All Diligence.

The same law governs in the spiritual
as in the temporal life. The Christian
above all others should not loiter about
his Fathers business. There is much to
do The time is short.
He must have "all diligence" that
every Christian virtue abound and then
he "shall not be barren nor unfruitful in
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Having love for the work, cheerfulness
of spirit and all diligence. he can say:
Il can do all things through Christ
which srrangtheneth me-" -

Love for Work.

What the Christian can accomplish re-
lates largely to the love for the Masters
work
The familiar scene at the we'll affords
a beautiful illustration of the Great
Teachers delight in His work

ising opportunity for service Weary and

Longing for Leisure.

Yet how many there are who are dis
contentedly and anxiously looking for
ward to an hour. when they shall have
leisure to do nothing, or at least to do
only something they feel like doing. They
wistfully long for the coming of days
of idleness and rest. But the wise are
not so. Work is natures law.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou
eat bread, till thou return unto the
ground
Happiness is not found in idlenesS, but
in action. The worker lives the longest
and enjoys life the mcst.
1T is not work that kills men; it is
worry. Work is healthy You can
hardly put more upon a man than he can
bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. 1t
is not the revolution that destroys the
machinery, but the friction.

The Help Needed.

What Christian can do consists large
ly in what seems to be little things, but
which in the aggregate are the really
great things in life. There are a great
many people who are considering about
doing some tremendous thing when there
isn't any tremendous thing to be done.
They might often do all things that
are needed Or possible to do by loving
word.
Profuse offers of service are not near
so important as the giving of help at
the time it is needed. =
This thought finds illustration in the
saying of slave. His master was dy-
ing and called his servant and told him
| that he had arranged in his will that he,
the servant, was ultimately to be buried
in the family grove.
The old slave said. ''Ten dollars would
Flowers at the funeral are appropriate
gifts from those who gave flowers Of
love and affection, to the living.
Do It Now.
do it now" is good motto. 1t is
often seen in the offices of business men; ;
but it is equally applicable for those en-
gagged in the Masters business.
II can do all things" required Of me
only by doing now and with all my
might whatsoever my hands find to do
"All service ranks the same with God, -
said Robert Browning, there is no last
nor first
There is but one object in Christian
service. and that is to please God. When
our motive is, to serve ourselves it is not
part of Christian service, though in
unselfish service of God and others we
render the highest and best service to
ourselves
The Il cam in true Christian parlance
does not refer to what can be done for
self. but to what can be done for the
Master.
Doing and thinking, and hearing and
seeing, eating and drinking, and working
and being just to please Jesus!''

Meat and Drink.

Men who are wearied do not want to
talk or teach, yet when the disciples
came back they found Jesus eagerly
conversing with the Samaritan woman
telling her Of the water of life In these
wonderful words. "Whosoever shall drink
of the water that I shall give him shall
never thirst: = but shall be in him a
well of water springing up into everlasting
life"
He was hungry, but found his meat and
drink in doing the will of Him that sent
Him. In His human nature He was as
dependent on daily bread and water as
We are; yet He would rather work than
eat, rather teach than taste the waters
Of the deep well. He found joy and de-
light in doing His Fathers will.
The one. who loves the Masters work
can accomplish great things. The II
can do of the Christian means a great
deal when there is joy and delight in
the doing.
Evening star., 1913-04-12
The Cheerful Spirit.

All our service is to be rendered in a
spirit of cheerfulness.
The moody or unhappy Christian is
not the one who "can do all things -
Cheerfulness should not be intermittent,
but constant from the beginning to the
ending of earthly doing. Like Paul. joy
ing even in tribulation, in the knowledge
that all things work together for good
to them that love God.''
There should be no wearying in we'll
doing.
Are you not wearying for the heaven
ly rest?" was asked Of an aged clergy
man.
