Small Things.

A YOUNG lady once presented me with a book-mark having the inscription "God bless yon," and exacted the promise that it should be placed in my Bible, bnt never to remain a day opposite the same chapter. Faithful to my promise, I took it home, and, rnbbing from the lids of my Bible the dnst of a week, I placed it in the first chapter of Matthew, and daily read a chapter and changed its place. I had not read long before I became interested as I had never been before in this good book; and I saw in it truths, that I was a sinner, and mnst repent if I would be saved. I then promised God that I would seek his face at the earliest opportunity, and, if he saw fit to convert my sonl, that I would spend my life in his cause. It came; I sought his face, and received the smiles of his love; and now now I have a hope within me, "big with immortality;" and all do I attribnte to that book-mark, and the grace of God. Oh, my readers, "despise not the day of small things." A word spoken in season, a simple Christian act, a sincere, simple prayer, may turn a poor wandering sinner from the error of his ways.—Sel.
