. In God's out-of-doors. Natural history. valley from the Great Sea, or on occasion springing with sudden pas- sion out of the Jordan Valley over the Nazareth cliffs toward the far and fair blue waters. Could Jesus forget them? On many a solemn night, alone but not lonely, he had sat with chin upon his hands and listened to his hill winds blow. The winds—and he made them! Think of that, my heart. H is winds— now thine. And when the sea was whipped with tempests by the lashings of the winds the wild and boisterous waves disturbed him not only in dreams, he thought he heard the heavenly bu- gles blow, and wakened from his happy sleep when the scared disciples wailed above the wind's wild "goings," "Carest thou not if we perish?" Then he awoke and spake lovingly to the winds (no harshness in his voice nor threat upon his face) saying only,"Keep still for a little while, your fury frightens them, keep still. Peace, be still," and the winds threw their brazen trumpets in the sea and were still. He loved the winds; and all their sobbing lutes and viols and 'cellos were dear to him. How I have rejoiced in God's winds!
