lilies, that the power of Christ NAV rest

the power OF his might" was st. Paul
but his strength was the strength Of
faith.-Bishop AeilraHe.
BEAUTIFUL AND TRuR,-In an article
In Frazer's Magazine this brief but beau.
tifnl extract occurs: EDUCATION does
not commence with the alphabet. 1t
begins with mothers look-with a
fathers smile OF appreciation or sign Of
reproof-with a sisters gentle pressure
OF the hand, or a brothers noble act Of
iorbearance-with birds nest admired
and not touched-with creeping ants
and almost impossible emmets-with
humming bees and great bee.hives-
with pleasant walks and shady lanes,
and with thoughts directed In sweet and
kindly tones and words TO mature TO acts
OF beneVolence, to deeds OF virtue, and TO
the source OF all good-to God himself"
-Right.thinking is uuquestiouably the
road to right.living, Comprebensively
viewed, men are as their beliefs are.
With many exceptions and Limitations,
the general truth is to be excepted,
Nevertheless, right thinking is funda,
mental. 1t is as valuable as truth and
anything that inyalidates the correct.
ness of belief, directly or indirectly, in.
validates the truth itself, which is the
foundation of human affairs, and Is the
very path along which men are to walk,
Not that l think right.living and right
thinking are poor things, but they show
that the church has not yet got up to
the highest things in Christ's life. The
ideal Of life is having the thought right,
living right, being right, al love the
world though 1t is my enemy" unto
! suffering and death, the power of right
thinking and right-living disclosing
| itself in a nobler life.

Holy DAYs-In an item under this
head, yesterday, we uuwittingly made
the statement that All Saints and Souls
Days, were observed as holy days in
most of the Episcopal and Catholic
churches throughout the world. A cor
respondent correct our error in the fol-
lowing communication
Editors Rutland Herald Il noticed a
statement in your issue of yesterday
which is liable to be misunderstood
/ am sure you will be willing to correct
or at least to modify it. 1t is there said
that All Souls Day is observed in most
of the Catholic and Episcopal churches
throughout the world. AS the writer
does not mention the exceptions, I would
beg leave to state that there is no SER
vice for that day in the book of Common
Prayer, and that it cannot be observed

observance of the day Is founded.
AN EPIsCoPALIAN,
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1867-11-07


What blessing it Is when the liv
ing water makes spring within the
Christian What curse to be one o.
the stagnant ponds Of formality exhal
ing the putridity of hypocrisy.
| DO you say,"I would be Christian
If l felt that I was worthy" How is
| it with Christ Is he not worthy? Il
| you depended upon your own strength
alone, you might fear and draw back
but when the treasures Of eternity are
| yours, and when Christ has said to eyery
one Of you, as he would say if he were
here now, "Trust me just as long, my
children, as live, do not be afraid, for
you shall live also l pledge my life for
yours"-can you not take him at his
word, and be content?
GREAT SCHOLARS NOT ALWAYS THE BEST
TEAcHERs.-"I am quite ful, I assure
you" said a huge water bottle with a
very narrow neck, that was suspended
over the flower-bed. "Fun or empty. it
makes nc difference to as, said the fiow-
ers, "ior We get nothing out of you.
Yonder shallow can, though it holds but
little Is worth dozen of you, for what
1t has it pours out, and We have the ben
eft of it. You are welcome to the credit
Of haUing but we prefer those who un-
derstand how to give"
CONFORMITY WITH CHR1iT.-The chief
| study of Christian and the very thing
that makes him to be a Christian, is con.
formity with Christ. The sum of relig.
ion (says Pythagoras) is 10 be like him
thou worshippest. And that truly is
our only way there is nothing but
wandering and perishing in all other
ways, nothing but darkness and misery
out OF him; "but he that solloweth me-"
says he, Shall not walk in darkness. ;"
And therefore it is set before US in the
gospel In so clear and lively colors that
we may make this our whole endeavor
to be like him.-Leghtn,

from the Treasury Department are also
altogether about 80. They go out from

result favorably to the Radicals, to urge
the President to accept the logic of

gressional policy of reconstruction assist
them in obtaining the desired conces-
sions from Congress.

Hooked at Johns old garments worn,
thought OF all that John had borne
OF poverty and work and care,
Which |, though willing, could not share;
] thought of seven mouths TO feed,
OF seven little childreus need,
And then of this.
"Come, John" saidl,
"Well choose among them as they lie
Asleep so walking hand in hand,
Dear John and i surveyed our band.
First to the cradle lightly stepped,
Where Lillian, the baby, slept.
Her damp curls lay light gold alight,
A glory 'gainst the pillow white,
Softly her father stopped TO lay
His rough hand down in loving way,
When dream or whisper made her stil
And huskiy John said, Not her-nother.
We stepped beside the trundle-bed,
And one long ray of lamp,light shed
Athwart the boylsh faces there,
In sleep so pitiful and fair.

A tear undried. Ere John could speal,
Hes but q baby, too, said |,
And kissed him as we hurried by.
Pale, patient Robbie's angel face
Still in his sleep bore suifering's trace

We whispered, while our eyes were din.
Poor Dick bad Dick our hayward son,
Turbulent, reckless, idle one
Could he he spared! NAY, He who give
Bids US befriend him to his grave;
Only mothers heart can he
Patient enough for such as he;
And so, said John, 81 would not dar9
To send him from her bedside prayer
Then stole we softly up above
And knelt by Mary, child Of love.
"Perhaps for her 'twOuld better be"
said to John. Quite silently
He lifted up curl that lay
Across her cheek In wilful way.
And shook his head. NAY, love, not thee,
The while my heart beat audibly.
Only one more, our Oldest lad,
Trusty and truthful, good and glad.
So like his father. mo, John, no
cannot, will not, let him 60"
And so he wrote, courteous way,
We could not give one child away;
And alterward toll lighter set med,
Thinking of that of which we dreamed,
Happy in truth that not one face
We missed from its accustomed place;
Thankful to work for all the seven,
Trusting the rest to One in Heaven.
