 He who waits to do great deal of good at once will never do anything Dr Johnson.
 We become like God when we become helpers of our fellowmcn in all good things Karl Hugh.
 Life is not done and our Christian char acter Ia not won,so long as God has any thing left for us to suffer or anything left for us to do.-[ Robertson.
 For every progress in strenuous work for God there must have been staying of the seltlshness which urges us to work in our own strength and for our own sake.-[ Huntington,
 The two main pillars of Christ's relig- ion are the depth of sin and the height of righteousness and noue but He could atone for the one and perform the other, -[Thomas Adam.
 We can never be at peace till we have performed the highest duty of all-till we have arisen and gone to our Father. -[MacDonald.
 Each one of Us Is bound to make the little circle in which he lives better and happier; each of us is bound to see that out of that small circle the widest good may flow; each of Us may have fixed in his mind the thought that out of single household may flow influences that shall stimulate the whole commonwealth and the whole civilized world.-[ Dean Stan ley.
 As the sun does not wait for prayers and incantations that he may rise, but shines at once and Is greeted by all, so neither wait thou for applause and shouts and eulogies, that thou mayest do well, but be spontaneous benefactor and thou shalt be beloved like the sum- Epictetus.
 Learn from nature not to divide your forces unduly. Her compromises fre- quently look like failures. The land is good for men to live on; the sea is good for fishes to live in; but sca-marsh is good for neither, being too wet for men and too dry for fishes.

 And hope in Him, whate'er betldc. Thoult find Him in the evil days
 Thy all sufficient strength and guide; Who trusts in Gods unchanging love,
 Builds on the rock that naught can move There Is no vacant place in the uni verse so suggestive us the empty grave of Jcsus.-[J. M. Pendleton.
 The love of Christ Is like the blue sky, Into which you may see clearly, but the real vastness of which you cannot meas ure. It Is like the sea, into whose bosom you can look a little way, but the depths are unfathomable.-[McCheyne Build little fence of trust, around today, FiIl the space with loving deeds and therein
 stay;
 Look not thro' the sheltering bars, upon to-
 morrow,
 God will help thee bear what comes of Joy or
 sorrow,
 lt Is Impossible to form the faintest es- timate of the good-the highest kind of good-which q single deyout soul may accomplish in a lifetime by spreading the holy contagion of the love of God in wid- ening circles around lt.--[ Frances Power
