The Living Dead.

WE are surrounded by the living dead,
Men whose whole lives seem purposeles5 and
vain.
They're bubbles in the air, husks mid the grain,
Mere walking flesh piles, without heart or head
They're dead as those on whose old graves we
tread,
Long years companioned with the fesh-fat worm;
To show they're men, they've nothing but the
form;
They are OF worth their daily meat and bread
The marvels of creation move them not;
AS well preach God unto feshless skull
Surrounded by the grand and beautiful,
They're cold as icy stone or messy grot;
Their life's dream, fostering in the sun.
Snatched from this working earth, who'd miss
them? NOnei

Wise Treatment of a Fault.

one occasion under strong excitement,
drew his knife in the school-room and
threatened one Of the instructors. The
teacher came to me after school and said
that either the offender must leave or
he would. | sent for the boy to come
to my study. He was the son Of wild

said,
Edward, what have you been doing?'
He burst into tears and said, II have
been doing wrong"
l said, "Are you willing to 60 to your
teacher, and tell him you have done
wrong, and ask his forgiveness 2"
"Yes, sir" was the prompt reply.
"But," said I, you have placed your
self beyond the reach Of the ordinary
means Of discipline, and it will be ne
cessary for j on either to make an ac-
acknowledgement to your instructor as will
satisfy him, or be dismissed from the
school. Are you willing to make your
acknowledgment as public as the offense
was 2" III. al --.a

piled that he would, if | thought that
would be sufficient; to which | said, at

might be fully met, and a happy influence

The next morning Edward came to
my study, and l inquired how he felt
on the subject. He said, Il feel badly
aud am ready to do whatever you
wish"
"Then," said I, "when the school is
open rise in your place, and say to your
instructor, and to your schoolmates too
that you did wrong in your conduct and
language yesterday, and that you wish
thus publicly to make an acknowledg

Happy Use Of Scripture.

In the year 1926 powerful revi-
val of religion visited Williams Col
lege, in this State. DR.. Griffin was
then president, and his strong mind
and large heart were earnestly en-
gagged in forwarding the good work.
He lost no opportunity of private
conversation with the students, or Of
publicly enforcing the duties Of re-
ligion in the chapel and at meetings
for devotion. Very many of the con-
verts revered him through life as
their spiritual father, and became
energetic and useful Christians thro'
the influence Of his teaching and ex-
ample.
So powerful was the work in its
progress that it was hoped every stu
dent might become disciple of Je
sus. At one period it was ascertained
that only eighteen remained unaf-
fected, and the report was carried to
DIR. Griffin. He sent word back that
he would be present at the prayer
meeting to be held that evening.
The evening was very stormy, and
the roads SO deep with mud as to be
almost impossible, but he was there,
and it was believed every student was
there. The lecture room was crowd
ed, and he stood in the doorway
moment on entering, giving his hat
to one student, and his cloak and
lantern to another. AS he looked
on the earnest company before him,
his eyes filed with tears, his bosom.
heaEed, and in those tones of solemn
pathos for which he was so remarks
Bile, he exclaimed: "Or those eigh-
teen upon whom the tower Of Sloan
fell, think ye that they were sinners
above all men that dwelt in Jerusa-
lem ~ The effect was wonderful.
He himself was mastered by his
emotions, and for some minutes he
could not utter word. Every one
in the room, both Christian and I'M
converted, seemed to be in tears, and
the place was Bochim. No one
present ever forgot the OCCASION

Self.POSSeSSi0n In the Pulpit.

An English writer classes DR.. An
drews of London, with eccentric min
listers, remarking that, "IIe was SO per-
feetly free from conventionalism-so
wholly child-he did not know that
what he did and said was strange. 1t
lay upon his mind-what could he do
but utter it? After these remarks the
writer gives the following sample of his
eccentricity (which we regard as proof
of his elf-possession rather than of his
eccentricity. One Sabbath morning, his
sermon consisted of three heads. He
proceeded happily and beautifully with
the first two, but when he had finished
the second, he came to dead stand. He
could not recall the third to mind. At
ter moments pause, he spoke: 'Now
look, as | came up these pulpit stairs, |
had all the parts of this sermon well writ
ten on my mind; and now | can
not call to mind this third head. Or
ganist, strike up symphony, or dox-
ologv.-it will come! it will come pres
entity While the organ played he
leaned over the pulpit, and when its
tones ceased he resumed. Eyes, yes, ]
have it; how remarkable. Here he
dashed off into a dissertation upon the
laws of suggestion, un1er the operation
of which he had recovered the forgot
ten head. This done he resumed the
thread of his sermon, and gave them
| the third head, in his own inimitable
and impressive manner.
