we take our little watch, which we have

the 5000 years Of the worlds existence
have been only to God as from Monday
to Saturday.
But it is often the case that the re-
bound is quicker and the circle is sooner
completed. You resolve that you will do
what good you can. In one week you
put word of counsel in the heart of a
Sabbath school child. During that same
week you give letter o: introduction to
young man struggling in business.
During the same week you make an ex-
hortation in PRAYER meeting. 1t is all
gone; you will never hear Of it perhaps.

He says, Don't you remember thirty
years ago giving letter of introduction

He says: II am the man. That was my
first step toward fortune, but l have
retired from business now and am giving
my time to philanthropies and public in
terests Come up and see me-"
Or man comes to you and says: II
want to introduce myself to you. I went
into prayer meeting in Atlanta some |
years ago; sat back by the door; you
arose to make an exhortation; that talk |
changed the course of my life, and il I |
ever get to Heaven, under God will |
owe my salvation to YOU" In only ten,
twenty. or thirty years the circle swept
out and swept back again to your own
grateful heart
