Finger Religion

"I SUPPOSE that John Atkins is one of your best weavers," said a clergyman who was being shown by the foreman through a great mill.

"Not much, he isn't," replied the foreman. "The trouble with John is that he stands around talking about his religion when he ought to be attending to his loom. He is a good enough fellow, and has the making of a fine weaver in him, but he has not yet learned that while he is in his weaving shed his religion ought to come out of his fingers and not out of his mouth."

A great deal of living must accompany a very little talking. And this is true zeal.—Record of Christian Work.
