And, to avoid t!<fte dangers of the study and the student, I got into touch by systematic visiting with my people. It was a life of unremitting toil; I felt that it was not mv own; I knew that I must live wholly to receive and to utter the word of God. There might he Recreation, holidays, the intercourse with friends; hut all must be subordinate? ‘to the main object, and then they contributed to the main object, as much as. sometimes more than, the specific toil.
