WHATSOEVER YE DO"
The Epworth league topic for June 80
is found in John XIV. TIC; Col. ill., II;
| Math. XVIII, 1920 Whatsoever We do in
word or deed do all in the name of the
LORD Jesus. AS gold stands as the
name OF substance unlike any other, SO
| the name Of Christ stands for a distinct
conception of life as related to God and
men, and Christian has become the title
OF qualities Of human nature as peculiar
| as the qualities of gold.
Whoever loves Jesus and intends to be
true disciple strives to learn the way
in which the Master did things studies
His words and acts SO as to get at the
real thought and feeling which underlie
all, This is done in order the better to
have ''that mind that was III Christ"
1t il not in doing great things that we
follow in his footsteps, it is in doing the
small things of life, 1t is faithfuIneSs in
little things.
Business men themselves being wit
nesses. there is nothing more essential
to success in secular business than faith
fulness in little things. You may re-
gard your presence at or absence from
the evening prayer meeting as a little
thing. Your faithful attendance at the
meetings Of the committee of which you
are a member, your being present
promptly at the hour for the meeting
of the young peoples society, your TAX
ing part in the meeting, the visit that
you know you should pay the member CT
your class who is absent, your speaking
cordially to the stranger in the next
pew-an these may seem to you to be
little things, but just such little things
as these are the tests of your faithful
ness as a church member and servant OF
the Lord Jesus Christ.
