JUNE 3
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge.
There is no speech, there are no words,
their voice is not heard; but their melody extendeth through all the
earth, and to the end of the world their words—Psa. 19:1-4, Leeser.

The magnificent pageantry of the heavens daily and nightly should elicit our praise and adoration, and should inspire in our hearts holy and reverent
devotion. Let the noiseless activity, the perfect obedience to Divine law, and the blessed shining of the heavenly hosts, impress
their wholesome lessons upon us of zealous activity without commotion or ostentation; of perfect obedience to the will of Him
who doeth all things well, who is too wise to err and too good to be unkind; and of letting the glory of the Lord which has illuminated
us shine from us in turn upon every beholder.
