Business as a Means of Grace
It is not often we hear anything said about business as a means of grace. It is looked upon—and even by Christian men—as something with which grace has nothing at all to do. Business is business. The service of God is one thing, and buying and selling quite another! But how if it is not another? How, if it is only another form of his service? if God has his ear open to our bargains as well as to our prayers? if he tries our conduct in the counting-room by the same test by which he judges our spirit in the church. Why, it becomes business men very carefully to review this whole matter! Perhaps it may even turn out that this sort of infidelity is of a far more deadly kind than that which Col. Ingersoll seeks unblushingly to thrust upon his fellows.—Covenant.
