Judged by the Whole Life

NO MAN should be judged by a single act, but by the series of acts which makes up his moral character and indicates his destiny. Viewed at one point in his experience, Jacob was a deceiver; but when regarded in the main trend and ultimate development of his life, he appears as a prince of God. Observed at one point of his career, David was a brute; but taken all in all, he was a man after God’s own heart. It is the disposition and settled habit of life which determines a man’s character, and so his eternal future. Neither a devil nor a saint is made in a day.—N. Y. Observer.
