"What Duty do the Elders owe the
Past0r?"

They owe him hearty cooperation in
all his labors for the good. of his people.
Whatever is enjoined upon him as elder,
is also enjoined upon the ruling elders,
except "to labor in the word and doc
trine. When wdeknow his duty, We
know our own. The elders are the pas
tors lieutenants. His time being much
occupied with writing and studying, he
cannot know men as does the man of bu-
siness. The elders should supply him
with this knowledge; they should become
acquainted with every man, woman, and
child of the parish, and should impart
this knowledge to the pastor. They
should moreover not limit their prayers
for him to the prayer meeting, but in the
family and closet should bear him in-love
before the throne of grace. In conversa-
ton with others they should never make,
nor listen to sighting remarks about
him. In brief, the elders should lOve
their pastor, and take pains to cypress to
him this attachment. 1t is the duty of
the trustees of the church to provide for
him comfortable support; if this is neg
lected the elders should feel it their duty
to see it done.

the Church of Christ for every new
conner to kneelin these private, personal,
preparatory devotions, and the posture is
taken, no matter what else may be going
on at the same time. Now | have no
quarrel with those who follow this GUS
tom. 1t is not commended by our
church, however, and it seems to SAVIOR of
the snare into which the Pharisees fell
when they obtruded their prarate devo-
tions upon the public eye, whether in the
Synagogue or at the corners of the
streets. The injunctions of our Lord on
the subject of secret prayer do seem to
warrant US in rigidly observing the dis
tinction between private and public, per-
sonal and social devotions.
But if these preparatory devotions are
not allowed to be a matter of ostenta-
tious, and self-righteous parade, there is
no excuse for their neglect altogether,
which so often happens. The man who
enters church with desire to worship
God, can have but little relish for light
conversation up to the very moment of
beginning service. 1t requires no small
effort to escape the "sacrifce of fools.
And disorder or levity in the congrega-
ton waiting for service to begin, argues
a great want of reverence on the part of
those who engage in it, and prevents
many pious heart from the composure
and serenity which he so much desires to
cultivate in the house of God. Indeed
there as demeanor appropriate to the
house of God. 1t may not be so easy to
destribe it, so as to commend it most for
chilly; but as in matters of taste and
good breeding, there is an instructive per-
ception of that which is beftting when
the circumstances and relations are fully
understood, so the conscience intuitively
discovers and approves the demeanor pro-
per to Gods house, when the nature of
the place, the object of coming together,
and the reality of the Divine presence
are well understood. These points 1
shall try to unfold in my next.

Trust in Jesus.

A doctor, who was once visiting a
Christian patient, had himself been anx-
ious to feel that he was at peace with
God-the Spirit of God had convinced
him of his sin and need, and he longed
to possess "that peace which the world
cannot give" On this occasion. address
ing himself to the sick one, he said: Il
want you just to tell me what it is, this
believing and getting happiness-faith in
Jesus, and all that sort of thing that
brings peace?" His patient replied:
"Doctor, | have felt that l could do moth
ing, and l have put my case in your hand
Il am trusting IN you. This is exactly
what every poor sinner must do in the
Lord Jesus" This reply greatly awakened
the doctors surprise, and new light
broke in upon his soul. SIS that all :"
he exclaimed, "simply trusting in the
Lord Jesus" | see it as never did be-
fore. He has done the work Yes,
Jesus said on the cross, " 1t is fnished;"
and "whosoever believeth in him shall
not perish, but have everlasting Lite
From that sick bed the doctor went
happy man-rejoicing that his sins were
washed away in the blood of the Lamb.

great. Even when the main principles of
action are generous and pure, it helps
wonderfully to know that the world is
looking on and that our achievements
are not unnoticed. But the pious moth
er has no such extraneous aids IN her
her work. She is unknown to the world
and stranger to its applause. She can
look forward to no bright need of praise
which is to crown her patient, self-deny-
inc efforts. Her work must be done, If
done at all, her battle fought, away from
the public eye, in the seclusion of home,
amid few sympathizing hearts. In
deed, for the most part it is matter with
herself and God; for even the father
cannot enter fully into her feelings and
experiences. If we may be allowed to
interpret the secret thoughts of her heart,
they must be like this: "These children
are given me of God. 1t is a precious
charge He has committed to my keeping.
As they derive their being from me, so
Cod has made sheir well being in life and
beyond to depend upon me-my faithful
endeavors and prayers. Their destiny is
placed in my hands. I have high and
holy mission to fulfll-a work to do that
demands and deserves all my energies,
and solemn account to render at last
to God. Shall l see these dear ones
perish through my unfaithfulness? God
forbid"
Thus we may surmise, she reasons in
her heart and magnifes her office. Faith
in God and a sense of duty and respon-
sibility, coupled with mothers yearning
affection for her offspring-these are the
principles which actuate her, the hidden
springs of her conduct. They beget pa
thence, fortitude, self-abnegation, single
ness and fxedness of purpose, earnest
watchings and strivings, and in short
life of the purest and loftiest type of he
roism ever seen upon earth. Sometimes
she cheers herself with the thought that
her children will one day be support
and comfort to her; and at times as
she watches over her boy, she fondly pic
lures his future career of usefulness and
honor; but these are only pleasing reAec-
tions by the way, and often give place to
the anxious and fearful antieipations of
sadder hours. 1t is seldom that the faith
full mother thinks of herself; her hopes,
wishes and prayers are all for her trea-
sures, and the chief concern is that God
will enable her to do her duty to them.
True, every Christian mother has her in
frmities, her times of weakness and fall
tering, and she is often tempted to slack
en- her efforts or give oves: and some
there are who are most u ithful and
needless of their duty; but With all their
frailties and shortcomings, how much
cause have we to honor our piOus mothers,
and to bless God for them Meek, lov-
ing and devoted, their lives are beautiful
and Christ-hke, and their children rise
up and call them blessed.

Why Men Rather Than Angels.

We have somewhere read of traveller
who stood one day beside the cages of
some birds that, exposed for sale, ruffled
their sunny plumage on the wires, and
struggled to be free. A way-worn and
sun-browned man, like one returned from
foreign lands, looked wistfully and sadly
on these captives till tears started In his
eyes, and turning round on their owner,
he asked the price of one, paid it in
strange gold, and opened the door and
set the prisoner free; and thus he did
with captive after captive, till every
bird was away, soaring to the skies
and singing on the wings of liberty.
The crowd stared and stood amazed; they
thought him mad, till to the question of
their curiosity, he replied, 81 was once
myself captive; 1 know the sweets of
liberty" And so they who have expe-
rience of guilt, have felt the serpent's
bite, the burning poison seir veins,
who, on the one hanS hal ing of
conscience, and on the 0 - e1ee of
faith, the joys of hope, the love, the
light, the liberty, the life, that are
found in Jesus-they, not excepting
heavens highest angels, are the fttest
to preach Saviour, to plead with
man for God, or plead with God for man.
Each Sabbath morning the gates of
heaven might have been opened, and,
sent by God on mission worthy of
seraphic fire, an angel might have lighted
down upon this sanctuary, and, flying
into the pulpit, when he had folded his
wings and used them to veil his glory, ne
might have taken up the wondrous theme
of salvation and the cross. No angel
would leave heaven to be king and fill
a throne; but | believe were it Gods will,
there is no angel there but would hold
himself honored to be preacher and fill
a pulpit. Another and very different
messenger appearS-a frail, dying, sinful
man-one who is bone of your bone, and
flesh of your flesh; and if his humanity
made Jesus the better Saviour, it makes
his servants the better ambassadors, that
they also are touched with their peoples
infrmities, and are made in all points
like as they are, especially in this point,
that we cannot add, "yet without sin" !"

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
The Christian Mother.

Is there an object upon this earth so
full of touching interest, as the Christian
mother striving to train up her children
Alright? Many of us can recall, indeed
hnw should we forget, those meek and
loving faces that watched over us In our
tender years, and were as Gods angels
to US. We can remember their sad looks,
full of gentle rebuke when We did wrong,
and their looks also of joyful approval
when we acted nobly and truthfully.-
Such memories as these cling to us
through life, and exert their silent intiu-
ence upon us long after our mothers have
rested from their labors. How many a
poor wanderer in the paths of sin, as he
thinks of his mothers tears and prayers,
wonders in his heart, if it can be, that
God will indeed cast him off forever
One serious reflection leads to another,
and those prayers are at length answer
ed. Some, alas! presume too far even
upon a mothers prayers.
Many heroic deeds have been done by
men, and are worthily recorded in the
worlds annals; but the heroism of moth
ers lives-where is the memorial of it =?
In heaven alone. Yes, doubtless it lives
and breathes ON earth in many noble
lives and deeds, yet for the most part un-
recognized and unhonored. There is Lu-
ther in the Diet of Worms; but do we
think of Luther's mother-Of her pa
tient watchings and strivings, prayers
and self-denials? Which seems more ad-
mirable-the sturdy and strong nature
braying earth and hell under the world s
gaze, or the weak and gentle nature, in
secret denying and subjecting itself, en-
during all things, out of weakness be-
coming strong, wrestling and striving, for
love and for duty? They say that Lu-
ther had a woman's heart because he
loved music, flowers, and children; but
we know that these things consist with
strength, and Luther's words and acts
best bespeak the man.
Pride, ambition and other selfish prin-
ciples have very much to do with what
the world applauds as iLustriOus and

A Scripture Coincidence.

DR.. Burt, in his book, "The Far East,
Just published, thus notes remarkable
Scripture coincidence:
The tourist in Egypt, looking for Bi-
BILE illustrations, is likely to be disap-
pointed when he finds no "bulrushes" or
'reeds," answering to those spoken OF
in the history of the infant Moses. No
sign of flag, reed, or other aquatic plant
appears, either along the Nile or elsewhere.
Yet there must have been such plants
in former times. The monuments depict
them in great variety-the lotus being a
favorite. And the rolls of papyrus found
in the tombs testify to the existence OF
such plants; the pap, sying been
made from the bark ofe paperreed.
How interesting to the Scripture stu
dent to find that the disappearance Of
these plants was specifically predicted by
the Scripture writer's Says the prophet
Isaiah: 1.-THE reeds and flags shall wither
the paper-reeds by the brooks, by the
mouth of the brooks, and everything
sown by the brooks shall wither, be driven
away, and be no more.
But the question comes, why do moi
aquatic plants now grow in Egypt? Are
not the physical conditions now existing
in this country the same which have al
WAYS prevailed? And does the Divine
fiat now resist natural laws for the fulfil
ment of prophecy?
/ answer that aquatic plants, which
as Herodotus testi6es, were extremely
valuable, were reared, in the time Of
Egypt's prosperity, by artificial means
involving the preparation of reservoirs
and "brooks." Thus, too, by means
of "ponds" and "sluices," the fish wer'
multiplied. And the prediction of Isaial
relates to the destruction of the nice ar
rangements of artificial life, on whicl
depended the country's high prosperity
And how entirely natural that the bath
ing place of Pharaoh's daughter shoul'
be cultivated garden bordering the Nile
where seclusion could be had.
