That they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.—Titus 2:10.

BY my sincere love of the truth, and by my faithful conduct as a Christian, do I let my light shine, and so commend religion to all about me? Do I lay aside the false idea that I must have a certain position in the world's estimation, before I can have influence for good over others? And do I endeavor habitually so to live, that all may take knowledge of me that I have been with Jesus, and so be led to him?

We can do more good by being good than in any other way.—ROWLAND HILL.

By doing without weariness, and suffering without murmuring, by having your hands active in God's service, and your feet swift to run in the way of his commandments—thus may your bodies be used by the spirits within them, for the hallowed service of the Master. Dust they are; but they can bring praise to him who hath formed them.—T. HAWEIR

Who are a blessing? Who themselves the blest? Who win the wandering to the Saviour's rest? They who have kept their sympathies awake, And scattered joy for more than custom's sake; Steadfast and tender in the hour of need; Gentle in thought, benevolent in deed; Their looks have power to make dissensions cease; Their smiles are pleasant, and their souls are peace.
