Eemember that Jesus can be served now, and he who gives a cup of cold water to a disciple in His name, as truly minis* ters to Him as did this woman when she drew her pitcher from the well, and held it to His lips. But while the Saviour sought water from her hands, He aimed to reach her heart. If thou hnewest the gift of God omd who it is thai,^ eto. How near may we be to our greatest mercies, and not perceive them ! How many of heaven's blessings may rest u...pon our path, for which we oflfer no thanks, because we see them not. What a stream of mercy may flow through our dwell- ing, and sing as it flows, and we join not the song, while we drink of the water it brings!
