The Design of Anlictiun.

Many years ago Il pious aud devoted
olcrgymcn entered tue shop of pros
porous London bookseller, with whom
no was on terms of intimate Christian
friendship. lie inquired for his friend,
and when told he was ut home but par
ticuiar'y engaged, sent messenger to
him thas he wautcd III interview with
HIM, if hut for few minutes. This
ncssagc being delivered the Clergyman
was invited to walk up stairs into the
booksellers sitting room, and found HIM
sitting by his chiid's cot. The child
was dying, but viii affection strong in
death, it had claspcd its fathers hand,
and was holding it with conrulsvc
grasp. ...... ....
You arc father, or I should not
have allowed you to witness this scene,
said the afflicted parent.
THANK God, thank Cod exclaimed
the minister fcrycntly, as he instinct
lively comprchcndcd at a glance the
situation of his friend; thank God, he
has not forgotten you! L have been
much troubled on your account, my
dear sir; l have thought much about
You lately; ! have been much afraid
for you. Things have gone so well
with you for 50 long time, you have
been so prosperous, that I have been
almost afraid that God had forgotten
You. But said to myself, surely God
will not forget such man as this will
not suffer him to go so long in pros,
pcrity without some check, some re.
verse! And | see he has not. No,
God has not forgotten you"
These were the sentiments of Rich.

" Pray without Casing

How cdM VIC pray without ceasing {?
Is often asked. | remember reading q
beautiful answer to this question years
ago. At a minister's meeting, this text
was brought up for discussion, and at
length one Of their number was APP
pointed to write Oh it an essay for the
next monthly meeting.
\ servant girl who overheard this,
exclaimed involuntarily, GA whole
month wanted to tell the meaning of
that text! 1t is one of tho easiest and
best texts in the Bible"
Her remark being overheard, one of
the old ministers called to her, saying,
Well, tell NO how you understand it;
can you pray all the time p 90 yes,
sir" "What, when you have so much
TO do ?" "Why, sir, the more | have
To do, the more | can pray" "Woll,
my good girl, tell us how it is, for most
people do not think so"
Well, sir, when open my eyes in
tho morning, ] pray that the eyes of
my understanding may be opened; and
while am dressing, | pray that l may
bo clothed in the robe of Christ's RICH
tcousness and when | wash myself, /
pray that [ may have the washing Of
regeneration. AS | begin work, I pray
that [ may have strength equal to my
day. When [ kindlc the fro, l pray
that the fire Of divine love may warm
my heart. As | sweep, ask that my
heart may be clcanscd from all that is
impure; and while [ am getting and
eating breakfast, [ pray to be fed with
the bread Of heaven. Then as I look
to the children, | look up to my heay-
emily Father and pray that ! may be
his own child; and so on all day."
Enough" said the minister, ego
on and pray without ccasing." Surely
these things, though hid from tho wise
and prudent, are revealed unto babes.
The meek will He guide in judgment.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO Missions
Geographical discovery is completed.
No new world awaits the discovcrcr.
No new languages arc being coined,
but many arc going into disusc as tho
people minglc with each other. The
world is yet to be the mistress Of but
ono tongue. Educated people, by their
knowledge Of other languages, arc ra-
pidly promoting unity and sympathy
among men. There arc no undiscov-
cred nations who may rise and bear
away tho present marks Of civilization
from tho face of the globo--no nomad
hordos who shall overrun and root out
the great nations Of the earth. The
extremes of society arc meeting in an
extensive middle class where we find
the bone and sincw Of the land above
all this, God is planting his Gospel cv-
cry where, and rays Of blessed light arc
bringing healing to the nations. Soon,
tho stations will send forth auxiliary
stations. We can plainly SOC that the
tendencies of Gods providence arc to.
wards tho reign Of Christ.
The time will come when thousands
shall be offered to aid in this work. .---
Then shall nations be born to Christ in
n day, and speedily shall his blessed
roign be established upon tho earth. -
