Our devotion a re too ht1rried and our live are too rt1 hed. We have di gui ed fleshly ac tivity and called it service for God. We need to take earnest heed to that old hymn, Take time to be holy, Speak oft with thy Lord, Abide in Him always, Feed on His word. It i wonderful to know the truth of Scripture, but it is only a the e truth have a practical bearing in our live that they perform the purpose for which God gave them. Our Lord made it clear that the secret of happi- ne s lie in doing and not jt1st in knowing.
