What a Trifle May Hide.

A LITTLE boy held a sixpence near his eye, and said, “O mother! it is bigger than the room!” and when he drew it still nearer, he exclaimed, “O mother! it is bigger than all outdoors!” And in just that way the worldling hides God, and Christ, and judgment, and eternity, from view, behind some paltry pleasure, some trifling joy, or some small possession which shall perish with the using, and pass away with all earth’s lusts and glory in the approaching day of God Almighty.

WATCH for little opportunities of pleasing, and put little annoyances out of the way.
