What She Could"
From little things will spring great
things. Says Sir Humphrey Davs-.
Life is made up not of great sacri-
fees, but of little things in which
smiles and kindnesses and small OBJ
legations given habitually are what
win and preserve the heart and secure
comfort" Instances in the scriptures
where great things have sprung from
little things. Joseph in Egypt 1,aniel
in Babylon. the mother of the line
from whom sprang David and after
ward Christ.
We may not be able to do any great
things to deserve the praise of men,
but we can all do some little things,
and says Dean Stanley. Each one
of us is bound to make the little
circles in which he lives better and
happier, each one of us may have
fixed in his mind the thoughts, that
out of a single household may flow
the influence that shall stimulate the
whole commonwealth and the whole
civilized world"
Long, long ago there lived saint
so good that the astonished angels
came down from heaven to see how a
mortar could be so godly. He simply
went about his duty, difusing virtue
as star difuses light, and the flower
perfume, without even being aware
of 1t.
To sum up his day, he gave, he for
gave, yet these words never fell from
his Hps-they were expressed in
ready smile, in his forbearance and
charity.
With the earnest prayer that God
will direct us in all our doings with
his most gracious favor.
