The Service of God.

THIS service comprehends all that pertains to seeking the honor and approbation of God in all things; living unto God; embodying his will and pleasure in our hearts and lives; striving to do all things whatsoever he has commanded. In something of a right understanding of the case, the psalmist said, “Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.” The same spirit breathes in the words of Philip Doddridge,
“My gracious Lord, I own thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight To hear thy dictates and obey.” —Watchman.
