romuaring Ourselves Among Our.
selves.

.Measuriny themselves by themselves,
,,d comparing themselves among them
..,ves. men are not wise" because they are
leccivcd BY false measurement. Truth
;s q fixture, and duty grows from truth.
rr,,h is the eternal measure of God. We
,s;,her set the measure to suit ourselves,
,or NAV change it to suit our whisns. We
!, rot conform it by conforming to one
.,,,t,er. All the weights and measures
Of the city may agree with each other, and
.,,.r all be deficient TO sell by such
weights and measures would be none the
,.ss crime, because all the dealers adopt
them. There is Il standard fixed by con.
,ress. and eacl, dealer is bound, whatever
s.hers do, to conform.
There is standard of Christian TRUTH
tits not the average virtue OF men, even
Of the best men. No deficiency of one can
lower the standard for another. No gen.
ral depression OF spirituality can by Il
hairs breadth reduce the standard Chris.
,ian truth comes to every man, and meas
ures his duty. If his proper load be 100
pounds, he may not take lighter, because
the man at his right hand carries less;
neither should he overload himself, be-
cause the man at his left carries more. We
often hear the remark, ~ gave SO much
i was more than was able to do, but 9TH
ers were doing SO and so, and could do no
less; they all expected it OF the" There
is nothing in that either Christian or manly.
II it be true, it is cowardice; il not, il is
hypocrisy. Every man should carry his
full burden, even though all others refuse.
We have seen Il child at work with his
father. Every time his father carried a
great basket full Of corn to the wagon, the
child took smaller one. He never tried
to lift his fathers basket; never threw
down his own. Except We he converted
and become as little children, yc shall no,
enter into the kingdom Of heaven
Our Christian work is sadly hindered by
this comparing ourselves among ourselves
Instead Of asking, What wilt thou have
me to do?" we ask, "What are others do
mg?" We once knew Of a parish distrib
uted for missionary contributions. In ONT
district the contribution was started at 81
and the whole neighborhood was graded
BY that. In the next the start was at ,!
cents, and though fully as able, this distric
gave but fourth as much as the first dis
trict.
Truth and the law Of love have little t
do with numbers. They deal with eact
man by himself: No averaging Of men car
prescribe the task Of each. Each for him
self must do his own work, answer for hi
own life, and bear his own judgment. II
his own master each standeth or falleth
standeth fast as surely though he be alone
falleth just as hopelessly, though lo,oot
fal, beside him.--1d7wnrc.
