[It is not for ) ourselves only that Christ has bestowed on you such blessings; but that you may be instruments in his hands to impart them to others. Have you the Holy Scrip- tures? Put them, if possible, into the hands of every child of man. Are you instructed in the knowledge of them ?

let every blessing that ye possess be regarded as a talent to be improved for the Lord, and to be accounted for to him at his judgment-seat.]
