And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.—COL. iii, 17.

It is not the deed we do,

Though the deed be never so fair,

But the love that the dear Lord looketh for,

Hidden with holy care

In the heart of the deed so fair.

H. M. KIMBALL.

Good deeds are very fruitful; out of one good action of ours the Lord produces a thousand, the harvest whereof is perpetual.

BISHOP HALL.

No good that has been truly meant, though in the midst of mistakes, shall, in any upshot of life, be utterly lost. In the end of things the angels shall always come and gather the wheat from among the tares.

ADELINE D. T. WHITNEY.

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

HENRY DRUMMOND.
