Consciousness of Gods Presence.


Do you say " cannot think Of God all
tho time2" answer, in one sense you
cannot, yet in another you can. You can.
not at every moment frame the thought of
God to your distinct conscioufness; yet
there may be latent consciousness of his
presence that need never leave you. See
that little child at his mothers side, wholly
engrossed in bis picture-book or his toys
He, surely, is not thinking Of his mother
But does a stranger enter, he seeks her
arms. Or does she rise to leave the room,
he is at once disturbed and uneasy he
follows her out, or stays impatient for her
return, thus showing that, deep beneath his
occupation for the moment, lies the restful,
gladdening thought of her protecting, loving
presence, thought ready at any instant to
fnd shape and voice. Such is the conscious
ness Of the present God, which we may
carry with us in our business hours, real
and inseparable when latent distinct and
imperative in every stress of need, our suff.
cient defense snd safeguard in every peril

Mislrirs Of SeIr.ImpOrtance.

Observe how self-importance makes a
man moody and unhappy. He who is al
ways thinking Of his own excellences rem
ders himself thereby unfit to enjoy the good
Of others, and is prone to imagine that ev.
cry token of affection given to another is
an insult to himself Hence he is touchy,
sensitive, irritable and envious. He takes
offence when none is meant, aud even when
those around him are not thinking Of him
at all he interprets their conduct as if it
were studiously discourtoous, and goes
through the world smarting from wounds
which have sprung not so much from neg
lect of others as from his own overween-
ing sef-conceit. There is no surer way to
make ourselves miserable than to think OF
ourselves more highly than we ought to
think. 1t isolates US from all about US. 1t
cuts us off alike from human sympathy and
divine assistance. 1t makes US very Ish-
maels, with our hands against every man,
aud every mans hands apparently against
us. 1t gives jaundieed hue to the behav.
Tor Of those who, SO far from meaning to
do evil to US, have our best interests at
heart, and love US with selt-sacrificing al.
fection. The man who has wound about
him, no matter where il may be, feels it to
b. always in his way. Let him do what
he will, or 60 where he may, he cannot
move himself but be is conscious of its
pain. In like manner, he who has this
feeling Of self-importance is continually
smartiDg- Somebody has been sighting
him. He is constantly complaining of hav-
ing been insulted, and when honor is given
to another he feels nothing but that he has
been overlooked, Thus he shuts himself
out from every festival, aud mopes most Of
all when others are merry. May GOD de-
liver us from this idolatry of self, on whose
altar all true nobleness and real happiness
are completely inundated l-Rep. W. M
Taylor.
