God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The more excellent something is the more likely it will be imitated. There are many false diamonds and rubies, but who goes about making counterfeit pebbles? However, the more excellent things are the more difficult it is to imitate them in their essential character and intrinsic virtues. Yet the more variable the imitations be, the more skill and subtlety will be used in making them an exact imitation. So it is with Christian virtues and graces. The devil and men's own deceitful hearts tend to imitate those things that have the highest value. So no graces are more counterfeited than love and humility. For these are the virtues where the beauty of a true Christian is seen most clearly.

The tangy tingling sensation it causes after being splashed on is one way
to describe an after shave. Most after shaves act as astringents; they help
firm skin tone and close skin pores when applied immediately after shaving.
Many after shaves contain alcohol, which possesses antibacterial abilities,
helping to prevent infections of nicks or shaving cuts. It also should
contain glycerine and/or other ingredients known to be beneficial to skin
care. Glycerine will help counter the drying effects on the skin, and the
chafing and irritation that can develop with dry skin. *Most drug stores
contain all of the above tinctures and oils. Herb and health food shops
carry the essential oils.
