They made me keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Song of Solomon 1:6.

Our attention is here drawn to a danger which is preeminently one of this day: the intense activity of our times may lead to zeal in service to the neglect of personal communion; but such neglect will not only lessen the value of the service, but tend to incapacitate us for the highest service.
