Influence.

“None of us liveth unto himself, and no man dieth unto himself.” Rom 14:7.
ONE of the mightiest facts in the universe is that every man, woman, and child exerts an influence. Every one is either a sower that sows and corrupts, or a light that splendidly illuminates; every one is as salt which purifies and preserves, or as canker which eats and destroys. All exert an influence. Some hold such positions that their influence is more extended than others, while there are lives which add their influence to the world unnoticed, shedding the sweet fragrance of their life upon humanity as a little flower unseen in a great forest pours out its sweet odors upon the breezes. “There are no moral blanks, no neutral characters among us.”—St. Louis “Christian Advocate.”
