A Good Example.

Bro. Cornell writes from San Francisco that a sister there has just sold a diamond ring for one hundred dollars, and put it all into their tract society. That ring now, instead of being an instrument for vain show, and fostering pride, which the Bible so strongly condemns, will go about doing service for the Master. And, perhaps, by means of some of the tracts which it sends forth, some soul may be saved; and in comparison with the value of one soul, the whole world is as nothing. This is putting out money to the exchangers with a prospect of a mighty increase. In time of war it is a most gratifying victory to be able to seize the enemy’s guns and turn them against their owners. So let us take the very means and instruments with which the devil designs that we shall serve him, and turn them against him, by using these very things in the service of God.
