The Power of Small Acts

IN a sermon on the feeding of the five thousand by our Lord, a minister lately spoke of the lad who brought the barley-loaves, and the woman who made them. Little did she think as she pounded the grain, and mixed the dough, and tempered the heat of the oven, that her loaves were to feed the gathered companies, who sat down in orderly ranks on the green grass, and were refreshed by a meal presided over by Christ. As little do we know whereunto one small act of ours may grow. The obscure agents in this world are often stronger than those which are seen.—Intelligencer.
