1001. THE HIDDEN PART.

THE HIDDEN PART.

"Some people," says Sir T. Overbury, "are always boasting of their noble ancestry. They make a show and flourish, but like the potato, the best part of them is buried underground." This may be a poor compliment to such landed gentry, but it is a good feature in the Christian character. Some professing Christians are like the almost bankrupt draper who keeps his whole stock in the window, all they have is open to the public gaze. Others are like the potato, the best part of them is the hidden part, the closer you go to them the better and more valuable do they appear. They have the truth in the inward parts.
