A Beautiful Address.

The Gazette yesterday contained an adj
dress to the members of the Shakespeare
Glass in Chester Square School, evidently
from the pen of Rev. Henry n. Hudson.
1t was farewell to his pupils, AID we
doubt not will be valued as its merits enti-
tie it to be. We quote one passage:
"In all your plans and shapings of life be
sure that you make Duty your supreme
concern, and that you keep your pleasure
waiting unreservedly upon her. You may,
indeed, make yourself worthy of happiness,
but you cannot make yourselves happy !;
God alone can do that. For the smooth
benediction of Nature, which we call hap
piness, is thing that happens of its own
accord to those who, with hearts attuned to
truth and right, lose themselves in the prop
er loves and cares and ministries of life.
'And, relatively to us, this benediction must
happen, else it cannot be; we can neither
make nor command it; we may prepare
ourselves for it, but we cannot prepare it I;
we need not go far to be overtaken by it,
but We shall strive in vain to 0vertake it.
All that we need care for is to walk as be-
comes the children of light, and then the
day-spring, eternally prepared in the NOR
al constitution of things, will not fail us
if it do not shine around us it will at least
shine within, And so the only happiness
in this worlds gift that is really worth the
having is the happiness which springs up,
free and unsought, by the wayside of Duty !;
rather say, that which falls down from
Gods bosom silently while our thoughts
and hands are duly occupied in good and
pious works"

Christ's Attractiyeness.

The character of Christ is attractive
The more closely we study it, the more its
beautiful qualities stand out in full relief
before us. His divine greatness appears in
this fact. A sublime work of God in ma
ture grows upon us as we continue to con-
template it. Those who visit Niagara are at
first almost always disappointed. But they
begin to take in all the features of the won
drous scene, its grandeur impresses them
more strongly, and when they have filled
their minds with the sublimities of the
mighty river in its awful plunge, they are
disappointed only in the consciousness Of
being utterly unable to express the emo
tions which crowd upon them. In a way
like this the character of Christ affects us
the more carefully we examine it. His is
a perfect humanity in which a wonderful
purity. gentleness and feminine delicacy
are combined with great firmness and man
ly dignity. He had womanly tenderness,
but no weakness which in a man would be
unbecoming Wefind that he never shrank
from contact with a manly world, and
whenever he went among the busy crowds
he was man among them, commanding
their attention at once, never suffering from
their contempt however much he may have
been exposed to their wicked enmity. He
went, for instance, into the temple among
the greedy money-changers, and they quail
ed before his Indignation. 1t is hard for a
good man to command the respect Of a yll-
famous crowd Christ did.
Christ's attraction is not mere rhetOri-
cal fgment; it is fact. The love Of Christ
impresses people. Hemakes sick beds east
er, binds up the wounds of hearts distressed
by sorrow, and sooths those who have laid
dear hopes away in the tomb. His cross
asserts its real and permanent value, in all
the great crises of our busy lives as well as
in the common duties of ordinary days.
! All the sweetness that there can be in a
good soul in him. AS winds from spice is
lands blow over deserts, burnt up and fever
stricken, so the love of Christ, waited from
his cross bears a saving fragrance to g
wretched dying world.
! We should aim to feel, as deeply as we
may, these attractions of the once shameful
but now glorious cross. Jesus must be to
us not faded name Of history, a dead fact
of the past, but living God strong to re-
deem. Over all who know him at all as he
is, he has this power.
"No fable old, nor mythic lore,
Nor dream of bards and seers,
No dead fact stranded on the shore
Of the oblivious years
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is he;
And faith has still its Olivet.
/ And love its Gailee."
