It has been well and truly said that it is not only wicked, but dangerous, to leave the poor unaided in their struggle to live; and we who sit cheerfully before our glowing grates should think, with "helpful pity, of the many shivering bodies without an em ber by which to warm; and of our plenty give to them. We who are warm and comfortably clad, should in generous mercy remem ber the ragged, the destitute, and help to clothe them, .forgetting not that 41 As ye do to the least of these, ve do it unto me." Though we 'Speak with .the tongues of men and angels; though we have the gifts of prophecy, and -understanding all mysteries, and all knowledge; though we have all faith, so we can remove all mountains, and have not Charity, we are as noth ing, and it profiteth us nothing.'

In the meetings and good works of the church there is a tendency among the young men to sjiirk some of the duties; and without the cooperation of all no great or good work 'can be perfected. To serve. "God to the. best of our ability is what we profess to do, and these apparently small things conspientfously done is serving Hint in a: more acceptable way than we perhaps realize, for the small and seemingly uniinportarit duties of life are very often fraught with large results.
