BE WHOLE-HEARTED.

By Methodist Recorder

A HALF-HEARTED, hesitating service, it matters not to whom it is rendered, is generally irksome and unprofitable. But when a man works with enthusiasm and energy, he generally takes pleasure in his work, and his work proves profitable. This is as true in regard to men's efforts in religion as in anything else.

A man who seems to hesitate between the service of God and the service of sin, although he makes some little effort to be religious, has very little spiritual enjoyment, and does but little to promote the cause of Christ. A man must give his whole heart and life to the Lord if he would have true spiritual enjoyment in his service and be instrumental in promoting his cause. What we need is, more soul in religion, more consecration to the service of God, a single eye in all that we do to his glory. If this were the case there would be more happy Christians, and more successful Christian workers.—Methodist Recorder.
