with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to
detect them; but let me take magnet
and sweep through it, and it would draw
to itself the most invisible particles, by
the mere power Of attraction. The ms
thankful heart, like my finger in the sand,
discovers no mercies; but let the thank

w. Holmes.
The Neao York OJsereer PAYS this
tribute to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Speaking of the masses, it says:
"We believe that the Methodist denofflE
ination is reaching them most efficiently.
They believe and teach the doctrines of
mans lost estate by reason Of the fall
the necessity of the Holy Ghost to re-
generate, the atonement Of a Divine Re-
decmor, and the way of salvation only by
repentance and faith in Christ. Would
to God that those doctrines were preached
with fervid eloquence in the ears of all
mankind. They who hear and believe
shall be saved"
The U,iuers, Catholic paper in
1 Philadelphia, doubts the rapid growth
which is often claimed for the Roman
Catholics in this country and says that
'thc church in America is sad Church
"a section from the bleeding side of
Ireland and not able to retain what it
gets The same paper continues: "What
does it gain? Emngrants-nothing but
cmigrants. What does it lose? The one
case in issue shows that it loses every
year two hundred thousand of the child
rem O. these same poor emigrants. In
view Of such statements the Observer well
says: 'Surely it does not become Pro-
testants to despond."

will, which is rebellion; toward man, it
is self love, which is hard heartedness.
1t was to root out this evil self from as,
and to put love in its room, that Christ
died, and the Holy Ghost comes. Let
not that death and that coming be in vain
for you. But covet, since you must covet,
with godly covetousness, and cease not
to complain, cease not to cry out, weary
the ears of God with prayer, until He
frees you from all selfshness, and from
that worst mark Of t, grudging and eva
eye.
Grey hairs consist not in the multi
tude Of years, but in the number and
: variety of useful observations that are
made; nor is there any reason why wisdom
should be peculiarly ascribed to the aged,
except such persons, by having lived long
er in the world, and having had the op-
portunity ofmany and various occurrences
to ripcn their judgments, have aecordingly
improved it: for it matters not much
whether man makes his observations in
longer or less time, provided he makes
them well. y"
