/" Prayer meeting and lecture as usual on
Wednesday evening, in the lecture room:
Dear brethren, I urge you all to attend

Some of the "dear brethren" deported

Monthly Concerts,

In some hints to a pastor on the conduct
of the Monthly Concert, DIR. Warren warns
him to beware of being carried away with
the idea that the first care must be to make
it entertaining or amusing, and then offers
some suggestions, from which we take two
l. Let it be held on the evening of the
Lords day. Then the members of the
church, as whole, can best command their
time, have their thoughts occupied with
divine themes, are elevated to a higher
plane of spirituality than at any other time
in the week, have risen to a fuller and
broader comprehension of the meaning of
the gospel and the designs of its founder
and are therefore better prepared to enter
into sympathy with them and pray for the
coming of His Kingdom. You should &c
in for a lost world ON this swelling tide of
religious life, and carry it, laden with the
"supplicati0ns of all saints" to the foot of
the very throne itself
2. Put IN missionary intelligence as help
not as staple of the meeting. The bust
ness of the meeting is prayer-all else il
subordinate and auxiliary. To max,
prayer Intelligent, direct, pertinent, as wei
as tervent and hearty, you want the minC
well informed on the subject of mission
generally, and refreshed from time to tim
with the current history of the undertaking
acquainted at once with what God and mel
have done and are now doing among tn
nations. 1t is better, l think, as a genera
rule, to have the reading and study don
beforehand, and the substance given from
memory. OF course the pastor needs to b
well posted up on all our missions, all on
stations, all our missionaries, with thei
successes and trials, taking in as well tn
labors of other missionary bodies than on
own, ready to deal out the gold of all. Thi
can be done by FIVE sentences at time, i
different stages of the meeting.

Pray with Your Children.

A young mother made it her daily prac
tice to carry her little ones in supplication
to the throne of grace, and yet complained
of a want of faith and definiteness in asking
for them the influences of the Holy Spirit
do you pray for each child separately,
and by manner" inquired the Pastor
mo, that has never been my habit" was
the reply.
81 think it of much importance as a help
to our faith and to the clearness and inteu-
sity of our desire on there behalf You pray
with them, l trust, as well as for them?"
Sometimes l do, but not often"
LET me persuade you, then, to take your
little son and daughter each separately to
the place of prayer, and kneeling with them
before the Lord tell the name the daily his
tory, the special want of each, and see if
your heart is not opened to plead for them
as you have never done before"
Tears were in the eyes ofthe young moth
er as she said, with trembling lips, "Flltry"
As evening came she had not forgotten
her promise; but as she saw that Sarah, her
daughter, was unusually peevish, she
thought it best to take her little son first to
her chamber. Willie was a bright and
pleasant boy of five years, and when his
mother whispered her wish to pray with him
he gladly put his hand in hers and knelt by
her side As he heard his name mentioned
before the Lord tender hush fell upon his
young spirit, and he clasped his mother:
fingers more tightly as each petition for his

his Father in heaven. And did not tn,

The Glory of the Cross.

The Cross of Christ is an object of such
transcendent brightness, that it spreads
glory arounditto all the nations of the earth,
all the corners of the universe, all the gen
erations oftime, and all the ages of eternity.
The greatest actions or events that ever hap
pened on earth filled with their splendor and
influence but moment of time and point
of space but the splendor of this great OBJ
ject fills immensely and eternity. five take
right view of its glory, we shall see it
spreading influence and attracting regards
from times past, present and to come-heaV-
en-, earth and hell---angels, saints and devils.
We shall see it to be both the object OF the
deepest admiration of the creature, and the
perfect appreciation of the infinite Creator
We shall see the best part of mankind for
four thousand years looking forward to it
before it happened, and new generations yet
unborn rising up to admire and honor it in
continual succession till time shall be no
more. We shall see innumerable multitud-
es of angels and saints looking back to it
with holy transport to the remotest ages of
eternity. Other glories decay by length of
time. If the splendOr of this object change
it will be only by increasing. The visible
sun will spend his beams in process of time
and, as it were, grow dim with age; this OBJ
ject hath a rich store of beams which eter
nifty cOnnOt exhaust. If saints and angels
grow in knowledge, the splendor of this OBJ
ject will be still increasing. It's unbelief
that intercepts its beams Unbelief take
place only on earth. There is no such thing
in heaven or in hell 1t will be a great par
of future blessedness to remember the objec
that purchased it; and future punishment
to remember the object that offered deliver
ance from it. 1t will add life to the beam
of love in heaven, and intensity to the mis-
cry of the unsaved. Its rays will not Onl
adorn the regions of light, but pierce tn
region OF darkness. 1t will be the desire o
the saints in light, and the plague of tn
Prince of Darkness and his subjects.
Its glory produces powerful effects whel
ever it shines. They who behold this glor
are transformed into the same image |
melts cold and frozen hearts; it breaks ste
ny hearts; it penetrates through thick dark
: ness. How justly is it called "marvelou
= lightW 1t gives eyes to the blind to loo
l to itself---and not only to the blind, but I
| the dead. 1t is the light of life"---a pow
erful light Its energy is beyond the fore

The Happy Surprise.

a lady distinguished as writer states
that, when she was in her fourteenth year,
the great duty of consecrating herself to her
Redeemer was brought home to her heart
and conscience; and the special obstacle in
her way was fear of an elder brother. then
spending at home his college vacation. He
was young man of brilliant promise but
with great powers of ridicuIe, and she
shrank from his merciless wit. For sever
al days the conflict between convictions of
the Spirit and his displeasure filled her
with agony. At last she yielded herself to
Christ, and resolved to confess it to her
brother, and implore him tomake the same
wise choice. With faltering tongue she
introduced the subject, when to her Joy, he
seized her hand, and, with fearful eyes and
tremulous voice, told her that he too for
some time had been under religious i'm
pressions, and that the great obstacle that
appeared before him was the fear that it
would cut him off from her love and SYM
pathy. What happy surprise was this
to both of them The Messenger.

COVENTRY, VT, March l, 1869.
Messrs. BAKER, Brown g. Co., Newport, Vt.
GENTS In reply to your inquiries about nay
using Superphosphate last season, would say
that used barrel of Bradley's, also a barrel of
Paddock s Deans Superphosphate. I used them
side by side, on piece of land in very poor con-
dition, on which had spread a coat of barn-yard
manure, which was mostly saw dust, which had
been thrown into the yard to absorb the moist
ure. I consider that both kinds of phosphate

rows without any phosphate,) but Bradley's gave
the QUICKEST start, and most vigorous growth
through the season.

Remission,

How may we obtain remission of our
sins Paul answereth, that the man which
is called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, hath
given Himself for them" These are ex-
cellent and comfortable words, and are
promises of the old law, that our sins are
taken away by no other means than by the
Son of God delivered unto death. With
such gunshot and such artillery must the
papacy be destroyed, and all the religions
OF the heather, all works, all merits and
superstitious ceremonies. For if our sins
may be taken away by our works, merits
and satisfactions, what needed the Son OF
God to be given for them? But seeing HI
was given for them, it followeth that VIZ
can not put them away by our own works

pounds hay per acre the previous season. We

crop got little benefit from the dressing and
