Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Walks of Usefulness
Value of Christlike habits of piety may have received only an inconsiderable portion of the attention of the modern church. When attention shall be given to them, in connection with an effort on the part of the church to develop, strengthen and direct, to a degree of completeness as yet unattained, the powers of usefulness brought within its pale by the accession of new members, then the value of correct religious habits will be as highly esteemed as their e?iciency is seen to be far reaching, constant and cumulative. If a habit of momentary usefulness, connected with the belief that God can be worshipped by our gifts and services, poor and imperfect at the best, becomes fixed in those now young in the church, to grow with their growth, and'strengthen with their strength, in?uencing their elder brethren, and descending as a priceless legacy to those who may come after them, an end will be achieved, through the riches of heavenly goodness, over which the Spirits of the just made perfect may rejoice. The following portrait of Walks of Usefulness, it is devoutly prayed, may contribute to the adoption of such a mode of life, and thus greatly increase the piety and peace, and augment the power to do good, of the many thousands of young Christians 13? Now' receiving alife-long impression of practical.
