My Reminder.

1 have beautifully Illuminated text
in my little parlor-the words, what
soever he saith unto you, do it. twas
the gift of very lovely young friend,
who brought it to me and asked me to
find the right place to hang it. "Ah,
Emma" I said, as I looked up at it after
l had placed it upon the wall, what a
beautiful text! what reminder of ones
duty every hour in the day"
"Yes," she said, 81 have the same in
my chamber. The first thing that my
eyes rest upon in the morning is this
text, and l wonder, when l awake, if [
shall have courage to go forward in my
days duties, doing whatsoever my Mas
ter bids me-"
Yes, there it hangs, the beautiful
text, in blue and gold and divers colors.
[ do not know how many times during
the day my eye turns to it, and my heart
turns to it too, I think--"W Whatsoever
he saith unto you, do it.
What does he say unto me, plain,
quiet woman, in my own quiet home? ?
Does he bid me go forth and do some
great thing, and bring some honor upon
myself and family? l think not My
path of duty does not seem like that
God appoints us each place in his great
vineyard, and gives us work to do, and
he saith unto US, "Do it." Mine is a
quiet lot-daily duties, daily cares, daily
labors, daily sorrows, and daily blessings.
Here is my work, my life-work in my
home and about my home; and the Mas.
ter saith, "Whatsoever thy hand fndeth
to do, do it, and when anxious and
troubled, like Martha, about much serv-
ing, he says, q" Casting all your care upon
him, for he careth for YOU" / never
thought much about this text until it
hung in my parlor. | hope it will prove
n silent and effective teacher, and tend
to keep me in the path of duty.

weary weeks around his bedside; the un-
ceasing restlessness of his delirium, and
his utter want of recognition even of our
mother. At last one Sunday morning
the attending physician collected us to-
gether in room adjoining the sick cham
Der, and with all the sympathy of a
Christian prepared us for approaching
death, telling us that no help could avail,
unless it should be the interposition of God.
O how the hitherto brave and self-sacri-
fcing heart of our mother broke in its an
guish and sorrow; how she gathered us
cher children apparently soon to be father
less,) to her bosom, and wept the bitter
tears of wife and mother Can
such scene be described, or are there
not enough bereaved families in this land
of sorrow who can feel such scene with
out the coloring of language?
In this trying emergency to my Chris
tian mother, she hastened message to
our old and venerable pastor, who had
baptized our parents as infants, had
Joined them in marriage, and who had
again baptized US, their children. His
piety was above the irony of the world,
and his walk in and out before his peo-
pie was in conformity to the vows of a
Christian life. He came, consoled US,
took one last look at our dying father, and
promised to pray for him during morn
ing service. Meanwhile the wild NUT
terings of the delirium kept undated,
and we stood around the bed of our pa
rent in mute grief, save the sobs as they
forced their way from our over-fraught
heart. Thus hour after hour passed
away, until about eleven o'clock in the
morning. We heard the opening hymns
of the congregation. The long silence
when the Word was expounded followed,
and we heard again the Doxology.-
Then, as the faithful servant of Christ
his Master retained the people to re
unite again in prayer,-in prayer fOr'our
poor father,-then the delirium ceased
And 0 how l remember it, sleep closed
his eyes; and before that prayer was
ended the physician announced to us
the glad tidings that our fathers life
would be spared.

The More General Study of Gods Word.


Rev. DR.. John Hall, Of New York, in
speech recently upon this subject, urged
the selection of chapters, or portions of
chapters, as the texts of sermons, the
multiplication of Bible classes and the
forming of reading parties" to meet
socially for the perusal and study of the
Bible. He had known of many such
parties, and could testify to their eminent
success.
The thoughtful conduct of family wor-
ship by the head of the household would
greatly promote the study and under
standing of the Word.
Since the beginning of his ministry he
had taught Bible classes with an ever
freshening interest. If he was spared to
reach the age of threescore and ten, he
thought he might then stand on the
threshold of a proper understanding of
this wonderful revelation of Gods truth.
What the Church needed was the more
devout and faithful study of the Bible.
As Elisha miraculously restored life to
the son of the widow of Shunem by
placing his own living body in contact
with the dead body Of the child, so now
the people of God will receive new life
when the living Divine Word is brought
into close contact with the dead Chris
tian, the dead family, the dead Sunday
School and the dead Church.

The Brother Outside.

The National Baptist relates the fol-
lowing incident which, it states, was re-
ceived from the lips of Rev. Fl. Clay
Trumbull:
l was once called to preach in State
Prison. When l heard the tramp, tramp,
tramp of the men, and saw them filing
in to their places, thinking how few of
them had improved their Gospel privi
leges, l was deeply impressed with my
responsibility. l felt my own sinfulness,
and that all the difference between me
and them was owing to the grace of God.
[ told them so, and tried to impress it
on them, that they should each for him
self seek pardon for past sins, and di-
vine help to be holy in heart and life
hereafter. While all seemed interested,
there was one man whose heart was es-
pecially moved, and who sent special re-
quest that l would visit him. / did so
that is to say, I went down the hall and
stood before his cell. I put my finger
through the grating and just touched
his finger. While the tears were run
ming down his face, he sobbed out the
inquiry: "Did you mean what you
said about sympathizing with us, and
that only the help of God made you diff
fer from us?" 1 assured him that l
meant. and felt exactly so. "Oh, then, y
said he, clasping his hands, 81 thank
God, and | thank you. l am here for
life; but l can stay here more content
edly now that l know l have brother
out IN the world." l, too, thanked God
more than ever for such Gospel.
Some years after that l related this
incident in a public meeting, when an
aged man, bathed in tears, arose, and
with a trembling voice, exclaimed. 1.-The
Lord bless you, my dear sir, tor your at
tention to that young man. He was my
son. He was afterwards pardoned out
He enlisted in the army; he did his duty
