At six in the evening they were at liberty, when they again spent an hour in private meditation and prayer. The remainder of the even- ing was spent in labors of love, either at the desk or in the dwellings of the poor. Even his commonest occupations had acquired a new dignity in his eyes they were a part of his daily " living sacrifice. " " The love of Chr...ist, " we find him saying on one occasion, "enters voluntarily into all our concerns ; it will, and must, have its hand, not only in the greatest, but even in the smallest things.
