Again,  our  Lord  has  taught  us  how  we  should  fast,  as
well  as  how  we  should  pray  and  give  alms.  He  bids  us,  in  all
alike,  seek,  not  the  praise  of  man,  but  of  God.  In  all  alike,
He  says,  of  those  who  do  it  for  man's  sake,  "  Verily,  I  say
unto  you,  they  have  their  reward."  In  all  alike,  He  promis-
eth,  that  if  done  for  no  by-ends,  but  only  and  purely  for
God,  "  thy  Father  Which  seeth  in  secret,  shall  reward  thee
openly."  All  then  alike  can  be  done  to  God  ;  all  alike  God
will  reward.  All  belong  to  us  as  sons  ;  all  are  to  be  done  by
us,  not  as  servants,  (as  under  the  law)  but  as  children  in  our
Father's  House,  out  of  love  to  our  Father.  All,  our  Father
beholdeth  Unseen  ;  He  considereth  us  as  we  are  doing  them  ;
He  remembereth  them  and  us,  if  we  do  them  for  Him  ;  all
are  laid  up  with  Him ;  for  all,  He  has  His  Reward  in  store
for  those  who,  in  them,  seek  Him.  How  can  man  then  put
P  S.  Luke  v.  35.
