THERE was an old clock we were acquainted with so eccentric in all its movements that it could seldom be depended upon. Its interim was in a strange condition, for, unless it was touched in a very peculiar way, any attempt to remedy its aberrations would only make it worse; indeed, our friend declared it was so testy an affair that his own temper was often lost in the vain endeavor to put it right. And so it often is with Christians — they often err, and point the wrong way, through being so touchy; and not only so, but they make others point the wrong way too, who catch their spirit for a time while trying to put them right. Perhaps the best way to deal with such persons is to pray for them, and to leave them to their aberrations and to leave them in higher hands to be corrected.
