THERE is a small per cent. of people who have constitutionally an amiable and gentle make-up, and in whose souls' grace seems to work with comparative ease;—but the majority of us need to be mightily subdued, and transformed, both by grace and by discipline, to give us that patient, compassionate, and gentle type of religious life, which is most needed in the home. There is no place on earth where gentleness of spirit is more needed than in the home, and perhaps most people who are convicted for a deeper experience, get their conviction from a conscious lack of home religion. The requisite kindness and patience for home life can not be obtained simply by specific blessings, tho they are essential, but it must come by a deliberate and prayerful study of kindness of spirit. Those we love most are entitled to the best exhibition of our religion.—Selected.
