It is quite a mistake to fancy that religion belongs only to the highest, and what are called duties of life. While she rises to the highest, she also stoops to the meanest occupations. They are doing the work of the Lord who sweep a floor, or guide a plow, or operate a dairy, or sit over a desk, with a desire so to do their work as to glorify God. All work done from such motives, and for such an end, becomes the work of the Lord. Thus our life, in all its phases, entirely spent in the work of the Lord should flow on like a river, which, no matter how rough its bed, short or long its course, tame or grand the scene through which it passes, springs from a lofty fountain, and, born of the skies, bears blessings in its waters, and heaven reflected in its bosom.—
