Small Things.

"Despise not the day of small
things" About two hundred years
ago a peddler with a bundle on his
back entered a Shropshire village,
He called at a farm house and offer
ed for sale copy of "The Bruised
Reed" by Richard Sibber. The
farmer bought the book and his son
read it and through it found saliva
tion in Christ. That farmers son
was none other than Richard Baxter,
Baxter wrote book called "The
Everlasting Rest of the Saints"
which was read by a young man
who was led by it to consecrate him
self to the service of God. That
young man was Philip Doddridge.
He in his turn wrote a book called
"The Rise and Progress of Religion
in the Soul" That book was dill
gently perused by another young
man who was led by it to a life OF
holiness and widespread influence,
That young man was VIM. Wilber-
force. In his turn he wrote a book
entitled, "A Practical View of
Christianity" of which was blessed
the conversion of Leigh Richmond
and he wrote a book called "The
Dairyman's Daughter" A book
blessed by the conversion of hun-
dreds-perhaps thousands-of read
ers. Let us therefore take encourage
ment and labor in season and out OF
season for we known not which shall
prosper, this Or that.
