_Herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men_.--ACTS xxiv. 16. _I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye_.--PS. xxxii. 8. Oh, keep thy conscience sensitive; No inward token miss; And go where grace entices thee;-- Perfection lies in this. F. W. FABER. We need only obey. There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word. R. W. EMERSON. The heights of Christian perfection can only be reached by faithfully each moment following the Guide who is to lead you there, and He reveals your way to you one step at a time, in the little things of your daily lives, asking only on your part that you yield yourselves up to His guidance. If then, in anything you feel doubtful or troubled, be sure that it is the voice of your Lord, and surrender it at once to His bidding, rejoicing with a great joy that He has begun thus to lead and guide you. H. W. SMITH. July 3 _He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities_.--PS. cxxx. 8. Be it according to Thy word; Redeem me from all sin; My heart would now receive Thee, Lord, Come in, my Lord, come in! C. WESLEY. When you wake, or as soon as you are dressed, offer up your whole self to God, soul and body, thoughts and purposes and desires, to be for that day what He wills. Think of the occasions of the sin likely to befall you, and go, as a child, to your Father which is in heaven, and tell Him in childlike, simple words, your trials--in some such simple words as these--"Thou knowest, good Lord, that I am tempted to--[_then name the temptations to it, and the ways in which you sin, as well as you know them_]. But, good Lord, for love of Thee, I would this day keep wholly from all [_naming the sin_] and be very [naming the opposite grace]. I will not, by Thy grace, do one [N.] act, or speak one [N.] word, or give one [N.] look, or harbor one [N.] thought in my soul. If Thou allow any of these temptations to come upon me this day, I desire to think, speak, and do only what Thou willest. Lord, without Thee I can do nothing; with Thee I can do all." E. B. PUSEY. July 4 _Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in His fear, and was forsaken? or whom did He ever despise, that called upon Him_?--ECCLESIASTICUS ii. 10. _Remember, O Lord, Thy tender mercies, and Thy loving-kindnesses; for they have been ever of old_.--PS. xxv. 6. My Father! see I trust the faithfulness displayed of old, I trust the love that never can grow cold-- I trust in Thee. CHRISTIAN INTELLIGENCER.
