DRAINING TIE LAKEs.-A Leaven-
worth paper brooches the grand project,
10y which Chicago proposes to distance
all its rivals. A shi canal, one thousand
feet board and sixty feet deep, is to be
constructed across the State of Illinois,
to some point on the Mississippi river,
enough below the level OF lake Michigan
to admit of steady flow OF water into
the Mississippi. The following results
are to ensue: The river st. Lawrence
will become but brook. Niagara Falls
will stand damp wall of rock, il indeed
the water does not flow back over them,
forced by the tremendous suction of
Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and
Milwaukee, will be sixty feet above the
present high water mark, and millions of
acres of new land will appear in the shall
low lakes. New York would be nowhere.
The largest vessels in the world would
navigate the Mississippi, sand steam tugs
Of extraorc inary powcr"-we qaote tie
Leveworlh paper-"would bring sailing
vessels from New Orleans to Chicago in
four days" The work will cost only
$s4,Ooo,ooo; and Chicago, with the help
OF Levcnworth, will raise this little
amount in few days.

He bids me cast, not some, but all ma care

My heart can have no rest unless it leans

Appearance of Christ.

None of the Evangelsts, not even the be-
loved disciples and bosom friend of Jesus
has given us the least hint of his counte-
nance and stature. In this respect our
instincts of natural affection have been wisely
overruled. He who is the Saviour of all
and the perfect exemplar of humanity should
not be identified with the particular Inca
ments of one race or nationality We should
cling to Christ in the spirit and in glory,
rather than to the Christ in flesh. Never
theless there must have been an overawing
majesty and irresistible charm even in his
personal appearance to the spiritual eye, to
account for the readiness with which the
disciples forsaking all things followed him
in reverence and boundless devotion. He
had not the physiognomy of sinner. He
reflected from his eye and countenance the
serene peace and celestial beauty of a sinless
soul in blessed harmony with God. In the
absence of authentic representation, Chris
tian art in its irrepressible desire to exhibit
in visible form the fairest among the chill
dren of men, was left to its own imperfect
conception of ideal beauty.-Dr. Schaf.

do not wish you to read sermons-your

may find what comes as near to rollicking as
is allowed to preachers. You are to 90 twice

you will improve it. l have been to many
of these gatherings, and I avow that l have

elders, than | ever had the good luck to come

What the Church Bell said to the People
What the People Replied, and what Con-
science Added.

The quiet of Sunday morning was bro
ken by the tones of church bell. Over the
town foated its full, rich music, and then
came back again in faint echoes.
The bell seemed charged with message to
the people, which it was telling with all its
might, and the message ran thus: "Come-
Come" Come-Come." Come-Come.
But although well understood, it was not
needed by many, and this is what the people
said who did not heed it; and what con-
science said to them.
-"Come-Cofne.'
People.-"W We are not feeling very well
to-day"
Conscience.-" Isn't it strange there are
so many sick people on Sundays? Many
who are well enough on Saturday night are
unable to go out on Sunday; and those who
are so sick on Sunday recover when Monday
morning comes. It. might seem as if some
weekly epidemic visited the town with full
supply of headaches, colds, fevers, and other
| disorders.
Bell" -"Come-Come."
People," The weather is too unpleasant
to-day"
Conscience. Yes, the weather on Sun
days is always wrong; too hot, too cold, too
wet, too cloudy, or too windy. Sunday heats
are so exhausting, Sunday rains are SO pen
etrating, Sunday colds so piercing, that no
one but the minister and the sexton should
60 out to church,"
Bell" Come-Come."
People.-"We have company"
Conscience.-" Isn't there something said
about the stranger within thy gate keeping
the Sabbath holy?"
Bell" Come-Come."
People.-"Our garments are not good
enough"
Conscience. There are great many
directions in the Bible about how we should
come before the Lord, but the style and quail.
ity of ones clothing are not mentioned
The church isn't millinery establishment
or a show room. In old times the rich and
the poor met together, for the Lord is the
Maker of them ALL. y
BeU-"C Come-Come."
Peopk, 1--WE are better than some who
go to church"
Conscience. 1t may be much better than
some, but are you satisfied with that Will
it do to tell the Lsrd so? There is some
thing in the parable of the Pharisee and
Publican bearing upon this point
Bell" Come-Come."
People.-,"We haven't any seats in
church."
Conscsence.-" Yes, there are always seats
there for all who come. There need be no
fear of intruding, for all are welcome, and
there need be no fear of wearing out your
welcome, for you are urged to come every
Sunday"
And so the church bell kept ringing out
its message, Come-Come; and some
needed the message, came thanked God for
the privilege of coming, and resolved to come
always. Others still refused, and conscience
went to sleep, murmuring, ere it slept,
"What shall it profit man if he gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul?"
