Timely Reflection.

Thb preacher robs his church who undertakes to do everything himself. The devil feels about sure of the man who isn’t quite ready to be saved. God has never had any use for a man who was not willing to do little things. Before any man can draw on God for help he must be willing to help others. No one ever did a great thing for God who did not begin by doing little ones. No theology is right that gives God a character that children cannot love. The love of God can not mean very much to the soul that has not suffered. Abottt the poorest occupation you can find is to sit down and admire yourself. It is a good thing to know right principles, but it is a better one to love them. Every day that a sinner remains a sinner the devil gets a tighter hold upon him. The most glorious thing about every new day is that we may live in it for God. The hand that gives pleasure to- a child d'oes something that is noticed' im heaven. How soon we might all become rich if we were only willing to do it in God's way. A good time to trust in God is when you discover glaring faults in a Christian brother. If yon profess to be a Christian, be one all over. Don’t be a stool pigeon for the devil. One of the gravest offenses against another is to differ from him in religious opinions. Bad habits are Philistines who put out the eyes of Samson and make him grind in a mill. The Bible is the only book ever written that will tell us the whtle truth about ourselves.
