To live in poise, and beauty, and harmony is the finest of all the fine arts. It is, in itself, the occupation of life. "I am primarily engaged to myself," said Emerson, "to be a public servant of the gods; to demonstrate to all men that there is good will and intelligence at the heart of things, and ever higher and yet higher leadings. These are my engagements.
This rebellion takes on the form of refusing or objecting to some of the Lord's ways with us. For instance, we may feel a call to special service to the ministry, or to the missionary service, or to personal work and we may have mapped out an entirely different life for ourselves and ate to submit to God's leadings. Surrender of the will is a part of the consecration.
There is, in short, no ROOM for any grade or sort of truth outside of the framework of the pragmatic system, outside of that jungle of empirical workings and leadings, and their nearer or ulterior terminations, of which I seem to have written so unskilfully.
Surely in this matter we have acted according to the leadings of Providence and the spirit and instructions of the Gospel of Christ; for in Christ Jesus there is no distinction of nationalities. Our labors having thus far been so intermingled and our churches so intimately related and united together, we can see no sufficient reason for separation.
So, after Aunt Effie and Big Sister, both willing workers, left, the new bride found unforeseen difficulties in following the Lord's leadings, which seemed to call to real back-and-muscle taxing effort for other people such was for the world of Marthas. So things in the Yarnell household got in a mess. It seemed hard for Irene to recover.

Only let them recognize the principle and the details shall be left to themselves, under the leadings of God's gracious providence." The report of the Committee on Foreign Missions, E. S. Porter, D.D., chairman, was adopted.
So true is Dr. Johnson's remark, that "men are seldom more innocently employed than when they are making money." The skilful combinations of civil government, though they usually follow natural leadings, as the lines of race, language, religion, and territory, yet require wisdom and conduct in the rulers, and in their result delight the imagination.
At last a friend suggested that, perhaps, the dog knew something of the whereabouts of the things, and advised the merchant to follow its leadings. The merchant consented, and went after the dog right up to the very place where the thieves had hidden the goods. Here the animal scraped and barked, and showed in various ways that the things were underneath.
Sustained by the joy and peace of believing, she was enabled to follow in faith the leadings of the Holy Spirit, and, through divine strength, to become as a whole burnt sacrifice on the altar of that gracious Redeemer, who had, in his rich mercy, plucked her from the pit of destruction.
"MacDonald has beautifully said, 'Oneness with the mighty All is the one end of life God or chaos is the only alternative. We say God works through man to will and to do, and implicitly trust the divine Intelligence that guides every waiting child. "We choose the Good and reverently await our leadings.
