Unhallowed Marriages.

Solomon's case presents the strongest
protest against unhallowed marriage: a
remarkable example of the danger to
which they expose their souls, who, fasci.
mated by beauty, or blinded by affection,
or under the influence of other and less
creditable motives, become, as the case
may be, the husbands or wives of the
ungodly. Fora pious person to marry
one, however otherwise attractive, who is
a stranger to the grace of God, and feels
no sympathy with them in their love to
Christ-who, though not hostile, is indif-
ferent to religion, is to tempt the fate of
the poor moth, that, attracted by its glare,
futters around the candle, to plunge at
length into the fame, and lose its wings
perhaps its life. Does not almost all ex
perience prove that, in the case of such
incongruous and unhallowed marriages,
the good are more likely to be perverted
than the bad converted? When, springing
from the bank into the pool where one
is perishing, the brave swimmer approach
es the object of his pity, and circles around
and around him to catch his hair or hand,
what care he takes to keep clear of the
drowning grasp!-knowing how much
easier it would be, should he once come
within his clutches, for the drowning to
pull him down, than for him to pull the
drowning out. Inequality in point of
age, or wealth, or accomplishments, or
rank, ,>or Christian sect and denomination,
is no sin. Marriage under such circum-
stances may not be wise, in certain cases,
but is never wicked. The one inequality
from which Gods people should allow
neither interest nor affection to blind
their eyes, is that from which Solomon
suffered, and God, by the mouth of Paul,
forbids, saying, "Be not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers.

Rules to Promote Harmony Among
Church Members.

l. To remember that we are all SUBJ
ject to failings, and in6rmities of one
kind or another.
2. To bear with, and not magnify each
others infrmities. Gal. vi: IL.
3. To pray for one another in our 80
cial meetings, and particularly in private.
James v: 16. 3l ano
4. Always to turn deaf ear to any
slanderous report, and to listen to no
charge brought against any person till
well founded. og Sr5. 10.
5. If member be in fault, to tell him
of it in private before it is mentioned to
others. D '--
S. To watch against shyness of each
other, and put the best construction on
any action that has the appearance of
opposition Or resentment.
7. To observe the just rule of Solomon,
that is, to leave off contention before it
is meddled with. Prov. xvii: IA.
Z s. If a member has offended, to con-
slider how glorious, how God-lke it is
to forgive, and how unlike Christian
it is to revenge. Eph. vi:
9. Remember that it is always grand
article of the devil to promote distance
and animosity among the members of
churches, and we should therefore watch
against everything that furthers this end.
10. To consider how much more good
we can do in the world at large, and in
the church in particular, when we are
all united in love, than We should do
when acting alone and indulging con-
trary spirit.
II. Lastly, to consider the express
injunctions of Scripture and the beauti-
full example of Christ as to these impor-
tant things.
II. Above all, remember to love the
Lord thy God with all thine heart, and
thy neighbor as .hyself.

God Loved Me.

because, to tell you the truth, l feel l
do not love God"

"but God loved me. D."
This answer produced such an effect
upon his friend that, to use his own
words, it was as if one had lifted him
off the saddle into the skies. 1t opened
up to his soul at once the great truth,
that it is not how much l love God, but
how much God loves me"

ABOVE RUBIEs.-"A Are there not
things more precious than gold and bank

Wanted Immediately.
Sunday Magazine.

A few more Aarons and Hurs as at
tendants on the weekly prayer meetings,
to pray for the success of the preaching
of the Gospel on the Sabbath.
Also, few more teachers in the Sab
bath School, of the right sort, who will
give themselves to earnest prayer and
work on behalf of their scholars, until
they all have been brought to Jesus.
Also, a few more tract distributors,
in destitute neighborhoods surrounding
sumptuous sanctuaries, where ga line
may reach him who a sermon flies"
Also, few more contributors to the
Lords treasury on earth, who more
highly prize an eternal treasure in heaven.
Persons seeking such employment may
find it at once by applying, to their pastor.

member that, when Jesus Christ Himself
came to redeem sinners, He came not as
great men are, but as l am. He was
poor. He was the child of the poor, the
companion of the poor, the friend of the
poor. BLESSED be ye poor" was His
benediction "Woe unto you that are
rich," was His warning. Poverty puts
me into the rank of Jesus. Evidently
He desired to show that there was moth
ing mean, that there might be something
noble, in that poverty which He chose to
share. Let me claim that brotherhood
let me live that life of Jesus-and l can
not be degraded by it. "For our sakes
He became poor, that We through His
poverty, might be rich" For our sake,
He spent thirty years of His short life
in the home, in the shop, of the carpen-
ter, that He might teach us how small are
worldly distinctions, how honourable are
the very disparagements of the lowly.

How TO BE RIcH.-Nothing is more
easy than to grow rich. 1t is only to
trust nobody-to befriend none-to get
every thing, and save all we get-to
stint ourselves, and everybody belonging
to us-to be the friend of no man, and
have no man for our friend-to heap in
terest upon interest, cent upon cent-to
be mean, miserable and despised, for
some twenty or thirty years-and riches
will come as sure as disease and disap-
pointment.
