Christ paints the Christian under the similiâ€" tude of a produent housekeeper, who, to provide against possible contingenâ€" cies, has storerooms and cellars where he gathers articles and implements of all descriptions, arranging and classâ€" ifying them. "Who bringeth forth out of his treasure things now and old."
