The sin of a moment may blight the whole life. God never made anything too small for nis use. To give and grudgc. is no be.tter than not to give at all. The prompting motive of all cheerful giving must be lore. Whoever will obey God, will be sure to find his way to hixn. Where there is no self-culture, there Is no knowledge of true life. If a man has no friends, it generally means that he deserves none. To close our hearts againat a bro' her. Is to shut heaven against ourselves. No trial can come to the Christian that may not teil him more of God. Bome preachers forget that sheep da not stand on their hind legs to eat. The man who takes the Bible for hls gulde, cannot live an aimless life. Showing our best side to others, will cause them to show their best side to I us. We are aure to be bound in the devll's ropes, if we fail to break hi threads. The de-vil can meet eloquence without trouble, but he has never been able to stand before love. The man who spends his life in trylng to make this world like heaven, does godlike work. A right state of heart cannot be maintained, without keeping a close watch on the tongue. Bread from God's taWe can be counted on in super-abuntance by those who faithfully do his wovk. Many a churdh member makes too much noise la his politics, and keeps too stijl in hls religión. Hoardlng up money in a miserly way, can never bo done without making a beggar of tihe man who does it. Freedom from want Is not for the strongest lion, but it may be enjoyed by the weakest of the Lord's sheep. Don't spenJ a minute in trying to oount tñe hypocrites in the church. Better. try to count the meroles of God.
