Show TrlTlaUtira. It is not alwayB easy in nny sphert to discriminate between the trifling and the momentous, ft is often a matter of com parison, and judgment and experience are needed in the selection. Trifles are not to be confounded with details, which are often most important Neither are things necessarily trifling because they are small. A kind look, a gentle warning, warn-ing, a cordial greeting, a Blight service are sometimes despised as trifles, when in truth they are signs of a generous and kindly nature, and carry untold blessings to their recipients. Many little things are far more important im-portant than what we misscall great ones; they may indeed be the true realities, reali-ties, while the others may be insignificant insignifi-cant If each one will faithfully examine tbe meanings and purposes of the various spheres in which he moves, and endeavor conscientiously to make them first in hia heart and life, the trifles will sink into , their proper and subordinate place. i New York Ledger. |
