STEADY WORKERS.

THAT was a suggestive answer of the little boy, who, when asked if his father was a Christian, replied that he was, but that he did not work much at it at present. A similar remark was lately made by a working man at a religious meeting in Liverpool.

He said, "I used to be an 'odd job Christian,' but now I am working full time."

I am afraid there are too many "odd job" Christians; too many who engage now and again in the work of the Master, but who cannot be relied upon for steady work. In this connection it would be well to remember the fable of the tortoise and the hare. Even the slow, steady worker is better than the most skillful "odd job" worker. Reader what kind of a worker are you?

Can you answer this question? You should answer it, and more, you should answer it decidedly; answer it now. You know what you have been, what you are now; but there is no telling what you may be. The blessed Master calls on each of us to work in his vineyard. "Whatsoever is right," says he, "I will give you." The great want of our Zion is steady workers.—Sel.
