The Fountain of the Heart

By Christian Witness

THE external life is a stream flowing from the fountain of the heart. Some ministers are ever exhorting the people to live, when, indeed, they have nothing to live. Many persons are ever trying to mend their lives, as if attention to a stream would purify its waters. It is the fountain that needs attention. This purified, and the streams take care of themselves. A holy heart will produce a holy life, while a blameless life may cover a corrupt heart, and hence deceive the world by its hypocrisy. Let us get the fountain pure. —Christian Witness.
