WORKING WITH GOD.

By E. E. Hale

TAKE hold with God in His steady work for lifting up the world, and you shall fairly forget that there are these grasshoppers and crickets screaming and chirping and asking questions around you, even if they aspire so far, in their wrangling disputations, as to doubt whether there be any world, be any heaven, be any God, or any life worth living. Let your vine blossom and bear fruit, let the fruit ripen and hang in fragrant and luscious bunches heavy upon the bough, and you do not put the knife to the bark to see if the vine is alive. Nay, you do not argue with any one who asks you if it be worth the manure you spread about its roots. Live in the life which enlarges, live with all your might in the life of God, and you forget that any one has asked whether life is worth the living.—E. E. Hale.
