CLOUD-MAKING. 
Have you ever been in a cloud ? I am sure you 
have, for a fog is nothing but a cloud that has settled 
to the earth. We can feel the tiny water balloons as 
we walk through the fog. All at once the wind comes 
along and picks up the cloud and carries it far above. 
You will then see that clouds are mists floating in 
the air. 
Where does all this mist come from to make the 
clouds, which are often thousands of feet in thickness, 
miles in extent, and sometimes pour down torrents of 
water ? 
Last summer I set a tub of water in the sun, and 
saw that on warm days the w^ater was lowered more 
<HI^-an inch. What had become of it? The sun¬ 
beams Lad tossed the tiny water particles into the 
wind’s embrace to be carried to cloudland.
