PROFITABLE SAYINGS OF THE CHRISTIAN RECLUSES. CLXXIV. One of the Fathers said, * 'Young men in ''the beginning of their career take unto themselves "labours for the sake of vain glory, but afterwards "Divine grace secretly whispereth to them and per- "suadeth them to labour for Divine and not for human "glory/' CLXXV. Another father said, "When God (Glory "be to His Grace!) saw that the Fathers were exalted "in their minds, He used to send them to men who "wrought righteousness, even though they toiled little "in the ascetic life, in order that they might be abased "somewhat. Thus He sent Antony to a tailor, and Ma- "carius to two women, and Paphnutius to a thief and "a singer, and He sent two solitaries to a shepherd." CLXXVI.

The aged man made answer to him, "Go, "eat, drink, and labour not, only do not depart from "thy cell," for he knew that persistent dwelling in the "cell would cut off all [his] thoughts'. "palace he prayed to God, saying, 'O Lord, direct me how to "live.* And a voice came to him which said, 'Arsenius, flee from "men and thou shalt live.'" And again, when he was living in the monastery, he prayed to God the [same] words, and again he heard a voice saying to him, 'Ârsenius, flee, keep silence, and lead a "life of contemplation, for these are the roots which prevent a man "from sinning." .^J^JlSiSD r^tocn ,0DO^f\^ K'iao.ia K'ocn >cna^r
