Daily Doing.

Let US day by day do all the good we
can. The apostle was intent on beneti-
cent action, and day by day he sought
strength for such action, and looked for
renewal through it. He did not put his
faith in the periodical doing of great
deeds, but in the faithful pursuit of a
daily helpfulness. In one Of her letters
Miss Havergal writes: The bits of
wayside work are very sweet. Perhaps
the odd bits, when al is done, will
lily come to more than the seemingly
greater pieces!-the chance conversa-
tions with rich and poor, the seed sown
in odd FIVE minutes, even the tables
d'hote for me, and the rides and friends
tables for YOU" This doing Of good in
a small way at every opportunity makes
many rich. Said the painter of antiq-
uity: mo day without its line" and so
one by one his masterpieces came to
perfection. Let our motto be: mo
day without it's bene6cent deed, al
though that day may be simple and OBJ
scure," and we, too, shall turn out mas
terpieces which no mere artist can rival.

Spiritual Sustenanoe.

We cannot always sit at the COM
munion table. We partake Of the feast
not so much as Il luXury-thoush it is
that-but to give us strength to work.
We think our Sabbath services, our
prayers, our Bible reading. are our re-
iigiou. 1t is not so. We do these things
to help us to be religious in other
things. These are the mere meals, and
a workman gets no wages for his meals
1t is for the work he does. The value
Of this communion is not estimated yet.
1t will take the coming week to put the
value upon it. In itself it counts little:
we shall see what it is. by what We shall
be.-Drummond.

Forbearnnce of rhe Holy Spirit.

You meet with persons whom it is
impossible to comfort reminding one of
the man who locked himself up in fet-
ters and threw the key away, so thae
nobody could unlock him. l have found
some in the fetters of despair. "Oh, l
am the man." say they, that has seen
affiiction; pity me, pity me, o my
friends" and the more you try. to COM
fort such people, the worse they get;
and therefore, out of all heart, we
leave them to wander alone among the
tombs of their former joys. But the
Holy Spirit is never out of heart with
those whom He wishes to comfort. He
attempts to comfort us. and we run
away from the sweet cordial; He gives
some sweet draught to cure us, and we
will not drink it; He gives SOME Won
drous potion to charm away all our
troubles, and we put it away from us.
Still He pursues us; and though we say
that we will not be comforted, He says
we shall be, aud when He has said, He
does it.; He is not to be wearied by all
our sins. not by all our murmuringS.-
SpurgeOn.
