Better be dead, inert matter a stone, a clod than a stinging reptile, or a destroying demon. We constantly forget that this life of ours is, as to everything mental and spiritual, the sowing time, not the time of reaping. The second thing to regard is, the manner in which this duty is to be performed; that is to say, unweariedly: "Let us not be weary in well-doing."

B. The confession of time will be the ascription of all eternity: "By the grace of God I am what I am!" Supposing that Sunday School teacher had built the pyramids, it would have been undeniably a great result of persistent labour, but it would have been such labour as would last at the longest for a limited time, and its use would be problematical, for we are not very sure why and for what the pyramids were built. Viney, D. D.It is the part of religion to teach man to do well. Two travellers crossing the Alps were freezing to death. As they skirt a perilous precipice he cannot pray, Lord, hold up my goings in a safe path, that my footsteps slip not, but as to my guide and companions, they must look out for themselves.' Love may be compared to the rod of myrtle in the traveller's hand, which refresheth him, and keeps him from being weary in his journey. The PROSPECT OF REWARD. To give you an instance of the use which is always made of it, I may mention the place where we are told that the Jews found fault with Christ because He made Himself equal with God, saying that God was His Father: "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." And this supposes that we have been converted from the evil of our ways, for we cannot do well in the ways of depravity and practical evil.2.

The seasons revolve, and each appears clad in a different garb. Love of truth, honour, goodness, are contained in it, as well as (v. 10) help to humanity around. The man who is resolved to ruin himself has the evil propensities of his fallen nature to help him. In a broad view of the Christian profession, it is a volunteer service for the help of Christ in lifting the burden of the sin and misery of mankind. The second thing to regard is, the manner in which this duty is to be performed; that is to say, unweariedly: "Let us not be weary in well-doing." We now propose to consider more fully why this James Hudson TaylorSeparation and ServiceConcerted Prayer"A tourist, in climbing an Alpine summit, finds himself tied by a strong rope to his trusty guide, and to three of his fellow-tourists.

Watson.The husbandman doth not desire to reap till the season; he will not reap his corn while it is green, but when it is ripe; so we shall reap the reward of glory in due season; when our work is done, when our sins are purged out, when our graces are come to their full growth; then is the season of reaping; therefore let us not be weary of well-doing, but hold on in prayer, reading, and all the exercises of religion; we shall "reap in due season, if we faint not."(T. Well-doing is is the broad evidence of the Christian calling. This is what he is specially called to the business of his life his "being's end and aim."1.

The husbandman sows his seed, which, in the act of sowing, passes out of sight. "The work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever." His well-doings were not to make himself a name or a praise in the earth; he was no mountebank, who for a season sought to attract the gaze and admiration of men, in order that upon the pinnacle they should raise for him he might stand and enjoy his transient life of honour and worldly reputation. Bow to a higher will.3. All holy men have been acquainted practically with well-doing. Another cause of this weariness is the want of success.5. Coming to this country about 1895 he was appointed pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Metropolitan Tabernacle, New York. THE MOTIVE THE TEXT ASSIGNS.

Text--But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.--2 Pet. It is well-doing. He does not always, alas, do right; but it is the object of religion of revelation to induce him to do so. THERE IS WELL-DOING OR GOODNESS THAT IS INCUMBENT ON US, viz., sowing to the Spirit. The Apostle has been exhorting to unwearied well-doing, on the ground of the certain coming of the harvest season. H. BeibitzGloria Crucis21ST DAY. So in His "own season" that is, the season which is peculiarly adapted for the purpose; the season which God knows to be the most appropriate; the season that shall best fit in to all the other declarations which God shall make of His majesty, His justice, and His power, as well as His love, His mercy, and His grace: at that time "we shall reap, if we faint not." Genuine conversion to Christ is not a mere human act of calling Christ our Savior. There are attitudes toward money and toward the teaching of God's Word which cannot continue to coexist with true saving faith in the all-sufficiency of Christ. A second thought which the text suggests is that the Christian vocation comprehends something more than the mere purpose, or project of good. Parkes Cadman is one of the many immigrant clergymen who have attained to fame in American pulpits. WELL-DOING. It may be found in the depths of the valley, amid streams and rocks, or in the city, amid lofty towers, temples, and palaces, where the "Te Deums" of thankful hearts may meet and swell into one of earth's loudest anthems before the throne of heaven.3.

Perseverence will bring success, success will inspire courage, courage will bring victory, and victory will be followed by glory.3. Sunday School teaching is sowing. One morning a man found the snow all piled up before his door. And to holy David indeed it might more justly be said, that he ought not to have been angry; no, not with one however ungrateful and rendering evil for good; yet if, as man, anger did steal over him, he ought not to have let it so prevail, that he should swear to do a thing which either by giving way to his rage he should do, or by breaking his oath leave undone. Again: unwearied continuance in "well-doing" has the distinct promise of success.(G. Spurgeon. So, for instance, you remember he puts Alexander MaclarenExpositions of Holy ScriptureThe Glory of the Cross"God forbid that I should glory save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ."--GAL.

(4)Well-doing requires sacrifices, and we are prone to selfishness. To have generous minds.2. One more occasion of inconstancy in well.doing may be adverted to, and that is the most powerful of all the natural disinclination of the mind to doing well at any time.1. Patience, industry, and perseverance: are the three great elements of success in life. It will be objected that, by this way, mysteries will not be made known.

Weariness in well-doing is part of the universal weariness; the slow movement of the flesh under high compulsions; the deadness of the soul itself to truth, and Christ, and the eternal world. He moves them to deal mildly with a brother who has slipped,2. And as the farmer has long patience, so ought we to have long patience. Many say, if I were but sure of doing good, God knows I would try. "Where is your husband, Sapphira?" His house is not confined to any one particular spot; it may be found on the broad ocean, in the midst of the desert waters, where the ship is turned into a sanctuary, and the incense of prayer and praise be made to ascend from her cabin or her decks. .

For those who are bound in wedlock are to be admonished that, while they take thought for each other's good, they study, both of them, so to please their consorts as not to displease their Maker; that they so conduct the things that are of this world as still not to omit desiring the things that are of God; that they so rejoice in present good as still, with earnest Leo the GreatWritings of Leo the GreatForms Versus Character'Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.'
