To Thy Work.
" Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it
with thy might." That is splendid advice at
any time, for any occasion, but it seems to have
a special appropriateness and force for the pres
ent day. When others are doing so much, and
serving so heroically and self-sacrificing -ly,
it would surely be a most incongruous and
tragic thing if we were to spend our days in
listlessness and indifference, and withont any
high and holy ambition fon the common good.
To do nothing earnestly, to attempt nothing that
is difficult, to sacrifice nothing that is precious
and worth while, would surely be to prove our
selves out of touch with and unworthy of the
day in which we live ; this day of days in the
history of the world. The time calls for work,
for work that demands the best that is in us,
for work that seeks some other good than mere
ly our own. And if we are not responding to
that call with sincerity and faithfulness we are
proving ourselves traitors to humanity in a day
when we are sorely needed. -The Christian
Guardian.
