Reader, is there q case of suffering
humanity in your vicinity that you
can reach and allevite? Is there a
widow or are there orphans to whom
you can extend q helping hand? Is
there an afflicted one whose SORROWS
YOU can assauage? Are there tears
you can wipe away? Or, is there an
aching heart from which you can lift
q burden? If you know any case OF
sadness or grief which you can allevi-
ate. happy are you if you speak the
word or do the deed which shall carry
blessings with it to some throbbing
human heart.
Religion does not consist in going
to church. This is all right and
proper. But the great Teacher who
"went about doing good" set an
example of benevolence that is one of
the crowning beauties of the character
of his true followers, and they who
fail to be like Him in this respect,
whatever they may do. are deficient
in one of the most important par
ticulars which marks the Christian.
The world needs the exemplifica-
ton of the doctrines taught by the
churches. One bright example which
clearly reflects the light of Christian
love has more potency than the most
eloquent sermon that ever fell from
mortal lips. We, by no means, dis
parage the influence of a living
ministry, but We are sure the most
powerful preaching is that which
speaks in acts, which comes with a
word to the thirsty, with q loaf Of
bread to the hungry, that visits the
sick in their affection, and extends a
helping hand to the fallen.
We disparsge nothing that men do
sincerely. 1t is better for an individual
to be honest and religious one day in
the week than not to be religious and
honest at all. But q solemn face in
church is all we'll enough if the man
feels solemn, but has not a 1.-THE of
the power which accompanies a smile
at the bedside of the sick, or the
touch of the tender hand which
''soothes the rugged brow of pain.
''Let your light shine" in the face of
suffering humanity. Let your salt
have its SAVIOR in good deeds, and the
world will be the better for your
living in it, and men will ''rise up and
call you blessed"
This day is particularly appropri-
ate to the exercises of these heavenly |
graces which pertain to human
brotherhood rs we'll as to Christian de-
pertinent. Tits a day of rest. not of
idleness, and should be pre-eminently
distinguished by good works.
