ONE THING AT A TIME.

ONE thing at a time is all that any man can do to advantage. Indeed, no man is of any special worth in behalf of any cause or interest which does not so absorb his energies, for the time being, that he would be loath to turn away from it in order to attend to anything else whatsoever. "This one thing I do," said Paul, for himself; and when Paul was counseling Timothy as to his duties, he said to him: "Give thyself wholly to them, that thy progress may be manifest unto all." He who would work as efficiently as Paul, or as Timothy, or who would have his progress made manifest to others, must do one thing at a time, and must give himself wholly to that thing. A divided mind is not even half a mind, in any direction.—Sel.
