Bits of Things.

The fear of God is the beginning of
wisdom.
Find Your place, fill your place. and
10. the kingdom Of God.
Every little Christian duty IS a big
argument for foreign missions. Just
trace il and see.
The Bible is the mirror before which
every one can see himself unless he is
spiritually blind.
According as God alone is more and
more our true portion, SO is our progress
in holiness.
The one who gives up easy in his re-
ligious duties makes poor progress in
his Christian life.
Music makes the soul and lifts it high.
and wings it with sublime desires and
fits i: TO bespeak the Deity-Addison
The grand essentials to happiness in
this life are something to do. some
thing to love. and something to hope
for.-Addison.
Virtue consists in doing our duty in
the several relations we sustain, in re-
spect To ourselves. TO our feIlow-men.
and TO God rs known from reason,
conscience and revelation.
A man may think he has faith. NAV
say he has faith. and yet be without
faith. But if his life is pure and holy
and earnest. he knows that he has gen
uine faith, faith which worketh by
love-"
When one is in a foreign country he
feels HIMSELF To be a representative of
his OWL and wishes 10 honor it by be-
ing worthy OF it. Our citizenship is in
heaven. and we should so live as TO
honor that better country.
How many lay up riches which they
never enjoy. to provide for exigencies
that never happen, to prevent troubles
that never come, sacrificing present
comfort and enjoyment I'm guarding
against the wants of a period they may
never live TO see.-Jay.
