5re~ we forgetting the Giver in the gifts, and seeking to have even these spiritual riches apart from God? If we are, and just so far as we are, will God with- hold from us His best gift Himself; and this very feast of good things He fias spread for us be to our souls but as unsatisfying husks. But we grow in grace not only by the right use of all means, but by the du^perfo_rmance_of all duties. For the soul's health, as for that of the body, there is needed the vigorous and active use of all i...ts powers. Disuse and decay are as clearly connected in the one as in the'other. The grace which we do not exercise, like the limb we never use or the faculty we never exert, withers and dies at last. The duties that are appointed us are not arbitrarily chosen, they are each of them de- signed to exercise and strengthen some one or other spiritual faculty. And the neglect of any one of these can never be compensated by any additional activity in' the performance of any other ; we never can omit any one of these without injuring and weakening some corresponding grace, without mak- ing our Christian character one-sided and distorted, Growth in Grace.
