Education must be efficiently conducted. Whoever undertakes it ought to be competent and faithful. It must have agents empowered to examine, to appoint, or to dismiss instructors. It would be perfectly impossible, and if possible most injurious to establish any general system of education in which religious instruction should form no part.— Union Magazine. There is generally more of true piety exhibited in a faithful observance of the minor duties of religion, than those that excite the applause and notice of men. Improper motives may prompt to public duties, while those duties which escape men's eyes and are intended only for God's observation, are not likely to be practised. There is more piety in the devotion of Nathaniel, when he bowed alone beneath the fig tree, than in all the ostentatious prayer of the phylactery adorned Pharisees, in corners of streets. The poor widow who modestly cast into the treasury her hard earned mite, gave greater evidence of piety, than did the wealthy Jews whose golden coins rattled their own praises as they fell into the chest.—Christian Witness.
