Helen Keller, the blind deaf-mute, said in her address at the St. Louis World's Fair that she was there "not for anything I have done, but for what has been done for me." She was the living monument of the kindness and patience and skill of her teachers. So is the great and Christ-like Christian remarkable, not for aught he does or did, but for what God did for him. He glories in the Lord. (1 Cor. 1:30, 31.) If he draws the attention of men, he replies: "By the grace of God I am what I am. [190] Go to God, and he will be gracious to thee likewise." If he bears good fruit, he knows it is due to the Vine. The grace of God through faith has made all boast impossible. Well may the marble statue glory in the master hand that fashioned it; and men know that to admire the statue is but to admire the artist who conceived and made it. But we are God's workmanship, created again in Christ Jesus.
