ut; the little
tongue will not move to say a naughty thing. All the little members will
leave off serving Satan, and find something to do for God; for if you
"yield" them to God, He will really take them and use them.

He will tell the hands to pick up what a tired mamma has dropped, and to
fetch her a footstool; and the fingers to sew patiently at a warm
petticoat for a poor child, or to make warm cuffs for a poor old man. He
will tell the feet to run on errands of kindness and help. He will set the
lips to sing happy hymns, which will cheer and comfort somebody, even if
you never know of it. He will use the eyes for reading to some poor sick
or blind woman, or to some fretful little one in your own home. You will
be quite surprised to find in how many ways He will really use even your
little members, if you give them and your whole self to Him. It will be so
nice! You will never be miserable again with "nothing to do!"

"Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful' for Thee."

6. Sixth Day.

Willing and Glad.

"Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly."--I Chron.
xxix. 9

We thought yesterday morning about giving our members up to God for Him to
use. Did you think you would like to give them up to Him? _did_ you yield
them to Him? If you did, you will understand this morning's text! David
the King asked his people to help in bringing offerings for God's house
and service. He said, "Who then is willing to consecrate his service this
day unto the Lord?" And God made them all willing to bring what they
could. And what then? "_Then_ the people rejoiced, for that they offered
willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord."
"And did eat and drink on that day before the Lord with great gladness."

See what came of offering willingly to the Lord--they "rejoiced," and
everything they did, even eating and drinking, was "with great gladness."
Never is any one so happy as those who offer their own selves willingly to
the Lord. He gives them a thousandfold return for the worthless little
self and weak little members which they have offered to Him. He gives them
peace, and gladness, and blessing, beyond what they ever expected to have.

But this was not all; it was not only the people who had such a glad day,
but "David the king also rejoiced with great joy." Those who loved their
