" The perpetual battle of Christian principle is with that artful, cunning, many- headed sinner, Self. Pardon and eternal life are free gifts, but self- conquest is not a gift, it is an achievement. There is more pulp than pluck m a great deal that passes for piety. It is an audacious attempt to get a free ride to Heaven, with plenty of select company and good fare on the road. Will Dr. A. preach to- day I Will the music be up to the mark 1 Is it likely to clear 1 Then 111 try to go to church to- day.' With such a soliloquy on Sunday morning, how much grace is there likely to be left after the wear and tear of the week 1 The piety that Christ smiles upon is a piety that will stand a pinch and face a storm. The will of God is a perfectly straight path, and it leads directly up towards the Throne. Our will, and we all love to have our own way, is apt to be a crooked path, which follows the desires and devices of our own heart. We cannot tread in both. In fact, every attempt to walk in God's way, and in our own way at the same time, is very much like an attempt to walk down the street with one foot in the gutter and the other one upon the pavement. Our ' property' is a very misleading word. All we have are God's loans to us. The servants in our dwellings do not own the house, or the furniture or even the implements they work with. Grand Old Paul declared : I am Christ's servant ; I am not my own. I am bought with a price. These hands, whether they ply a tent needle or write an epistle, are Christ s ! Ilie humblest life is glorified by consecration to Jesus, even as a common bit of glass will flash and sparkle like a diamond if held up in the sunlight. And the more completely we give ourselves to Jesus, the more will He give Himself to us. What a bargain is that in which wo surrender our poor little emptiness, and He pours into us of the wealth of His inestimable gifts until we are filled with all the fulness of God !
