+
+
+THE RAINBOW, AFTER THE THUNDER-STORM.
+
+
+JULIA and her mamma resided chiefly in London. Owing to indisposition
+the family were a little way from home for the benefit of the air. In
+consequence of that, Julia and her mamma were frequently walking out.
+One summer's evening they had extended their walk to an unusual length,
+when suddenly the clouds gathered, and distant thunder indicated an
+approaching storm. They were a great way from any house, but hurried to
+the nearest one for shelter. It was a large brick-built house, with a
+court-yard, inclosed by a high wall. At the iron gate was a servant,
+with a pitcher in her hand, taking some milk of a man who stood by.
+Julia's mamma went up to her, and said, "Will you be so obliging as to
+let us have a shelter from the storm? It appears likely to be very
+severe." The servant replied, "I am very sorry, ma'am, but it is not in
+my power; my master and mistress are not at home, and they have given me
+orders not to admit any stranger."
+
+There was no time to hesitate; immediately they proceeded to an
+unfinished house they recollected to have seen; it was a quarter of a
+mile distant. Almost breathless with fatigue, they arrived; the
+wash-house door was standing open, they entered, and thought themselves
+happy in having so good a shelter. "Oh," said Julia, "how cruel it was
+in that young woman to refuse to let us go into the house! I would not
+have done so." "Then," replied her mamma, "you would have done wrong;
+however painful it must have been to her, to refuse was no more than her
+duty as a faithful servant."
+
+Every minute the lightning became more vivid, and the thunder appeared
+to be bursting over their heads. "Oh, mamma," said Julia, "how awful
+this is!" "Yes, it is indeed, my dear," said her mamma; "God thundereth
+marvellously with his voice; great wonders doeth he, which we cannot
+comprehend." "This is a storm," remarked Julia, "such as I never
+remember before. Hark! how it thunders. Oh, what a dreadful flash of
+lightning! Oh, the thunder! It gets worse; how shall I bear it! Hide me,
+hide me, my dear mamma; let me get into some dark place." "My dear
+love," said her mamma, "you surprise me to see you so alarmed; it is
+what I did not expect; don't give way to fear; _I_ cannot hide you from
+this storm any more than I can hide you from the presence of God; and
+that you are sure I cannot do. Be composed, my love, and let each of us
+say--
+
+    'Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
+      Till the storm of life is past;
+    Safe into the haven guide,
+      O receive my soul at last!'
+
+Our father sits at the helm; he will guide the storm, and I shall say to
+you as our Lord said to his disciples when _they_ were in a storm, and
+as he says to us now in his word, "Why are ye so fearful, have ye no
+faith?" Let us put our trust in _him_, and look for our protection from
+_him_. How much tenderness was there in our Lord's words! He did not
+blame them much for their fears, but kindly reminded them that it was
+their duty to trust in God. You are not like your little brother when
+_he_ was about four years old. I was out with him when it thundered, and
+he said, 'Don't be afraid mamma; if we love God, nothing can hurt us.'"
+
+"It makes me tremble so much," said Julia. "If a storm like this is so
+awful, my dear," said her mamma, "what must the second coming of Christ
+be, when the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also, and
+all the works that are therein shall he burned up! How will the sinner
+tremble, and call to the mountains and rocks, 'Fall on us, and hide us
+from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of
+the lamb!' Now we need not try to hide ourselves, but if we love the
+Saviour, may say--
+
+    'This awful God is ours,
+    Our father, and our love.'
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"I think the thunder is more distant," continued her mamma, "and does
+not succeed the lightning so soon." "Does that make any difference?"
+asked Julia. "It proves, my dear," answered her mamma, "that the cloud
+is going from us; but I observed you were more afraid of the thunder
+than of the lightning; when you hear the thunder, the danger is over. It
+is only the _lightning_ that is fatal. When we have seen the lightning,
+but have not been touched by it, and when the thunder does not come
+immediately after it, it is foolish to turn pale and tremble at a sound
+which is not dangerous. After the flash of lightning is over, we may
+securely wait for the clap of thunder; it is as harmless as the sound of
+a cannon. The thunder tells us we have escaped the danger, and at the
+same time informs us at what distance; for the greater space of time
+there has been between the flash of lightning and the thunder, the more
+distant the storm."
+
+Julia's mamma proceeded, "I heard a poor woman once say she thought God
+was angry with the people, and had sent a storm to punish them. That is,
+however, a very ignorant way of talking. Storms are a blessing, and we
+ought to be thankful for them; and though we know they sometimes do
+hurt, and a few lives are lost, yet how few compared with what might be
+expected! Out of seven hundred and fifty thousand persons who died in
+the space of thirty years in London, there were only two killed by
+lightning. Probably if there were no storms, the air would be so impure,
+that men and other living creatures would perish by millions. Let us, my
+dear, lift up our hearts in gratitude to the Almighty, who, though he
+sometimes shows us his grandeur and his glory in this manner, yet always
+displays more of _mercy_ than of _judgment_. After all, God has more
+glory and greatness than he shows to us; what, then, will be the
+manifestations of them, when in another world we see him face to face!
+Yet what we shall behold of him there will fill us with _delight_, and
+not _terror_, as I heard you singing the other day, my dear--
+
+    'Millions of years my wond'ring eyes
+      Shall o'er thy beauties rove,
+    And endless ages I'll adore
+      The glories of thy love.
+
+    Sweet Jesus! ev'ry smile of thine
+      Shall fresh endearments bring,
+    And thousand tastes of new delight
+      From all thy graces spring.'
+
+May we be prepared for that period, and enjoy all that blessedness
+described in those beautiful lines! There, my dear, will be no storms,
+and we shall have no fear." "I thank you, my dear mamma, for talking so
+to me," said Julia; "I have not felt so much fear since you began."
+
+The rain had nearly ceased, and the storm was gone. Julia and her mamma
+were glad to prepare for going home. As soon as they entered the field
+leading to their home, Julia remarked how refreshed every thing
+appeared. "Yes," said her mamma, "nature never appears more lovely than
+after a Thunder-storm. The herbage of the field is revived, and what
+before was fading is refreshed. All animals seem to rejoice; birds are
+coming from their shelter, and are singing delightfully, though it is
+nearly their time for rest; and the cattle share in the general
+pleasure. See those two lambs, how prettily they are playing!"
+

+
+
+
+THE RAINBOW.
+
+
+It was at this moment Julia looked around to admire the scenery, and
+beheld a Rainbow. "Look, look!" she said, "mamma, what a beautiful
+Rainbow! How wide it spreads! How many colours are there? Let me count
+them. One, two, three, four, five--" "My dear," said her mamma, "there
+are seven, and in the following order: _red_, _orange_, _yellow_,
+_green_, _blue_, _purple_, and _violet_. These colours appear so much
+the more lively, according as the cloud behind is darker, and the drops
+of rain fall the closer. The Rainbow can last only while the rain
+continues. The sun must be behind us, and the rain opposite to us. The
+sun and rain must appear at the same time in order to form a Rainbow. It
+is caused by the rays of the sun reflected on drops of water, and is a
+picture the most beautifully coloured of any the Creator has given to
+us. The nearer the sun is to setting, the wider the arch extends. When
+the sun is at its greatest height, the bow appears the smallest.
+
+"Where do we read, my dear, in the Bible about the Rainbow?" asked
+Julia's mamma. "I think, mamma," replied Julia, "it was to Noah as a
+sign the world should not again be destroyed by water, and we read so in
+the book of Genesis." "Yes," answered her mamma, "my dear, you are
+right. How very fearful would Noah and his family have been whenever
+they saw dark clouds arise and an appearance of much rain, if God had
+not kindly said what he intended by the Rainbow! But he explained it by
+saying, 'I do set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be for a token of a
+covenant between me and the earth. And the bow shall be in the cloud;
+and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant
+between me and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the
+earth!'
+
+"A bow bespeaks terror; but this has neither string nor arrow; it is an
+emblem of peace. If it had not been said that it was a token to all
+generations, even _we_ should have feared a deluge whenever a storm
+approached. How must Noah have felt when he and his family left the ark,
+and not a vestige of any thing remained they had seen before! For the
+waters had covered the highest mountains, and had risen fifteen cubits
+higher; that is, seven yards and a half; so that in vain would salvation
+have been hoped for from the hills and mountains. What was Noah's
+conduct on leaving the ark? He did not forget (as many do) the mercies
+of God which he had received. The first thing he did was to build an
+altar for the worship of God. One would have thought, so dreary as every
+thing must have appeared, his first care would have been to build a
+house for himself and family, warm and sheltered as they had been in the
+ark. But no; Noah _feared_ God, and therefore his first care was to
+_serve_ him.
+
+"May it be so, my dear, with _you_," continued Julia's mamma. "May _you_
+seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other
+things shall be added unto you! Noah's worship was accepted, and
+immediately God said unto him, I will no more destroy the world with a
+flood. What kindness is here shown! I think, my love, it is time we
+hastened home."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+When they arrived at their abode, as Julia's papa was not expected that
+night, her mamma, according to her usual practice in his absence, rang
+the bell for the servants to attend family worship; and a large family
+bible being laid on the table, her mamma, with great solemnity, read the
+twenty-ninth Psalm, which being done, all kneeled, and she, in a sweet,
+feeling manner, approached the throne of Mercy. When prayer was over,
+all rose from their knees; Julia kissed her mamma, and took her leave of
+her for the night. "Good night, my dear," said her mamma; "don't forget
+to pray in secret before you close your eyes for sleep. Adieu! dear
+Julia;
+
+      'May angels guard thy head,
+    And through the hours of darkness keep
+      Their watch around thy bed!'"
+
+I hope, my dear young reader, you will consider what Julia's mamma said
+to her for _her_ instructions and comfort about the Storm and the
+Rainbow is here mentioned for _your_ instruction and comfort too on such
+occasions. Only fear God, and you need not fear any thing else.
+
+    How dreadful to hear in the sky
+      The thunder so long and so loud!
+    To witness the fork'd lightnings fly,
+      Discharged from yonder black cloud!
+    Lord, mercy on me do bestow,
+    And show me the peaceful Rainbow!
+
+    In vain to shelters do I run,
+      If I find no shelter in Thee;
+    No threat'ning dangers can I shun,
+      But as Thou art gracious to me.
+    Thou can'st hush my fears I well know,
+    By showing the peaceful Rainbow.
+
+    That tells me the storm shall soon end,
+      The earth shall be delug'd no more,
+    That God is my father and friend,
+      Whose love is great as his power.
+    His signal to creatures below
+    Is the peaceful, lovely Rainbow.
+
+    This bow is not bent by a string,
+      Because the anger is all fled;
+    Nor has it an arrow to fling,
+      So that I have nothing to dread.
+    And God now would have me to know,
+    All is _mercy_ in the Rainbow.
+
+    In future, then, when I'm afraid,
+      And darkness and storms fill the air,
+    I will think that God who them made,
+      Views me as a child of his care;
+    That storms will soon cease from below,
+    And the sky display the Rainbow.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
