First the CrOss---Then the Jov

Had Christ yielded to the floods of woe
that swept over Him on Calvary, had He
tainted when the vast pressure came upon
Him, how dreadful would have been the
defeat to Him, how exhaustless the anguish
to US! But He set the joy before Him,
and gazing at that He conquered.
Thus only can we conquer We, in a
sense, fill up that which is behind of the
sufferings of Christ, we must take up the
cross and follow after Him in ways of trial
and endurance, but we should ever remem-
Der that we, no more than Christ, are re-
CURED to endure suffering for its own sake
Suffering has blessed ministry if we will
receive it. And when, in the providence
of God, we are summoned to endure the
cross, like Christ, should we set before us
the joy that lies beyond it. We lose sight
of the Joy and so we shrink from the cross
We discOnnect the cross from its appendag-
es, become absorbed in contemplating its
woes, like Peter, looking only on the bois-
ferrous deep, and we shrink, we turn, we
fee !; whereas, if we were to make the Joy
shine clearly before us, conceive of it as
following the cross, then we might endure
it as did Christ. The world is likely to
win us to its joys, hold them before us and
attract us in pursuit of them, and leave
its votaries to endure the cross afterwards.
Not so with religion. Its crosses are before
US in the present life, its joys are beyond,
revealed to faith. Its crosses are brief and
comparatively easy; its joys are eternal and
Unreasonable. I'D.

That Wonderful PRAYER.

Which? Why, that wonderful one which
your mother taught you. Did you ever
think, short though it be, how much there
is in it? Like diamond in the crown of
a queen, it unites a thousand sparkling
gems in one.
1t teaches all of us, every one of us, to
look to God as our parent" Or Father"
1t prompts us to raise our thoughts and
desires above the earth" Who art IN heaU-
en-"
1t tells us we must reverence our Heav-
emily Father" HaIl0a0ed be Thy name"
1t breathes a missionary spirit" Thy
kingdom come"
And a submissive, obedient spirit-"Thy
wW be done on earth as 1t IS IN heaven"

TFarmers, please read the following letter
written by Mr.. Henry c. Cleveland, of Coventry,
for Messrs. Baker, Brown & Co., Newport, Vt,
and then read the letter written and published by
Paddock, Dean & Co., as coming from the same
Mr.. Cleveland, and notice the difference. Mr..
Cleveland says my phosphate was the best; but
no one reading the certificate written by Paddock,
Dean & Co., under Mr.. Cleyeland,s name would
know this fact. The only wonder is that Mr.. C.
had such good results from the Dbl. of P. d. &
Co.'S phosphate, if it was actually made in their
regular "batch."
GTDld Mr.. H. C. Cleveland purchase Dbl. of
their regular phosphate, or did they send him a
Dbl. free of charge to experiment with? IfPad-
dock, Dean & Co.. will answer this simple quest
ion, through this paper, l will send them copies
through the same channel of two different anal
sis of their phosphate, which l have procured
from distinguished chemist, and at an expense
to me of thirty dollars.
VIM. L. BRADLEY.
