HosPITALIFY.-I have a higher rev.
erence for the virtues of hospitality
than we seem u set upon it at present.
When a Turk regales Christian with
ham (as it happened at Athens last
er)--when priest in Lent roasts
his turkey for you-when aa advo-
cate of the Main Law gives his German
friend glass of wine-when some
of my anti-tobacco friends allow me
to smoke a cigar in the back parlor
with the windows open-there is a
sacrifice Of self on the altar of common
humanity. True hospitality involves a
consideration for each others habits
nor our ercesses, mind You, but our
usual habits of life--even when they
differ on such serious grounds as
have mentioned. But have dined
with vegetarians who said, Meat is
unwholesome, SO my conscience will
not let me give it to you = or with
the yentilators, who proclaim that
fires in bedrooms are injurious -
and | was starved and frozen.--Bayard
Taylor.

Are We Saved by Faith Alone


"And now abideth faith, hope, chart
~, these three; but the greatest OF these
is charity.''-I Cor. xiii, 10. If we
are saved by faith alone in what sense
is charity the greatest! Or was Paul
mistaken?
"Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the king
dom of heaven; bit he that doeth the
will of nay Father which is in heaven
Matt. vi, 81. Is not something
nero than faith required here s.? They
that crieth Lord, Lord, surely must
have species of faith or else they
would not call on him, yet the Lord
himself says unless they do the will of
the Father they cannot be saved.
"And, behold, one came and said
unto him, Good Master, what good
thing shall | do, that may have eter-
nal life? And he said unto him, Why
calIest thou me good there is none
good but one, that is God but if thou
will enter into life, KEEP THE COMMAND
MENrs. Matt. xix, Is, II. Here it
seems that the first requisite to saliva
ton is to keep the commandments.
This is something more than faith.
sand they Paul and Silas said, Be-
lieye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and then
thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
And they spoke unto him the word of
the Lord, and to all that were in his
house."-Acts xvi, 81, 80. To believe
on the Lord. is to believe what he
teaches. Immediately after they told
them to believe on the Lord. they also
told them the word of the Lord in Or
der that they could believe. Some Of
the word Of the Lord is given above,
among which is, keep the command
ments. If one says he believes all the
Lord teaches, and expects thereby to
be saved, yet does not keep the CON-
mandments, although he knows the
Lord says, in order to enter into life ye
must deep the commandments, he is
involved in an inextricable difficulty,
which involves falsehood. For he
either believes not, or does not expect
to be saved unless he sets about keeping
the commandments.
"Eyen so faith, if it hath not works
is dead being ALONE. Yea MAJ
may say, Thou hast faith, and | have
works: show me thy faith without til,
works, and l will show thee my faitl
by my works. Thou belieyest tina
there is one God thou doest well: til,
devils also believe and tremble. Blu
wilt thou know o vain man, that fait.
without works is dead ?"--James ii, /
90 Here it is taught plainly thu
We are not saved by faith alone.

Can a man, supremely selfish, get to
Heaven Would he not change
Heaven into hell to all about him !?
A selfish man renders all about him
unhappy, except when he is playing the
courtier to those as selfish as himself
Who can enjoy the hospitality of a
man who is exacting tribute Of all about
him? His wife and children ever on
the pad to administer to his wishes
and caprices, servants running to and
fro with fear depicted in every FEATURE
doing nothing or sethan nothing
and thousond petty tyrannies, prac-
ticed upon the good nature of all who
are willing to serve, and upon the fears
OF those under his CONTROL.
These are some of the delights of the
selfish man. We ask again what
hope can such man have of obtain
ing Heaven We have known many,
very many Of high standing in the
Church, who will fill the above dis
cr'ption. 1t may be asked how they
keep their standing? In many WAYS.
They are generally richer than the rest
OF the community, and the rich can do
what would excommunicate a poor
man. Some are sable in prayer" that
is, good getters up Of excitements. But
principally they talk much of faith and
abuse sin with a furious zeal, not know
ing that they are the greatest of sin
ners, with not an ounce of true faith,
The Golden Rule, "do unto others as
YOU would have them do to YOU" is
stricken from their Bible, but instead
there of is written, "my comfort before
everything else"

A BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-Genins Is
debased, in youth, by the spiritual de-
pravity of that which is specifically
excellent. The association of mora moral
depravity with Beauty and Culture is
more to be dreaded, in its effects on

the, alliance of impurity with visible
squallor and degradation. The vailed
vice, that perfumes its locks with odors,

A mother mourning at the first-born's
