Plain Words in the Pulpit.

Mr.. Hood, in his work of rare humor, and
learning, and tact, called, so appropriately,
clamps, Pitchers, and Trumpets," has a
a good illustration of the inability of the
people to understand many words which
seem very clear to the preacher. He says:
A clergyman, while composing sermon,
made use of the words ostentatious man. -
Throwing down his pen, he wished to satisfy
himself before he proceeded, as to whether a
great portion of his congregation might COM
prehend the meaning of these words, and he
adopted the following method Of proof
Ringing his bell, his footman appeared, and
was addressed by his master "What do
you conceive to be implied by an ostentati,
GUS MANI" can ostentatious man ?" said
Thomas, "why, sir, I should say perfect
gentleman every good" observed the
vicar; "send Ellis, the coachman, here. "
CELLS" said the vicar, " what do you ina
CINE an ostentatious man to be" Gan
ostentatious man, sir p said Ellis, "why, /
should say an ostentatious man meant, saw.
ing your presence, very jolly fellow" II
is hardly necessary to add that the vicar
substituted less ambiguous word.

THE USE OF THE LAW.

Wherefore the law was our schoomaster to bring
us unto Christ, that might be justified by faith.
GAL. iii: "a
Underlying the word schOOlmaster in this
passage, there is very important truth,
which is, perhaps, not generally observed.
The Greek word rendered SchOOlmaster is
pedagogOs, or, our word pedagOgue, which
now means schoolmaster, though, originally,
this word had very different meaning. The
word p@dagogOS is compound, being derived
from pals, boy, and ago, to lead; so that
it means boy-leader, or one whose business
is to conduct or guide boys.
In order to understand the use of the
word here, it is necessary to know, that,
among the ancient Greeks and Romans, the
custom prevailed of employing slaves to
conduct their boys to school. Such slave
carried the child's books, &C., and he was
called in Latin pedagogus, In Greek, p@da-
gogos, which is the word used in the above
text.
The Classical scholar may find an allusion
to this custom in Horace. See Sat. Book
l, Sat. 6, VS.. 1882, where the poet men
tions that his own father acted as his peda-
gogus.
The meaning of this Scripture, then, is,
that the law is our leader, or guide, to bring
us unto Christ. The same truth is elsewhere
expressed in different language; as, in Rom.
x: 4, "For Christ is the end of the law for
righteousness to every one that believeth." "
But an inquirer might still ask, How does
this law bring one to Christ?
The answer is, because "by the law is the
knowledge of sin Rom. iii: 20.
If one could keep the law, We are told
that he should certainly be saved by the
law. 'For if there had been law given,
which could have given life, verify righteous
ness should have been by the law'-Gal. iii:
q. And it oftentime8 happens that person
under conviction of sin labOrs for time to

The Contract.

Two neighbors entered into contract
when Gotthold happened to be present 1t
was thought advisable that the terms should
be drawn up in writing; but, as the party
who gave the promise offered his right hand
to the other, saying, "there is my right
hand, l will execute what 1 have under
taken;" like an honest man, the other was
instantly satisfied, and replied: "Since you
have given me your word and hand, trust
you as an honest man." "Well done, my
friends!' exclaimed Gotthold "this is old
German truth and integrity. Would that
they were still universal, Christian sincerity
should be the most binding of all obligations;
but, being now SO rare, recourse has been
had to writings and seals: and even these
are not always found to be the best security.
But another thought has just entered my

To be giving, ever giving.

Is that we must learn to give:
Give Of labor, sweat and heart. throbs,
Give of Life if we would live.

When there waits royal feast.
Giving most, thou most retainest;
Giving least, thou shalt have naught;
The wide world through be that great lesson,
"'Tis more blessed, oitener taught.
When others cease do thou begin;
Give sooner, more, and last Of all;
Give Of thine earthly hopes the brightest,
Let them like the raindrops fall.
Richest springs must waste their waters;
Choicest flowers must cast their seed;
Hero blood becomes most precious
When tis split and heroes bleed.
Giving, give as thou receivest
What thou hast of earthly worth;
If thou knew'st the wealth of Heaven,
Would st thou hold the wealth of Earth?
Seek then for thy wealth in giving
Joys of secret, silent giving;
For the yeriest charm of living

How to Spoil your Preacher.

1. Tell your neighbors that he is man
of very ordinary ability.
2. Keep it before the people that he can
do no good.
3. Magnify every fault you see in him.
4. Don't cooperate with him in any effort
he may make to advance the interests of the
Church.
S. Stay away from meeting when you can
possibly find an excuse.
6. Show to the world that you have n
interest in his welfare.
The above rules faithfully followed
ruin the influence of any preacher, tcall
if large number of his parishionefs follow
them.

Truth.

The rarest pearls are found deep-hid in stilleSt
caverns,
Far from the noisy babblings of the pebbly shore;
So Truth comes to the soul in hours of sacred
silence,
Far from the prating rabble's senseless rush and
roar
Truth dwells with God, in quiet,
For him whose heart is pure.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1869-09-22

the preacher Ialf~fee!>sr. &: 49,
the hearer grasps the truth, and his he
feels its power. Let hearers sharpen j
and there is no telling how much it willy
brighten the sermon. The upturned count
enance of listening congregation exalts
the preacher, and his mind takes in range
of thought, and his tongue grows eloquent
as he tells it. He feels that his words take
hold, and weaving his arguments with vigor,
he binds them firmly with strong appeals.
If your preacher is tame, perhaps he only
reflects your dullness. Wake up. Help him,
if not for your own sake, for the sake of
others. He may not do you good; but if
God called him to preach, he has message
for somebody. Do not let your dullness
blunt the edge of his blade.

The Two RoADs.-An elder of church
in the State of New York, few years ago,
owned distillery and manufactured ardent
spirits. The elder was an active Christian,
and seemed quite awake to the benevolent
efforts of the day. His pastor was grieved
that so worthy man should be engaged in
a business which brought temporal and eter-
nal ruin upon his fellow-men, and resolved
to give him faithful warning. While visiting
the elder at his house, the elder looked to-
ward the grave yard and said: 81 love to
look there; it seems to be the way to heaven"

ing to the distillery, sis the way to hell"

the distillery was leveled to the ground.
