Widen Your Interests

By Wells

WIDEN your interests, my brother, if you would flee the devil. I do not mean a diffused life; concentrate all you please, but concentrate upon the large concerns of the kingdom. Consider the healthfulness that flows from the single interest of missions,—the outlook over all the world, the insight into men and customs, the acquaintance with history, the knowledge of exalted biography, the development of the practical and the ideal, the enlargement of sympathies, the deepening of brotherhood, the verification of faith, the sense of being co-laborers with God. . . . It is a fresh, sweet broom of many fibers, sweeping the hidden corners of the soul.—Wells.
