There are many natures that do not
take on influence easily. It lies in
them until, by-and-bye, storms or trou-
bles bring it forth.
There are now before me, do not
doubt, multitudes of men and women
who can testify that God has blessed
to them the labor Of some parent,
some pastor, some class leader, some
obscure and humble friend, working
by their side on the farm, or in the
shop, long after the benefactor had
gone. You can look back and say, II
see the tendencies that he planted in
me, and that now have brought forth
fruit in me to the honor of God, and
to my souls regeneration. can see
that this work was begun by him in
such and such manner; and he died
and knew not what he had done; but
am to-day what / am, in part,
through the blessing of God, by that
persons fidelity" / can trace not a
few in the long past who left their inn
preston upon me. They never knew
it until they rose to heaven. 1t may
be given to us there to see what we
have really been about in life. Some
where, at some time. all good work
will avail. 1t is not lost.-Henry

The Present Hour.

IT is great thing to know just
when is the most favorable hour for
speech or for action. There are mo-
ments when we can gain more by
improving the present than we can
ever hope to by waiting for coming
precious hours, or by seeking to make
good past neglected hours. In Gods
service the accepted time is ever now.
We never had an occasion SO precious
for right thought or action as the
present time. If we neglect this. its
like will never come again. What
blessing it is to have so much pivot
on the present hoysrl God help us to
improve the hour Alright! And God
is ready to do this.
