Psalm 77:12 I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings. In mere apprehension, whether through reading or hearing, there is little or no profit. The profit begins when that which is apprehended is so pondered as to become part and parcel of the man's inner nature. A man may run through a picture gallery so as to see every painting it contains, and to derive from the sight a certain amount of pleasure; but he alone profits by such an exhibition who pauses and studies each worthy work of art, and gathers ideas from it which enrich his mind, or learn lessons from it which refine his taste. "It is the settling of milk," says an old writer, "that makes it turn to cream," and it is the settling of truth in the mind that makes it turn to spiritual nutriment. (W. L. Alexander.)
