'"Late of Danville, Virginia.

EVANGELICAL SERVICE.

/ Consider the motives to a holy walk.
Put them together. Weigh them carefully
again and again. Do it faithfully, as in
the presence Of God. And then try wheth.
er thou art walking in the way of duty with
a free spirit? Dost thou proceed upon
evangelical or upon legal principles Dost
thou serve God for wages or for love? Ex-
anime thy heart, God looks chiefly at it.
How is it in duty? Is thine obedience to JUS
tify thee in the least, or does it spring from
IA sense of thy being justified freely and
fully? Art thou going about to establish
thine own rig ghteousness, or dost thou sub
NIT to the righteousness of God? Art
thou working from life or for life? o. Ire.
quire thee to examine diligently, BY the
light of the word, and by the teaching of
the Holy Spirit, what thy motives are |; for
there is no acceptable obedience, but what
is done in faith whatsoever if>not of faith
is sin, If thou art acting right, the love Of
Christ $iis constraining thee to obedience.
Thou art living under the influence Of free
grace. Thy conscience is at. peace with
God. Thou hast sweet liberty to serve him
without fear. Thy heart delights in his
service, and love makes his ways the joy Of
thy soul. Thou knowest what Jacob felt,
when he served seven years for Rachel, and
they seemed unto him but few days, for
the love he had to her. A gospel-spirit
does the same to God-love makes long
service short, and hard service easy. Moth.
Ing is pain which love does. And this is
gospel obedience. It is faith working by
love. which refnes duty into grace; the
commandments: are exalted into privileges
the ordinances become happy means of fel.
lovship With God. The believer meets God
in them, and by free converse he exercises
and improves bis love. He draws near to
God, and God draws near to him in prayer,
in praise, in hearing the wore, at the Lords
supper, and in all Sabbath duties. In these
wav> God manifests his gracious presence,
anu the believer rejoices in it. God com.
municates his graces and the believer re.
lceives them with thankfulness.

HUMILITY.

AAS|~-A~~ASt~s.
Pride and Hpnility,ar,s the xsry, opposite
1of each other. Whatever. the one denotes,
the other means the very reverse: ':Hqgml'
ity is a Uhristian grace-pHde IS the gift
of Satan. .Fhe former is an evidence Of
moral sxeellsney-the latterproses the ex:
istence Of moral aepravity,- Humility is most
'pleasing'to God-pride most hateful. Hu-
mility Is submission to God andshis law
pride. is rebellion against g the supreme ruler
Of the universe and contempt for His law
snagevernmens. The humble man loves
Gpd-the proud man hates him. Humility
IS al evidence of good sense Pride. i an
infallible. proof OF ignorance, The. wise
man is humble on accormt Of his morA pdy:

~ A most remarkable case of conform.
ity to hotel rules, at some personal ineon,
venience, is thus related by the Cleveland
Pzaindealer: A guest at one of our ho.
tells, the other evening, was discovered by
the proprietor rather tenderly embracing
the chambermaid. The landlord rebuked
him somewhat angrily, and wanted to know
the reason OF. such conduct. "Simply obey
ing the rules of the house," said the guest
pointing to card tackled to the room door
''Don't it read, ANY neglect Of servants
should be reported at the ofice?' I don't
want to be reported at the Office for neglect
of servants, do II"

GAMBLERS AND THEIR SUPERSTITION

GAMBLERS AND THEIR .SUPERsr1MoNs.
General A. L. r., of Kentucky, perhaps
one of the best card players in that State,
would never play hand or risk a dollar If
there was black cat in 1.-THE room! Ex-
Governor B., from one Of the Western
States, an invetafate gamester, would never
sit down in room where there was look
ing-glass. Some gamblers refuse to play
if, on entering the room, the left foot cross
es the threshold first, and mo. persuasion
can induce them to do so, until they leave
and return with their right foot foremost.
To out your foot on the chair Of q player
is sure premonition of bad luck. Some
men will never play on Friday, =. .s.

CHRIST OUR Ill.

To,some it may sound strange that Christ
is onr all; but on close examination il. will
be found true, It is no rhetorical figure, it
is the enupciation Of, vital trnth--Ghrist
is all in our justification. His blood merits
the, justice Of God in our behalf, and with.
out it there can be no justification. Christ
is all in our regeneration. - 80,
