SERVICE, UNSEEN

I heard of a young woman, a domestic in a home, who loved her

Savior and whose heart He had filled with a love for her fellow

men. Opportunities for service such as the world recognizes

were few, but every night she was accustomed to gather the

daily papers after they had been thrown aside. Taking these to

her room she used to cut from them the list of death notices,

and laying these before her she knelt and in prayer commended

those in sorrow to the gracious help of her Father in heaven.

She did not know them, but they were in sorrow, and in the only

way she could she ministered to them. We are not judges, but I

much mistake if in the eyes of Him who judges not as man judges,

such service as that does not rank high up above the princely

gifts that attract the attention of the world.--ROBERT

JOHNSTON.
