Heyer, an aged and well-known minister
of the LGth9tan Church, went as mis-

ceived, and the influence of those impress
sions in Strengthening him for what he had
done, if he had done aught for which his
fellow-countrymen saw proper to give
him praise. Aud that speaker was Major
General Robert Anderson, who stood to
his. post amid the thunder and flame, and
smoke, and shell which broke upon be-
leaguered Sumter, aud kept him true to
his country aud his oountry's flag.
Do good-do it now. Let all do good
and do it always. III makes no difference

When at Milwaukee some time ago, au aged
but warm hearted pastor said to me,
"Oome OUT want TO show yop something.
did go Out-somethiDg, sure enough
several barrels of something. What is
this2 Some friends said that at the hospi.
tai there was n need of vegetables. had
these barrels placed here and announced
in the school that whoever wished could
bring something for the hospital. Next
morning the scholars came-one with q
squash, another pumpkin, some with
bsets, some with potatoes, some with rolls
of sausage, dried beef, &c., &C., aud these
barrels are the consequence.
So with your mites, the pennies you give
for the Orphans Home. Oh New Years
day of this year, the Sunday School of
Rev. J. G. Goettmau, of Allegheny. had its
anniversary. Like some of the Schools
School had boxes for the orphans, which
were opened, aud how much do you SUP
pose they contained2 Over $500. IA short
time previous q letter brought me Sc to
$40 from several large congregations; their
contribution for the Orphan cause. It re-
called this incident. A boy met man
driving along the road with his. wagon
"Can ride with you, cir 2" "Get on" and
the boy took seat. He looked intently
down bS the side of the wagon; something
engaged his attention; his face frightened
aud his enthusiasm getting the better of
him, he clapped his hands add cried,
"Hurrah for the little WHEEL Hurtah for
the little wheel. Big wheel can't catch
little Wheel" ,a-
So with the children. We big folks can.
not catch you if you keep on at this rate.
We don't want to catcheup. Do you keep
ahead of us Be better men aud better
women than your fathers and mothers are.
Work for Jesus. All of yon work and
work always.
Then was sung, "sball We sing in
heaven" &C., and Rev. H. Louis BOUCHER,
of Norristown, Pa, spoke Of the oust5m at
the OEphans' Home, Germantown, by
which, early every morning, a hymn is
sung which rouses the children from their
sleep, and each one, as he awakes, Joins in
a hymn of praise to God. The birds, in
this same way greet the coming of the
morning light. The flowers open up their
buds to welcome the dawn. The light is
sweet and should be loved and welcomed
by all. The lion and the wolf and beasts
of prey and wicked men and bad boys
love the nightan darkness.
God is light. He loyeslight. The good
are the children of light. Let your hearts
be filed with Gods truth, and then your
life will be illumiuated-your light will
so shine that Others seeing your good
works will glority your Father who Is in
heaven.
Then was sung "Lst US walk in the
light" &c., and Rev. D. Carver said that
although the longest speaker, he would
make the shortest speech. Some time ago,
ont on the ocean, nothing but the vast
ocean around he noticed man go very
often to particular portion of the steamer.
With curiosity excited, he at length asked
the man what so often engaged his atten,,
ton, he said, ''That's what's takin' us 'ome
sir" Translating his English, it is, That
Is what Is taking US home, sir.
So children, we are out on the great
ocean of life and of time. The mariner has
his compass. So must you have. It is
the Bible. Consult it daily, closely, prayer-
July and then all is we'll. 1t will take
you home.
Say, brother, will you meet u.s." &C.,
now sounded from the great congregation
aud sfter the Benedictiou- by the Rev. ID.
| W. Fisher, the vast assembly dispersed.
