Moreover, we may not refuse reliance upon God on the ground of our insignificance; for it is not conceivable that anything can be too little for God. The wonders of the microscope are quite as remarkable as those of the telescope; we may not set a bound to the Lord in one direction any more than in the

other. He can and will show his divine skill in a man's life, as well as in a planet's circuit.

Witnesses are alive to testify to the Lord's making bare his arm on the behalf of them that trust him. Any man may also put the principle to the test in his own instance; and it is memorable that none have done so in vain.

Boasting is a sure sign of failure; even Goliath, the giant, had hardly done boasting before his proud forehead was prone in the dust. Chase pride from your soul, for it is foolish, and the mother of folly; it is a noxious insect which will corrupt whatever

it lights upon, gaudy though its wings may be. Pride betrays the emptiness of its owner. The jewel of grace has humility for its casket. Gilded wood will float, but solid gold will sink.
