Lyt når som helst, hvor som helst

Wide and diversified is the work belonging to the Church of Christ. In the household of God there is no pillow for the indolent.

The term, 'an idle Christian', involves a contradiction. It has scarcely more meaning than a rayless suna waveless oceana noiseless waterfalla rose without perfume. In this community each member has his appointed place. "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them."

"Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord," is the universal rule.

The final welcome is, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

But my present object restricts thought to pastoral work. The selection of its subject arose from desire to sanctify Family Worship. He is the best of friends who helps his friend to pray. It may be presumed that such worship is an established institution in every Christian household. Countless are the resulting blessings. Its neglect would be grievous shamebase ingratitudeand sad loss.

It is scarcely possible to conceive an exercise more sweetmore happymore edifying. Many and loud are the calls to it.

For what spiritual joy can be greater than for the members of a house to unite in offering grateful praise for the common blessings which each morning and evening should commemorate, and to combine in joint supplication for protection from the perils which the day and night may bring. Especial needs will continually occur.

Rich is the mercy that we are permitted with united cry to bring such need before the Throne of Grace.
