We have to look well to our week-day services too. All, which might breathe on us gales from heaven, may come charged with the perfumes of our self-conceit. Alas for poor human nature, that it can satisfy itself with mere barren negations. Yet this was a characteristic of the Pharisee, '' God, I thank Thee that I am not as other men are. " Not to do things dishonourable ; not to do things mean ; to shrink from a falsehood as impaii'ing self-respect, what a dignity they give us in our own eyes !... Then to employ the poor in ministering to our lux- ui-ies, or give a coin now and then to Lazarus, or the annual guinea to a few religious or charitable objects, every one praises our liberality — who can deny then that we have, as our's, the Queen of vir- tues, the daughter of the great King, to j)resent us, as welcome denizens of the heavenly court? Or if we sec the need of more positive love, there are the domestic charities. We are eminently, peo- ple say, a domestic nation. We, at our best, idolize one another ; we magnify our petty offices to one another; we mirror ourselves in each other; we gratify our own or each other's selfishness, and call it love.
