MARKING TIME.

THERE is a good deal of religious life that is much like the practice of “marking time” among soldiers. They lift up one foot and then put it down in the same place; then they lift up the other foot and put it down in the same place. They are marching, but they are not moving. In other words, they are but going thru the motions of a march. So it is with many professors. They are but marking time. They are “going thru the motions” of a Christian life, but they are not getting on. They are saying their prayers, but they are not praying; they are going to church, but not to heaven; they are talking in meeting, but bearing no testimony.—Church Army Gazette.
