The highway of holiness is along the commonest road of life--along your very way. In wind and rain, no matter how it beats--it is only going hand in hand with Him.--_Mark Guy Pearse._ =September 24th.= _And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? Gen. xviii. 17._ Abraham, in communion with God, knew long before Lot, in Sodom, of the destruction of that city. Oh for more communion!--_Selected._ =September 25th.= _The life which I now live in the flesh. Gal. ii. 20._ I expect to pass through this world but once--therefore, if there be any kindness I can show or any good thing I can do to any fellow human being, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.--_Marcus Aurelius._ =September 26th.= _So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psa. xc. 12._ Every day is a little life; and our whole life is but a day repeated: whence it is that old Jacob numbers his life by days; and Moses desires to be taught this point of holy arithmetic--to number not his years, but his days. Those, therefore, that dare lose a day, are dangerously prodigal; those that dare misspend it, desperate.--_Bishop Hall._ =September 27th.= _Christ in you the hope of glory. Col. i. 27._ Religion is not the simple fire-escape that you build in anticipation of a possible danger, upon the outside of your dwelling, and leave there until danger comes. You go to it some morning when a fire breaks out in your house, and the poor old thing that you built up there, and thought that you could use some day, is so rusty and broken, and the weather has so beaten upon it and the sun so turned its hinges, that it will not work. That is the condition of a man who has built himself what seems a creed of faith, a trust in God in anticipation of the day when danger is to overtake him, and has said to himself, I am safe, for I will take refuge in it then. But religion is the house in which we live, it is the table at which we sit, it is the fireside at which we draw near, the room that arches its graceful and familiar presence over us; it is the bed on which we lie and think of the past, and anticipate the future, and gather our refreshment.--_Phillips Brooks._ =September 28th.= _Wait for the promise of the Father. Acts i. 4._ Tarry at a promise till God meets you there. He always returns by way of His promises.--_Selected._ =September 29th.= _This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1 John v. 4._
