How to Write.

EFFECT OF SMALL THINGS.
EY BEVERLY.

God has created most striking analogy
between nature and man, and. as if to teach
him the value of small things through theil
mighty results, every formation of earth is
made up of minute particles. We look
upon the vast mountain with its rock
crowned head towering far up into the
clouds. with its great, rugged, rock girt
sides speaking, as it were, of everlasting
strength. and are awed into silence by the
not to Gull the one great lesson; j. e., that all
Is made up of insignificant particles. The
ocean, vast type Of eternity in its seeming
| boun dlessness and unfathomableness. with
all its mighty power for good and evil. is
formed Of globules SO minute that they
| must be magniied to be seen. The clouds
in their rolling majesty and soft. tender
depths are formed of the same tiny glob-
ules. We look upon these and feel an in.
finite delight, but are not instructed. so
prone is man to lose sight Of small things
in the presence of great ones. Nor is
the power of small things in the mighty
events of human life less evident than
in nature; yet here, too. does man refuse to
&C knowledge the fact in his daily life with
his fellow creatures. and goes on with little
neglects. slight wrongs and petty vexations.
never pausing to consider their weight in
the aggregate. or the quivering heart strings
they press upon; alike ignoring the fact
that life's happiness and righteousness to
God are made up Of truth. Justice, gentle
ness and kindness in all the little things of
life. Mans inflated pride is SO averse to
small things that he neglects a thousand
opportunities for making his life truly
great, even when he would do well, and
goes through almost q nonentity waiting
for an opportunity of some grand deed or
great work-that will not cost him too
much-and far too often sinks into the earth
