ZEAL
Dr. Bonar tells of a dream he once had.
In his dream the angels weighed his zeal,
and he was delighted with the result. It
reached the maximum and turned the scale
at a hundred. Then they analyzed it, and
his delight vanished. For (out of the hundred)
fourteen parts were pure selfishness,
fifteen parts sectarianism, twenty-two parts
ambition, twenty-three parts love for man,
and twenty-six parts love to God. He awoke
from his dream sobered and saddened, but
resolved on a new consecration.
How much religious zeal (if analyzed)
would prove even more corrupt!
