"'Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.'"
"But, Mr. Murray!"——
"Yes, that is just it exactly!" said Meredith, delighted.
"How can one forsake all he has? Be a beggar?"
"Not at all. Give it all to Christ, and be His steward."
"Not to please yourself in anything!" cried Flora.
"I did not say so. And the Bible does not mean so. For another Bible mark of a Christian is, in the Lord's words—
"'My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me.'"
"But can't one do anything that one wants to do?" cried Flora in dismay.
"Many things. But a Christian has no pleasure in what does not please God."
