He stood and measured the earth.—HABAKKUK iii. 6.
Every-day religion is the foundation of thoroughness; which is another name for truthfulness or honesty. Workmen who slight their work, whether they make shirts for a living, or sermons, build houses or ships, flocks or families, will be some day or other found out. We want clothes that will not rip, vessels that will not leak, and bridges that will not break down. So we want characters that will stand temptation, and not snap asunder under the sudden pressures of life.
