I never meant to be frivolous with God. I never meant to snap my fingers at the love, and tenderness, and passionate invitations of the Saviour.
But I made a jest of the sanctities of home. And I played fast and loose with love and duty.
And I had a sneer for every noble character, and an explanation of my own for every noble deed.
Till now I find too plainly, yes, too plainly, that in making light of earnestness wheresoever found, of enthusiasm in whatsoever cause, and of unselfishness in any humble soul, I have been making light of God who gave the gifts, and of Christ who is calling me to feast with Him.
