GOD SEEN IN HIS WORKS.
Tale from the German.

In that beautiful part of Germany which
borders on the Rhine, there is a noble cas-
tie. which, as you travel on the western
banks of the river, you may see lifting its
ancient towers on the opposite side, above
the grove of trees about as old as Itself
About forty years ago, there lived in that
castle noble gentleman, whom we call
Baron -. The baron had only one
son, who was not only comfort to his
father, but-a blessing to all who lived on
his fathers land.
1t happened, on a certain occasion, that
this young man being from home, there
came French gentleman to see the bar
on. As soon as this gentleman came in
TO the castle, he began to talk of his Heav-
enly Father in terms that chilled the old
mans blood on which the baron reprov-
ed him. saying. Are you not afraid of Of
/ Tending God who reigns above, by speak
ing in such manner 2
The gentleman said that he knew no.
thing about God, for he had never seen
him.
The baron did not notice at this time
what the gentleman said but the next
morning took him about his castle and
ground, and took occasion first to show
him very beautiful picture that hung on
the wall.
The gentleman admired the picture We.
Z nv much and said, Whoever drew this
picture knows very well how to use his
, pencil
My son drew that picture, said the
baron.
Then your son is a very clever man,
, replied the gentleman.
Il The baron then went with his visitor
into the garden, and showed him man,
beautiful flowers and plantations of fores
+ trees.

of our gratitude and acknowledgements,

9 The WISE TOOK OIL IN THEIR VESSELS

|" HE WISE TOOK OIL IN THEIR VESSELS
WITH THEIR LAMPs."-Matt. XIV. 4.
It is worthy of remark, that the word
rendered lamps, in this parable, does not
mean what is thus conveyed to an ordinary
English reader, whose mind is fixed on
the instruments which give light in vari-
Gus circumstances; but that term properly
signifies torches. Ii, however, on this
declaration, difficulty should arise as to
the application OF oil to such means of
giving light, it may be renewed by refer
ring to custom in India. Es
When persons are about to travel by
night, through unfrequented places, in that
country, where it is very important to keep
up light, they do not trust themselves. as
in town or station, to lantern; but a
man is hired, who carries in his right hand
kind of torch, having a large head oil
tow, or some similar substance; and in
his left vessel out of which he keeps oc.
casionally pouring oil on the lighted tow.
Thus large fame is made, and one much
stronger than that of the wick of lamp.
The blaze brightness the whole path, and
is neither extinguished by the rain nor the
wind.
A remembrance of this fact will prevent
the misconception sometimes arising, that
oil should be taken in the lamp, which
consequently leads to a mis-quotatlon Of
the passage: on the contrary, we are to
initiate the wise, who took oil in their
vessels with their lamps" The foolish
virgins were content with thesupply which
the torch first received; they thought
only of a temporary effect they made nc
provision for circumstances which nigh
very naturally happen; whereas, theil
prudent companions exercised forethought
and took reserve of oil to feed the flame
of their torches, when their former stool
was exhausted.-S. S. Journal:
