of December, 1919, he rode spirited young
horse, according to custom, to Hart's store,
accompanied by servant with CART to
make some purchases. Having finished the
business, he sent the boy and cart on home
ward, and after little time set out himself.
Before the boy reached home, the horse Mr..
Robinson had rode overlook him without
rider. The boy caught him and went for his
master, and found him lying by small run
that crossed the road. Aboutt the same time
some of Mr.. Hart's family came along, and
lifting the old gentleman from the ground
found their venerable pastor dead. The
tracks of the horse showed that he had
turned to the side of the road to the usual
watering place; and had made a leap when
he left it. The Messrs. Hart had met a deer
followed by dogs that had been on the chase
for some time; and there were marks which
showed that the deer had leaped the fence
near where the horse was drinking; and the
sudden leap of the animal from the water had
thrown the rider from his seat. 1t isproba-
bic that in any hour of that day he had suf-
fered more pain from his disease than all the
pains of dissolution. His end was an affect
ing comment on the exhortation he often had
given, to prepare for sudden death. He
was in his 57th year; and the 23d of his
ministry. SENEx.

moir saws Z" Mr.. Tennent assured the
writer, that during the whole Of this busi-
ness, his spirits never failed him and that
he contemplated the possibility of his suffer-
ing 50 Infamous a punishment, as standing
in the pillory, without dismay, and had

to deliver sermon to the people in tnat sit

And on page 200 the following passage
occurs: "The writer sincerely rejoices, that
though number of the extraordinary Incl
dents in the life of Mr.. Tennent cannot be
vouched by public testimony and authentic
documents, yet the singular manner in which
gracious God did appear for this, his faith
full servant, in the time of that distress,
which has just been noticed, (the trial,) is
a matter of public notoriety, and capable of
being verified by the most unquestionable
testimony and records"
I think religious readers are not yet alto
gether prepared to admit, that biographi-
cal sketch of man so eminent, Of minis
ter of the Gospel so devoted, of Christian
so self-denying as William Tennent; one
whose life was no less distinguished by sue
cessful labors in the cause Of vital godliness
than by the extraordinary incidents which
characterized it; prepared and published by
men of such high intelligence, unquestioned
integrity, veracity and piety as Drs. Boudi-
not and Henderson, and who had access to
the most trustworthy and reliable sources Of
information, is not to be credited until it has
been expurgated from errors and mistakes
by distillation through the alembic of some
expert from the "school of critical his
tory"
| think the clear, dispassionate and in
genuous judgment of the author Of "Log
College," given SO unequivocally in favor of
the truth of the remarkable incidents rela-
ted in the life of Mr.. William Tennent,
should outweigh the adverse opinion of a
a whole college of professors of "critical
history" PEDEN.

Prayer Meetings.

On this subject, / fail not to read the
thousandth article, long or short. But l
have seen, or thought I saw, a kind of mis-
take sometimes, akin to that just mentioned.
A particular prayer meeting, or one in q
given and special set of circumstances, is
held up as the only one of any value. A
coat is cut, basted, stitched, shipped, and
fashioned to fit me; therefore it will you.-
Get you one just like it. Now ".circum-
stances" formerly altered "cases." How
can church fill the hour in talking, if none
of them can or will talk? Suppose young
brother can muster courage to get up and
just express his interest in the Saviour once
in while; is it to be expected, or is it to
be desired, that he repeat that utterance
weekly? If you have an abundance of
young brothers, so that you can vary the
person, and the manner, admit that you
need not tire of the story. But suppose
your church is small one, in small place;
must you not use your material according
to its Quality? The Methodists are sup.
posed by some, to have patent for prayer
meeting. My neighbor Holdfast denies it.
Their meetings, he says, do well in certain
circumstances. If they have revival, and
there is either interest or excitement in its
place, it goes on well enough; but as soon
as this subsidies, the meeting flags at once,
and very possibly dies. Or in city, where
there are multitudes of the brightest young
men, cultivated, at least in the way of
business education, meetings of alternate
talking and praying to edi6cation may be
carried on indefinitely.
Now have known two instances of q
prayer meeting carried on in the way fol.
lowing, from year to year, with the best
success. The pastor was always present,
and always conducted it. He always read
each hymn sung. He always called on per.
sons to pray by name. He always read,
and commented on a portion of Scripture,
as the leading exercise. He then gave op-
portunity to others to speak, and sometimes
they did, and sometimes did not, just as they
felt. Now these meetings were attended for
two years, each by more persons than COM
posed the respective churches to which they
belonged; and for ten, and in one case
twenty five years, never tagged in interest
or attendance; the numbers present in
church of from one hundred running to three
hundred and fifty, being from eighty to two
hundred and fifty. That is the most sue
cessful prayer meeting ever known to this
writer. And yet with other people, in other
conditions, it would be advisable to vary it
considerably. A wise man will use all the
tools he has, in the best way he can.-Evan.

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many a rest on the road Of life,
If we only would stop to take it;
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would make it.
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the wintry storm prevalent.
Better to hope, though clouds hang low,
And to keep the eye still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky viii soon peep through
When the ominous clouds are riftedl
There was never night without a day,
Or an evening without morning;
And the darkest hour, as the prOyerb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many gem in the path of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasure.
It may be the love Of little child,
Or a mother prayers to heaven,
Or only beggar' grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filing,
And 10 do God viii With ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing.
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
OF our curious life asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit and grieve and wonder

To Doubling Christians.

If Jesus were on earth, would you not 90
to Him and ask Him to save you? Would you
not believe Him if He said to you: "Thy sins
are forgiven thee; thy faith hath saved thee;
go in peace?" Thus He speaks to you in
the Bible. Hear His voice, believe what
He says, command away every doubt by the
authoritative voice of the mighty Savior.
He is now at the right hand of God; but
still He speaks-speaks from Heaven
speaks in the living words, the Scriptures
of truth. And why is He exalted to the
throne of the Majesty in the heavens? In
order to be Prince and Savior-to give
repentance and the remission of sins. His
name, Jesus, given to Him at His birth, and
again to Him by God in the resurrection,
procaims the blessed truth that salvation is
in Him. Faith in that name is sufficient.
/ Two gentlemen were lately conversing to.
gether upon this momentous subject. One
said to the other, after pointing out to him
the mighty works of Christ on the cross,
"Do you need anything more?"
The other replied:
eyes, 1 think l do; think I must have
some work of my own"
His friend replied:
"Jesus, at the right hand of God is my
title, and my only title, to salvation. Here
are pen, ink, and paper; now write me down
better.
The truth is, that Christ in glory is the
proof of the complete and all-suficient value
of His death. If friend becomes surety
for me, and is thrown into prison on account
of my debt, and l afterwards meet that friend
walking at liberty, am sure he must have
made full satisfaction for my debt, otherwise
he would not be out of prison. So, the Lord,
at the right hand of power on high, is g
proof that He has answered to the full every
demand of God against me as a sinner. His
death is everything or nothing. 1t is either
the entire blotting out and cancelling of
every charge that can be made against me,
or it avails me nothing.
John Bunyan was walking one day in q
field, in great trouble of soul at the discovery
of his own vileness, and not knowing how
to be justified with God, when he heard, as
he imagined, voice saying to him, "Your
righteousness is in Heaven He went into
his house and took his Bible, thinking to
find there the very words that had thus
sounded in his heart He did not discover
the identical expression; but many passage
of Scripture proclaimed the same truth, and
showed him that Jesus, at the right hand of
God, is complete righteousness to every one
that believeth.-,Soltau.

prisonment not exceeding year, and those
men, who could not read, if under the degree
of peerage, were hanged"
How wonderful it seems to us, that such
laws should have been in force in England at
so late period. The "beneft of clergy"
may still be claimed there to a certain ex-
tent; and in all Roman Catholic countries,
we presume, the clergy are wholly exempt
from punishment by the common law of the
land The Church in such countries main
tains its supremacy above all human laws.
