How Shall Ministers Prepare Their Sermons

Oh, sit down in your study, bar the door,
and say to all callers, "You must not dis
turb me-" Then take your authors: read,
study. mediate Be determined to make a
grand sermon. When your mind is full of
it, then seize pen and make it do the bid
ding of the intellect. Garnish it here and
there with little poetry, so that it may not
prove too dry; and when you have completed
it, preach it over to the imaginary congre-
CATION, and see how in your opinion it will
tell. This is the way some ministers-and
popular ones, too-make their sermons
The people stare and wonder at the immense
learning, and the rhetorical finish, and the
eloquent diction. They retire, compliment
ing their minister, declaring they don't wish
to hear any better preaching than that
Another minister goes to work in very
different way. He says to himSelf:-"I
must watch for these souls as one who is to
give an account" He, too, shuts his study
door and bars it. He must not be interrupted.
But why? Because he is on his knees ask
ing Gods Holy Spirit to direct his mind,
and take out of his heart the selfish desires
of human applause. "What subject shall
l take ?" he inquiries; (which will be most
likely to benefit spiritually my hearers?"
But the answer must be found outside the
study So he goes among his people, and
ascertaihs as far as possible what kind of
soul food they need. Having got the clew,
he goes back to his study, and with much
prayer he renews the work of preparation.
He literally prays the sermon into pungency
and power; or, if Christian experience be
the theme, he is enabled to lead his flock
into green pastures and beside the still wa
tiers. His heart is in that sermon; and when
he delivers it the people say, at was good
for us to be there He neither asks nor
receives any compliments. His reward is,
first, in having discharged his duty; and
second, in hearing that some soul has been
convicted of sin; or some Christian heart
been lifted out of the depths of despair.
Which of these two is the best mode of
preparing sermons?-C Christian at Work.

There are some parents of whom it must
be said that they leave their children to
themselves. This is surely a great sin
against God, against the child, against the
whole family, and especially against the
parents themselves, for they are sure to
suffer for it. Let me describe the case of a
child left to himself.
1. Without right obstruction. This is to
the mind what food is to the body How
many parents are there who give their chill
dren plenty to eat-who would be distressed
to think of their suffering hunger, yet think
nothing Of starving their minds; who let
their children grow upin dreadful ignorance.
Others try to give them education in many
things, but care little or nothing whether
they knew any thing about the God that
made them, and the Saviour that died for
them. On this subject the child is left to
himself. What an awful sin
2. Without good example. The parent S
example is liping lesson. Can the child
learn how beautiful holiness is, if he sssaSk
father and mother neglecting to foHgt
VIII the child be likely to think much about
his souls salvation, if he finds them care
nothing about it?
8. Without restraint. While there should
be neither severity nor laxity, there must
be authority. What punishment Eli brought
on himself and his house, because his sons
made themselves vile, and he restrained
them not
4. Without prayer Ought not parents
to teach their children to pray, and ought
they not to pray with them, in their families
and in secret?
But if parents are so foolish and wicked
as to neglect their duty and leave their
children to themselves, they must have a sad
experience. That neglected child ''5ring-
eth has mother to shame" Who can tell
how deep that shame ana anguish will strike
Blessed are those children who have pious
parents wisely training them up in the
nurture and admonitiOn of the Lord.

How to be Miserable.

Sit by the window and look over the way
to your neighbours excellent mansion which
he has recently built and paid for and fitted
out.
"Ohl that | were rich man.
Get angry with your neighbor and think
you have not friend in the world Shed
tear or two, and take walk in the burial
ground, continually saying to YOURSELF
"When shall | be buried here?'
Sign note for friend and never forget
your kindness, and every hour in the day
whisper to yourself: 81 wonder if he will
ever pay that note?'
Think everybody means to cheat you
Closely examine every bill you take, and
doubt its being genuine until you have put
your neighbor to great deal of trouble.
Put confidence in nobody, and believe every
man you trade with to be a rogue.
Never accommodate if you can possibly
help it.
Never visit the sick or the afflicted, and
never give farthing to the poor.
Buy as cheap as you can and screw down
to the lowest mill Grind the faces and
hearts of the unfortunate.
Brood over your misfortunes, your lack
of talents, and believe that at no distant
day you will come to want. Let the work.
house be ever in your mind, with all the
horrors of distress and poverty.
Follow these receipts strictly, and you
will be miserable to your hearts content
if we may so speak-sick at heart and at
variance with the world. Nothing will
cheer or encourage you, nothing will throw
CLEAN of sunshine or ray of warmth
into your heart.

Pew Renting.

A correspondent of the Episcopalian in
Weighs against the prevalent system of rent
ing pews, as not only unscriptural, but con-
trary to the whole spirit of the gospel, and
absolutely pernicious in the distinctions
which it makes and keeps in existence 1t
is easy to prove that the system is open to
grave objections, but not quite so easy to
propose a substitute that shall remove them.
The plan of free pews has been tried and
has generally proved failure, and we doubt
whether the present mode of securing a rev.
enue for the current expenses of the church
could be exchanged for better, in the pre-,
sent state of congregational feeling on the
subject Without a settled plan, and re-
liable source of income, the maintenance of
all the interests of the church becomes pre-
carious, and, for the present, change would
hardly be WISE We confess, if the people
were generally educated to the proper stan
dard of systematic benefcence, and were
literally to follow the apostolic injunction of
laying by for the support of the gospel on
the first day of the week, as the Lord has
prospered them, the results would be far in
advance of anything that has as yet been
reached in this period of the Church's his
tory and experience.
1t cannot be denied that some very objec-
tionable methods of securing money for the
promotion of Christian work have been re-
sorted to. The house of God has been given
up to fairs and the like, and the very life of
Christian benevolence and charity has been
eaten out by carnivals of frivolity.
This whole matter is the subject of earn
est discussion, and it is not at all improbable
that higher standard of ecclesiastical ethics
may ere long enforce the abrogation of the
present system, and the substitution of
more efficient and liberal policy.

her feelings seemed utterly paralyzed; but
there was her boy, her Edwin, helplessly in
tOxicated, pale as corpse, with red, swollen
eyes, and terrible bruise on his head, where
he had fallen and hurt himself. All night
his mother watched and wept over her fallen
child
In the morning he confessed to her that
he had been accustomed, every hour he could
steal away, to go with those boys and smoke.
He told her how sick it made him at first,
and that he would have given it up, but they
laughed him out of it; told him it was man
ly to smoke-gentlemen did it; and that the
night before they got some wine, and smoked
and drank till he knew nothing, until the
fall and bruise reused him little. o how
repentant he seemed how he promised his
poor mother he would never smoke or drink
again.
But he was weak-minded. The boys
laughed at him. Again and again he yield
ed, and grew from bad to worse, till at last
at the age of eighteen, his misconduct broke
his poor mothers heart, and he died the mis-
cradle death of a drunkard, victim to the
'frst Whit"
And now, boys, whenever you are tempted
by others to smoke-whenever you are told
it is manly, remember Fdwin's fate.

The Light at Home.

The light at home how bright it beams
When evening shades around us fall;
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, to rest, and comfort all;
When wearied with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory, gold, or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name,
Around the light at home.
When through the dark and stormy night,
The hayward wanderer homeward flies,
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he spiesl
1t is the light of home. He feels
That loving hearts viii greet him there,
And safely through his bosom steals
The JOY and love that Danish care
Around the light of home.
The light at home-how still and sweet
1t peeps from yonder cottage door,
The weary laborer to greet,
When the rough tolls of day are Ter!
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heaviest heart
Around the light of home.

Wooden Carwheels.

The Hudson River Railroad Company
has recently placed twelve of the Mansell
wooden carwheels on their drawing room
car. These wheels cost treble the price of
the ordinary cast.iron wheels, but this is re-
garded as of little consequence compared
with the advantages gained by their use
They ride smoothly, making conversation,
reading, and even writing, not only posi-
BILE, but an easy task on the cars. They
are made of thoroug hly-seasoned elm, or
oak, with steel tires; are very durable, only
one accident having ever occurred to one of
them, and that through the carelessness of
a workman; and will wear, by reason of
their elasticity and durability, over four
hundred thousand miles of railway, while
the average use of the ordinary iron wheel
is but fifty thousand miles, after which it is
necessary to break it up.
1t is also asserted that this wheel is so
constructed that it is impossible for the tire
to become displaced, and that the wear to
the track is much less than by the cast
wheel, which of itself would make an impor-
tant saving.
The Mansell wheel is used on the Metro
politan Underground Railway in London,
and there, where the stoppages and starting
of the trains are very sudden and conse-
quently extremely trying, no accident has
yet occurred with them.
If this wheel proves to have all the merits
claimed for it, it will, we hear, be generally
adopted on the Hudson River Road. The
increased first cost of these wheels over the
iron wheels should not prevent railroad cor
porations from adopting them, if it is proved
by trial that with them human life is made
more safe. Their greatest durability and
the saving of wear and tear of track will, it
is believed, render these wheels in the end
much the cheapest.

Good Bye, my Boy, God Bless You.
BY WILL. S. HAYS.

My boyish heart near broke with grief,
When first went to roam,
Across Hfe's dark and stormy sea,
Away from friend and home,
When sad and lonely o! l feel,
Mine eyes grow dim with tears,
Whence r think of feeting joys,
I've seen in boyhood years.
I'd give the world were't mine to give,
To see my mothers face,
But OH she's gone,-I feel the loss,
No other fills her place,
My poor old mother wept and said
"Oh don't let me distress you,
But sadder still to think of her
Who said, "may joys caress you
I'll ne'er forget her parting words,
Remember I'll caress you"
But go and take mothers prayer,
Good bye my boy, God bless you,
And then with trembling lips, she said,-
"Good bye my boy, God bless you,"
When sickness, or when sorrow comes,
Good bye my boy, God bless you.
