Work and Worship.

We may serve God as truly in our work as in our worship. While Paul was in Corinth he was engaged at his trade of tent-making and preaehed as he had opportunity. Both alike he did for the glory of God. It is the will of Jehovah that man should work. “Six days shalt thou labor.** Thus our daily employment Is an appointed means of carrying out our Maker’s purpose. The Hindus, at one of their festivals, pay divine honors to their tools. The carpenter brings his saw and plane, the blacksmith his hammer, the farmer his rude plow; and bowing down they worship them. Not on rare occasion* bnt every day the spirit of adoration should be associated with our toil. Labor Is a part of the divine life. When we know the full extent at any danger, and can accustom our eye* to It a great deal of the apprehension vanishes. —Burke.
