This One Way.

Among Gods ancient people, when
man had ''killed his neighbor ignorantly,
whom he hated not in time past" his life
depended on his reaching the city of refuge
before the avenger of blood should over take
him. And to facilitate this, way leading
thither was prepared and the slayer was
only too happy to find, and keep it, till
within the city. In like manner a refuge.
or place of safety has been prepared, and a
way open for him who has broken Gods
law of love, and is exposed to the avenging
stroke ofjustice, and his eternal life is sus-
pended on his properly and seasonably
availing himself of this provision. This ref
uge is Christ, who is able and willing to
save to the uttermost and the way to be
saved by him is to believe in him, i. e. make
an unconditional surrender to him, and
trust in him for pardon, righteousness,
strength, all needed grace. So we are plain
ly taught in the Bible. And all who try
this way find it to be entirely satisfactory
But how slow are men to understand the
truth on this subject a few days since a
friend distinguished for uprightness ofchar-
acter, said, 81 have had difficulties in reli-
gion, have tried different ways but moth
ing was satisfactory till made an uncon
ditional surrender to Christ" How many
have had similar experience? They
have tried different ways. As well nigh
the slayer in Israel hope for safety in some
other city, and the way to it. Let us fee
that time is too precious, and we have to-
much at stake, to spend one moment in try
ing different ways, and at once make tina
surrender to Christ, which will ensure on
safety for our eternal future. G. L.

The Aii-CIeansino Blood.

A writer in the Christian Advocate
speaks fifty of that rich passage in one Of
Johns Epistles-''The blood of His Son
Jesus Christ cleanseth Us from all sin
1t has been said that "the biography Of
certain texts of Scripture is more wonder
full and valuable than the biography of
hero" If some angel were fully to write
out the biography of that text which sug-
gested the title of this article, what book
it would make How many aching hearts
and dying head have been softly pillowed on
that verse. 1t caught the eye of Capt He'd
ley Wears when he was a daring leader in
sin, sent him to toss all night on sleepless
bed, and enabled him to rise calmly in the
morning feeling that it was true for him"
Afterward, while ministering to his men,
who were dying. by scores of black fever
and cholera, in a wretched Greek hospital,
he wrote to friend SHOULD I die now,
you know my only confidence is in the cross
of Christ, and in the knowledge that the
precious blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth
from all sin; words as full of sweetness
and power to me now as on the day when
they first made to my soul the power of
God unto salvation
1t was spoken by John Wesley to {
highwayman who had robbed him of his
purse. Manyyears after that man met hin
as he was leaving church and told hin
that verse of Scripture was the means of {
total change in his life and heart Luthe
disposed of long catalogue Of his sin
which Satan showed him by demandin,
; that his enemy should write those magi
: words at the bottom. Butler, the Autho
of the Analogy in his last words said, .

but l never felt their meaning as now

Rehninu The Silver,

Sometime ago a few ladies Were reading
the third chapter Of Malachi, "BekHfd | will
send my messenger, and lie shall prepare
the way before me-" etc. One Ofthe ladies
gave it as her opinion, that the fuler's soap
and the reiner's silver were only the same
image, intended to convey the same view
of the sanctifying influence of the grace of
God. mo" said another they are not the
same image, there is something remarkable
in the expression in the third verse. He
shall sit as refner and purifier of silver.
They ali said that possibly it might be so. "
This lady was going into town and she
promised to see a silver-smith, and report
what he said on the subject. Shewent, and
without telling the object of her Grand beg
ged to know the process of refining silver
which he fully described to her. But dc
you sit, sir?" ooh yes madam, | must sit
with my eye steadily fixed on the furnace
since if the silver remain too long it is sure
to be injured" She at once saw the beau.
ty, and comfort, too, of the expression, He
shall sit as a refner and purifier of silver
Christ sees it needful to pnt his children
into the furnace; but heis seated by the
side of it. His eye is steadily intent on tn,
work Of purifying, and his wisdom and hi
love are both engaged to do do all in tn,
| best manner for them. Their trials do no
come at random; the very hairs of thei
heads are numbered. As the lady was re
turning to tell her friends what she hac
heard, just as she turned from the shol
door, the silver-smith called her back an'
said he had forgotten to mention that he on
ly knew the process Of purifying was com
plete by seeing his own image in the silver
When Christ sees his image in his people
his work of purifying is accomplished

MauQie'S Answer.

One day a lady was teaching class of
little girls in Sunday school.
"My dear children" she said, chow soon
may we give our hearts to God, and become
true Christians?7
They didn't answer at first. Then turn
ing to the oldest scholar in the class, she
asked: "What do you say, Mary?"
When we are thirteen"
What do you say, Jane ?"
"When we are ten"
"What do you say, Susan ?"
"When we are six"
At last she came to little Maggie, the
youngest scholar in the class. "Well, Mag
gle" she said, "and how soon doyou think
we may give our hearts to God ?"
Gust as soon as we feel that we are sin.

Wrestling PRAYER.

There's nae good dune, John, till We get
to the close grips" So said "Jeems, the
doorkeeper" of Broughton Place Church,
Edinburgh, to the immortal DIR. John
Brown, the author of "Rab and his Friend"
Old Jeems got into a.marvelous nearness
with God nprayer, and cOnversed with him
as he would with his cain father" He I'M
derstood the power of a close grip when an
earnest soul is wrestling with God for a
blessing.
Prayer IS poacer When Luther was in
the mid-heat of his awful battle with the
Great Beast, he used to say, 81 cannot get
on without three hours day in pr aver.
John Welsh, of Scotland, often leaped out
of his bed at midnight, and wrapped plaid
about him, and wrestled with the Lord un-
til the breaking of the day. His preaching
was mighty, when he came to his pulpit
from these Penuets of pleading with his
God. There is many church among us
which is in a midnight of slumber and bar
renness. But repentance and wrestling
prayer will bring the daybreak.

Individual Work.

Whenever a church so far mistakes the !
end of its existence as to suppose that its
main business is to keep itself warm and |
comfortable by the enjoyment of its Ordi-
nances, it is certain to discover Its error |
sooner or later. Ordinances will prove de- |
ceitful cordials to men who will not work
the work of God. The warmth which once
they found in the services Of the Lords
house, will die out of them, and professors
will shiver, even in the midst of them, as
we sometimes shiver before fire, when we
seek for that heat without which would
come at once, were we by vigorous exercise
to accelerate the circulation.
1t surely is not an extravagant demand
to make, when we say that no man ought
| to be member of Christian church, who
is not able to point definitely to some work
he is doing for Christ, or to assign some
sufficient reason why he is doing none at
all. In many instances it may be almost
wholly restricted to the home circle. This
must be the case with many Christian mo-
theirs, who have families demanding all
their available time and energy. 1t is not
for these to climb into garrets, and dive in
to cellars, to visit and relieve the victims
of sickness and poverty. Christ has found
them work in their own house. They are
to make their children the daily witnesses
of their piety, they are to convince them
that Christianity has not spoiled. but sane
titled, and even glOrifed their motherhood
But there are thousands in our churches
who are environed by no such narrow linn
its. Home does not present a sphere suffi-
GENTLY wide to exact and exhaust all their
time and energy, and these cannot secure
an acquittal, either from their conscience
or their God, unless they have elsewhere
some well defined work, to which they have
given themselves as by vow and consecra-
ton. There is no slight criminality at
, taching to that man or that woman, who if
the great Husbandman were to come at any
moment of the day or night, would be I'M
) able to show him his post of labor in the
vineyard. If he be neither planting, nor
watering, nor gathering out stones, nor bur-
ming destructive roots, nor mending the
l fepces, what advantage does the vineyard
. or its owner reap from his presence at all ?
And how will he face the hour of reckon
7 ing when only those who have toiled will
= receive wages ?-ReU. E. MetI0r.

yet so tyrannize over mems consciences, is
the most glazing of all contradictions.
