THE CHEERFUL TRAVELLER
COMMON-PLACES. j "Common-places,” you say. Vs; common-places, which wo.nl means ! two tilings--truth that ailed us all, j and also truths which, because they are so universal and so entirely believed, are all but powerless. Surely it is not Lime to stop preaching such truths as long as they are forgotten by the overwhelming nutjoritV <*t the people who acknowledge them. Thank God, the staple of the work of us preachers is the reiteration ol common-places, which His goodness has made familiar, and our indolence and sin have made stale and powerless. A. jMaclaven.
-X- -X- * * Anger is like an over-hasty servant who runs off with alt speed helorc he has heard half the message. * * * * God metes not out our iile in one long length ; But in a tendered way. Have faith: and taka; thy bread, thy cross, thy strength, Just clav by day.
