SLOWLY through all the universe, that temple of God is being built. Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing wall a living stone. When in your hard fight, your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being, and give your- self to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life, a living stone, is taken up and set into that growing wall. . . . Wherever souls ...are being tried and ripened, in whatever com- monplace and homely ways ; there God is hew- ing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to lie a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills. PHILLIPS BROOKS. Blessed is any weight, however overwhelming, which God has been so good as to fasten with His own hands upon our shoulders.
