True Christian Life.

"Did holy life consist Of one or two
noble deeds-some signal specimens Of
doing. or enduring, or sutfering-w e
might account for the failure, and reckon
ii small dishonor TO turn back in such n
conflict. Blu. holy life is made up Of a
multitude of small things. 1t is the little
things of the hour, and not the great
things of the age, that gill up life like
that OF Paul John, like that OF
Rutherford, or Brainerd, or Martyn.-
Little words, not eloquent speeches or
sermons little deeds, not miracles, nor
battles, nor one great, heroic act or
mighty martyrdom, make up the true
Christian life. The little, constant sun
beam, not the lightning: the waters OF
Sloah, that go softly in their meek
mission of refreshments, not the waters
Of the river great and many, rushing
down in torrent-no and force; are thr
true symbols of h o y life. The
avoidance of little evils. little indiscretion.
and imprudence, little foibIes, little in
duIgences of self and of the nesh, little
acts of Incidence or INDIGESTION, or sloven
illness or cowardce, little equivocauons
or alterations from high integrity, little
touches Of shabbiness and meanness, liz
tie bits OF covetousne.s and penuriousness,
little exhibitions Of worldlness and gay
ETY., little indifferences to the feeling. and
wishes Of others, little outbreaks Of tenn
per, or crossness, Of selfshness, or vanity
the avoidance Of such little things as
these, goes far to make up at least the
negative beauty of holy life. And
then attention to the little duties of lhe
day and hour, in public transactions, or
private dealings, or family arrangements
to little words, and looks, and tones
little beneyolences, or forbesrances, or
tenderness little self-denisls, and self
restraints, and self-forgetfulbesses; little
plans of quiet kindness aud thoughtful
consideration for others; to punctuali.y,
md method, and true aim in the ordering
f each day-these are the active devel-
pments of holy life, the rich and divine
nosaics of which it is composed. What
makes yon green hill so beautiful Not
be outstanding peak or stately elm, but
be bright sward which clothes its slopes, q
imposed of innumerable blades of send- o
: grass. 1t is of small things that great Il
. is made up; and he who will &C %
aowledge no life as great save that 8
hich is built up of great things, will NJ
