And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
                                            - 2 Chiron. xxxi.21

      What shall we do, that we might work the
    works of God?                    - John vi. 28


              Give me within the work which calls to-day,
                To see Thy finger gently beckoning on;
              So struggle grows to freedom, work to play,
                And toils begun from Thee to Thee are done.
                                              J. F. Clarke


GOD is a kind Father.  He sets us all in the places where He wishes us to be employed; and that employment is truly "our Father's business." He chooses work for every creature  which will be delightful to them, if they do it simply and humbly.  He gives us always strength enough, and sense enough, for what he wants us to do; if we either tire ourselves or puzzle ourselves, it is our own fault.  And we may always be sure, whatever we are doing, that we cannot be pleasing Him, if we are not happy ourselves.
