Mans Day and Gods.

The contrast between the condition of
earth during the day of man, while Sa-
tan is the deceiver of the nations, and in
the coming age, when Jehovah alone
shall be exalted, is one of the chief
themes of Scripture. Without seeing
this, none can understand the Scripture,
and wrong estimates will be formed of
everything that is passing in the Church
and in the world. The lambs of Christ 8
flock cannot now feed as they should
feed, quietly, peacefully-"none making
them afraid" On the contrary, they
are sent forth as in the midst of wolves,
to be hunted, and worried, and devoured.
" For thy sake we are killed all the day
long; we are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter" The more distinctly they
have heard and obeyed their Shepherd
voice, the more has this been the case.
Many of the lambs, too, have known what
it is to feed on fouled pastures, where
their protested shepherds have fed them
with poison, or fed them not at all. But
it shall be otherwise in the coming age,
in the Regeneration" Matt. xix: 28,)
when 1.-The times of refreshing shall
have come. They shall feed after their
manner thens-Newton.

The Waldensian Work in Venice.

Secretary Kendall writes: During
the last eighteen months there has been in
this city what in our country we would
call great revival of religion. Three
or four hundred people gather together
to hear the preaching of the Word; and
the number could easily be doubled if
another preachar and another place of
meeting could be secured. Nearly two
hundred persons, after careful exami-
nation. have been admitted to the Church.
When the lease of the rooms they now
occupy expires, the priests will doubtless
take good care that these disciples shall
not be able to find any others
Mr.. Cotton, our Consul at Venice.
writes: cit is now less than year and
half since an organized work was be-
gun. In that time hundreds have lis
tened to Gospel truth, and seem still to
thirst after more. Only since December
has the church existed 1t contains
nearly 200 faithful Christians. We have
800 more names on the list as Catechu-
mems, who are being faithfully instructed
in the Bible, and from whose number
recruits will be made to the Church when
they become intelligent Christians. Our
School dates from September last. We
have about so intelligent and earnest
pupils. The Bible is our most common
textbook. Music is taught in the Church
and School, and if you could hear the
musical Italians singing those familiar
hymns, you would think you never heard
such congregational music before. We
have, at present, two places of worship,
in each of which, two or three times
week, there are religious exercises, besides
other meetings connected with the Bible
class, etc. There are generally from
200 to 400 persons in each place every
evening. We have two ministers and
three teachers, and soon will have high
class teacher and organize highir grade.
The school can easily be increased to 200
or 300 if we had suitable arrangements
for school purposes. Our lease of the
building expires in few month. 1t will
be difficult to rent in future. We must

passed through one crisis, when the day
was too dark for mortal sight-when
under the persecution of priests-at
moment of great danger, the faithful and
noble pastor was struck down, and for
days and weeks we feared he would never
assume his place again-nearly losing
bis eyesight at last-his wife sick unto
death-both his children buried in one
week. Then it was dark, and the priests
rejoiced and thought it was all over
But, by the mercy of God, the cloud
passed away, and the work was stronger
than ever
Mr.. Cotton, relying on the generous
support of British and American Chris
tians, has purchased suitable building
for $4,000.

Child-ReligiOn.

A little child claimed to have found
Jesus. She was very small and very
young. She stood among the aged des-
cons as Samuel rested at the knee of
Eli. ''Let us know your evidence,
child" "What makes you think you
are Christian?" cause" said this
birding of Jesus, ''before my conversion
| found something in my heart always
saying, Don't mind Jesus, don't mind
mother, don't be good TO sister," but
since Jesus washed my sins away some
thing bids me do what Jesus says, and l
love to make them all happy at home. "
When asked why she wished to be bap-
tized, she replied, Because Jesus set
the example, and tells me to follow on
to fulfil all righteousness Every heart
was touched, and every head bowed be-
fore the teacher. A little child shall
stand forth as the fulfilled prophecy from
God, sang Isaiah. "And the Spirit of
the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit
of wisdom and understanding, the spirit
of counsel and might, the spirit of knowl-
edge and the fear of the Lord, and shall
make him of quick understanding in the
fear of the Lord"
That prophecy has been fulfilled in
many redeemed child God takes pos
session of child's soul, and is wisdom,
and power, and might within him.
1t becomes us to recognize this truth,
and to employ it for the glory of God
and the good of men. A little encour-
agement in this direction secures impOr-
tant results. A boy of some eleven
years of age came to his pastor one day
and said, pastor, | want to do some
thing for Jesus. "What do you wish
to do my son?'' ITO speak to a man
and tell him to give his heart to God :"
"Do it, - was the injunction. That even
ing, this man going out of church, the lad
touched his hand. Pausing and looking
into the face of the child, he saw de-
picted in the full eye and tremulous lip
a world of interest, and listening, caught

Disappointment.

Old people often meet with disappoint-
ments; they make great calculations, but
how soon all their expectations are blast
ed And for the time being, like the
child, they feel sad, and cannot tell why
it is so. We make preparations for a
journey, but alas something turns up,
and we cannot go; miss the train, or
something else.
Once there was young man ready to
sail for America The vessel was to
leave port in one hour; but he thought
he would take walk through one of the
parks and pluck flower as memento
of his fatherland. While in the act, the
guard came up to him and said: "Do
YOU not know the law? You are not
allowed to do this" 81 know it; but l
thought l wonld only take flower to
remember meme ate heimath. ," And
he would gladly have paid the small fine
of halt dollar; but the guard said ::
"You must 90 with me to the 'e0atch
house. So he went, and had to wait
until the proper officer came to take the
fine. In the meantime the ship left, and
he had to wait for another vessel. 1t
may easily be imagined how the young
man felt. 1t was not long, however, be
fore the news reached him that the ship
in which he intended to embark was
wrecked, and every soul on board per-
ished. 1t was only now that he could
see that, what once seemed to him great
disappointment, turned out to his good.
That flower saved his life. The strict
rule carved by the guard was all for the
young mans good.
Another instance: We are told that
merchant who was devoted Christian,
made ready to go to sea, and just the
day before he intended to start, he broke
his leg. He had always been in the
habit of saying, when anything happened,
"AH for the best" A sceptic now came
in and said to him: "What do you say
now? All things for the best?'" He
replied: 81 haze no doubt Of It," 1t was
not long until the news came that the
ship was consumed by fire. Well might
he then say: ct a0as s0eU that I broke
my leg" And this only confirmed the
man in trusting in an overruling Provi-
dence

Cling Close to the Rock, Johnny.

A long train of cars, fourteen or 6f-
teen, were, few months since, passing
over the Allegheny mountains, on their
way eastward. They were crowded
with passengers. AS the iron horse
snorted and rushed on, they began to
feel that it had begun to descend, and
needed no power, but the invisible power
of gravitation, to send them down.
with terrific swiftness. Just as the pas
sengers began to realise their situation,
they came to a short curve, cut out of
the solid rock-a wall of rock lying on
each side Suddenly the steam whistle
screamed as if in agony, "Put on the
brakes! put on the brakes" oppressed
the brakes, but with no apparent slack
eniOg of the cars. Every window few
open, and every head that could be was
thrust out to see what the danger was,
and every one rose up in his place, fear
ing sudden destruction-"w what was the
trouble"
Just as the engine began to turn in
the curve, the engineer saw little girl
and her baby brother playing on the
track. In moment the cars would be
on them. Close to the rail, in the up
right rock, was nice little niche, out of
which piece had been blasted. In an
instant the baby was thrust into this
niche, and as the cars came laundering
by, the passengers, holding their breath,
heard the clear voice of the little sister
on the other side of the cars, ring out,
"Cling close to the rock, Johnny cling
close to the rock !" And the little crea-
ture snuggled in and put his head as
close to the corner of the rock as posi-
bic, while the heavy cars whirred past
him. And many were the moist eyes
that gazed, and many a silent thanksgiv-
ing went up to heaven.
In few hours the cars stopped at
station, where an old man and his son
got out of the cars. He had come so
far to part with his child, who was going
to an eastern city to live, while the aged
father was to turn back to his home.-
All the dangers that would harrass the
son seemed to crowd into the heart of
the father, as he stood holding the hand
Of his bOy-just now to part with him.
He choked, and the tears filed his eyes,
and all be could say was, ceiling close
to the Rock, my son." He wrung the
hand of his child, and the passengers saw
him standing alone, doubtless praying
that his inexperienced son might ceiling
close to the Rock Christ jesus

A Mistaken Savant.

The scientific Swans do not agree in
their conclusions any better than do other
doctors. Thus Prof. Whitney brought
before the meeting of the scientifcs at
Chicago, Illinois, lately, human skull,
said to have been found under bed of
lava, thirty feet below the surface of the
ground, in California, in 1866; and his
conclusion was. that if the owner of the
skull left it where it was found, he must
have lived untold ages ago
But Professor Siliman, who had spent
long time in the neighborhood, where
the skull was said to have been found,
gave it as his decided opinion, that there
was no evidence there of the existence of
human bones, or of human work of any
great antiquity. And we dare say he is
right. This finding of a mares nest, ten
thousand, or ten hundred thousand years
old, is about played out; and we wonder
that any truly scientific man, with rep
utation for common sense to maintain,
will allow himself to repeat the old infdel
trick of trying to prove the biblical &C
count of mans creation false by his pre-
tended discoveries. Traveller.

the words, "Will you not stop md give
Your heart to Jesus?" The arrow shot
at a venture, pierced the joints of the
harness of the Kings enemy, wherefore
at the urgent invitation he came forward,
saying, " l am wounded" The man who
had withstood the appeal of the preacher
and of conscience, bent before the touch
and melted at the tender look of a little
boy. 80 Lord, our Lord, how excellent
is Thy name in all the earth; who has

The GOLD AND SILVER produced since
the year 1892 has been the subject of in
teresting statistics recently published.
1t is estimated that from 1892 to 1848
the Weld was equal to So. 300, 900, 900, of
which only 50, 261 100000 was in gold,
and $5,670.000.000 in silver. But the
proportion of gold to silver has greatly
changed in recent years so that, from
1854 to 1868, of 1854, 100000 of the
precious metals. $3.379. 100000 were in
gold, and only 1914, 100000 in silver.
Of the gold produced between 1S4S and
1868, America yielded nearly one-half !;
and the United States and Australia pro-
duced nearly four ffths of the whole. 1t
is supposed that Europe and America
possessed, in 1913, six thousand millions
of gold and silver; Of which nineteen
hundred millions were gold, and forty one
hundred millions silver. 1t is asserted
that, owing to the enormous production
of gold since 1913. after making allow
ance for waste, destruction, use in man
ufactures, and export to Asia, for all
losses, that is to say, the supply of gold
in Europe and America is now about two
hundred million dollars greater than that
of silver.

CONvERsIONs.-No child can come to
Christ except with knOsOledge of the
way. There is no way except that de-
scribed in the Scriptures. The child is
to be informed either by parent or teach
er, of his need of Saviour. There is
to be developed in his understanding, and
impressed upon his heart, the character
and work of the Saviour, the suffering,
saving love of Jesus, his complete will

Far above the moon so bright
And the stars which shine at night;
Thou art very near TO me,
Though | cannot look on Thee.
Yet know it was Thy hand
Formed the earth whereOn | stand
Made the grass, the flower, the tree,
Everything | love to see;
Thou did st make them all to raise
Even little children's praise.
Though hy home is far away,
Thou dOst watch me night and day;
Thou canSt hear my feeble tongue
Sound above the angels song,
When they bow their golden wings
Unto Thee, great King of kings.

As the holy angels do;
Thank Thee for Thy mercies given,
Pray, to guide my way to heaven,
And to join the glorious hymn

ALL NIGHT IN PRAYER.-We know
not what we owe those tireless nights of
prayer. The worlds Redeemer there
made intercession for all coming genera
tons. What vast trains of the children
of men must have swept in review before
the Saviour's eyel And as the shep-
herd knows and recognizes each little
lamb in all his flock, so our Shepherd, in
those nights of watchfulness and prayer,
knew and looked upon us, for whom he
came to suffer and atone. For his chosen
he sent upward the voice of intense, earn
est prayer, asking mercy for the sleep
ing world at his feet, and for the unborn
world that he saw with divine vision.
