"Behold / Stand at The Door,"

Christ comes to the soul-houSe, and
stands there and knocks. On getting no
answer he goes away only to come and
knock again. He waits at the door, and
listens tor voice within, and goes away
He knocks not at one door, but goes
around to every door, and waits for an
answer AS one who returns to his dwell
ling in the night after journey, and find
ing it locked, knocks at the accustomed
door Or entrance in the front, ard getting
no answer, then goes to the door in the
rear, then to the side door-if there be
one-and then to every other door, in
order if possible.to get into the house,
so Christ, who longs to enter into the
soul goes to every door in succession,
and knocks, and listens for an invitation
to come in and leaves not one chamber
in the soul-house unsought, or one door
untried! He knocks at the door Of Rea-
son, at the door of Fear, at the door of
Hope, at the door of Imagination and
Taste, of Bencvolence and Love, of Con-
science, of Memory and Gratitude. He
does not neglccta single one.
Beginning at The upper and the nobest
where lie ought to come i'll as King OF
Glory, through gates of triumph. He
comes round and down to the last and
lowest, and retreats wistfully and reluc
tantly, returning often-morning, noon,
and extraordinarily seeking entrance
with marvellous patience, accepting no re-
fusal and repulsed by no difference to his
presence or no neglect of message!
If he be admitted. JOY unspeakable is
in the house and shall be heneeforth. The
dreary dwelling is filed with light from
the brihtness of his courtenance, and
every chamber is perfumed from the fra
GRANGE of his garments. Peace and hope,
love and joy, abide together in the house
for Christ himself takes up his abode
therein. But if, after his long knocking
at the door, and patient waiting for. en-
trance, his soliciting be refused or neg
lected, by-and-by there shall come time
when you who have denied him, shall be
denied of him. For when you shall
knock at the gate of heaven for admit
tance into the mansions, which he has
prepared from the foundation of the world
he will say unto you, as you said'unto
him, Depart! But that dreadful day has
not yet come, and he still stands at the
door-his locks wet with the dews of the
morning-and waits to be invited into
the chamber of your soul. Hear his
voice once more,. and yield to his gentle
persuasion, "Behold | stand at the door
and knock; if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, | will come into him,
and will sup with him, and he with me-"

Fanny Ferns Sunday.

Sunday morning again. How many
pleasant breakfasts it looks down upon.
No need to hurry away to Office, or store,
or counting room. Fathers come leisure
ly down in dressing gown and slippers,
and sip their coffee without danger of
choking. They have time to look round
and see how all the children are growing,
and that nothing in this world is SO beau
tiful as rosy baby fresh from slumber.
Mother, too, has the girlish smile that
comes not often on weekday, and that,
perhaps, after all, is the reason that it
comes so seldom. 1t is pleasant after
eggs and coffee, TO sit comfortably by the
fire. the centre of a ring of happy faces,
and hear the church bells chime. Time

Business a Means of Grace.

We often hear Christians complain Of
their leanness and emptiness, and attribute
it all TO their business. IF they are cor
rect in the case Of their want Of religious
enjoyment, then either they are engaged
i'll wrong business, OF. they arc pursuing
it in wrong manner. No lawful busi-
uess-and Christian can not engage in
any othcr-pursued in proper manner,
will injure the religious enjoyments of
the child of God. He that has the love
of God in his heart, and does his whole
duty each day toward God and man, will
never find occasion to charge the blame
of his eanness to his business. The true
Christian, who does all that lie does to
the glory of God, is never more happy
than when full of business. Let him con.
meet his business with God; let him
work for God every day in the week, and
consecrate all his income to the further
ance of his cause in the earth, and he will
find that his business, instead of being a
hindrancc, will be help-a real means
of grace to him. Instead of letting his
business swallow up his-religion, his reli-
gion will swallow up his business. To
all the dear brethren who are crippled in
their religious enjoyments by their daily
callings, | would recommend the course
pursued by Normand Smith:
"When reused to more entire con-
secration to God, falling in with the com.
mon notion that life of secular business
is incompatible with life of eminent
usefulness and piety, he seriously pur-
posed to ab9ndon it. But more Scriptu-
raj views led him to continue in business
consecrating it to God. He put on re-
cord the purpose to engage in my busi-
ness that may serve God, in it, and the
of getting to give" From
that timezit was observable by all who
knew him, that he made rapid progress
in religion. There was fervor and en-
gagedness Of spirit, q purity and eleva-
tion of aim, that could not be misunder-
stood or concealed. He rose towards
heaven like the lark Of the morning.
From that tine he found no tendency in
his worldly engagements to chill his piety,
or to enchain his affections to the earth.
His business became to him means of
grace, and helped him forward in the di--
vine life, just as truly as reading the
Scriptures and prayer. Unity Maga-
zine.

IS oThee hInst try ThY Religion.

Several years ago, as was making
Journey froim New England to the interior
of the State of New York, an incident
occurred which, for more than score OF
years, has had an influence upon my
character.
! had arrived at the city of Schenecta-
dy aud,there being no railroad then be.
tween that city and Utica, took passage
in a,packet boat on the Erie canal. 1t
was''at evening, that we left one city for
the other; the passengers were few, most
ly men, and all apparently strangers to
each other. The night passed quietly
away; the morning found us with invig-
GRATED bodies and refreshed spirits, and
after breakfast conversation was intro
duced, and various topics were discussed
with much freedom and familiarity. At
length, as the hours wore away. one of
our number, who evidently was of Scot
tish origin, said something which evidenced
that he was firm believer in christianity
and practical christian. This called
forth reply from another of our number,
who was iGan we'll dressed, somewhat
refined in his manners, and apparently
about fifty years of age. He, gently at
first, objected to the position taken by
the Scotchman, which led to reply. .un-
til, at length he avowed himself to beA
disbeliever in christianity, and in the vol
ume of revelation. For All hour or more
our company SGT around and listened to
these champions of truth and error. 1t
was soon. evident, that the Scotchman,
not only had the better side, but was the
more skillful in reasoning and the more
logical in arguments CAT length his oppo-
nent feeling that he could not maintain
his ground laid argument aside and re-
sorted to sneer and ridicule. Such Ian
guage OF abuse against believers in reve.
ialion, such daring blaspheiny against
Christ, ana the author Of the Bible had
never heard before. The whole company
We're shocked, and no one attempted to
reply. Soon they were fund in different
parts Of the boat, ci'rlversing, two and
two, upon different topics, looking wifi
disgust and pity upon him, who had lost
his temper and rallied with such bitterness
and blasphemy against the Son Of God
For q while he sat alone, evidently un
easy and ashamed Then he arose anc
approached venerable looking man
whose dress indicated that he belonged
to the Society of Friends. or Quakers, a:
they are sometimes called, and who ha(
listened attcntively, but taken no part II
the discussion. Said the iniilel, "Wel
Friend, what does thee think Of these
thinss9" lie very calmly, but teeingly
replied, 81 think tie time 'giH soon com'
,chen Mee must try My religion, and !
must try mine" Never was an answer
more timely, and the infdel turned away
: disappointed, but with countenance in
dicative of serious thoughts.
1t was profitable lesson to me, ant
always since that time, when have me
with the advocates of error. whom NJ
argument could affect, have thought 0
the reply of that venerable Fricnd-1Ae
mast try thy religion, and / must frs
