He reestablished the covenant that He had made with hout any consideration be- asked from man. The unmerited r of the Lord has characterized covenants. This is seen in every effort made by the eternal Jeho- vah to build up men after sin has wrought its destructive power. His- tory proves it. Recall “when Israel entered Palestine, when the Goths pourned down on Rome, when Char- lemagne established a new empire, when Europe entered on the Crusades, when Cromwell gave Puritanism a permanent place in English polities, when William the Silent rescued Hol- land from cruelties worse than the engulfing floods, when the Huguenots, tossed on a sea of persecution, escaped on broken planks to distant lands, when France in the throes of revolution, broke with an unendurable past, when the colonles of America, denied their rights, took the first step to secure them—these are only a few of the innumerable cases in_which the “hand of God molded history with the power that makes for right- eousness.” Its Provisions. Noah needed the encouragement that God gave him, when in obedfence to the divine command he left the ark and offered up worship to Jehovah, who had saved him and his family. About him were the marks of a ruined world. It called for courage in view of his experiences to start anew in that desolated world. One of the first provisions of thé covenant assured Noah that the world would never again be destroyed with water. Within the provisions of this promise was included every living creature that had been with him in the ark, the beasts of the field and the fowl of the air and the cattle.” The inclusion of these living creatures was for the benefit of Noah and his family. Men are just commencing to realize how much of their present prosperity is due to the presence of these beasts of the field, fowls of the air and the cat- tle of the plains. “The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all His works.” No mention is made of salvation in this covenant because it is included in the one made with Adam, and to Noah before he entered the ark.
