Alabaster Boxes.

THE hearts of some young Christians are quite like Mary's alabaster box. They are full of the sweet incense of praise and love to Christ, and almost bursting with the sweet messages and expressions of the Holy Spirit, but they are closed. No one about them receives the sweet incense, nor is made to rejoice, because the costly ointment is imprisoned. The possessor moves among men, but the alabaster box is closed, and none are aware of its riches, and none are blessed and refreshed by it. O, young people, pour this sweetness of praise and testimony and service out now, at the Master's feet, and do not wait for some great stroke to fall and break the box for you! Are there not Christian misers hoarding treasures? Are there not alabaster boxes that should be broken?—Central Christian Advocate.
