WHERE GOD SENDS.

A great fortune, or a large parish, or a multitude of hearers, may be anything but a blessing if we have chosen it. If God sends us one, and we can get thousands of dollars or of hearers, the one is better and grander than the thousand, as God sees it. When Philip was doing a great work in Samaria, where a revival was in progress, the Lord told him to quit the larger field for a smaller one, and go into a desert region. He obeyed the order, and his new parish had only one colored man in it, yet that new convert opened a new continent to the Gospel. An evil of evils is the thinking that we know more than God knows as to where is the best place for us. A blessing of blessings is the conviction that it is better to be where God wants us, whether the field be a large or a small one.—Sunday School Times.
