Man . . . must wrestle with everything that tends to gain too much hold upon him till he has taught it its proper place, and (hen in the hour of temptation he will find that his will does not fail him. It is his attitude towards the small things that will decide those great moral conflicts upon which the welfare or ruin of hie soul depends.—Father Maturin. Very fair, no doubt, were the flowers of Paradise given into the keeping of the first human pair, but how, in fairness or in beauty, could they compare to this tiny baby flower—the latest planted in God's garden of the world, and given to be nurtured to perfection by a father and mother.. Verily, in this garden God's angels shall walk betimes, and God Himself come often to see how His gardeners are doing their work.—Rev. Joseph Farrell.
