were withheld until after he had pleaded.

God End RnsInr.n.

l have sometimes been asked if Goo
will help man in his business. MY
answer is that it is for the man to help
God in his business. If the mans bust,
ness is Gods business then God will help
him in it; but if it be not Gods business
why should he expect that God will help
him in it? There is but one business in
the world worth any ones attention. 1t
is the business of love, of service, of
heipfulness to others. If one be engaged
IN this business, if his mind is firm in
this undivided and settled purpose, and
if he believes that God is working at
this business also and III the same spirit
of love he will be at perfect peace, be-
cause his purpose is firm and he is work.
