The Endless Oay.

Scripture silence is never more marked than

VI the few explicit statements made about
heaven there is nothing more beautiful and sat-

the shadows come down over u.s. and shut us
out like a shroud So sober grow the even
lDgs, and few the stars! 1t must be a radiant
country where it is daylight forever and for

Speak Kind Word to Your Minister.

1t was my lot, for nearly score of years, to
be settled over people who were quite unde-
monstrative. They were kind to me- They
treated me respectfully. So far as I knew,
they found no fault with my preaching, nor
with myself. But, with two or three excep-
tions, was uncertain whether they were pleas
ed with me or not

vals were occurring Il was with difficulty
| that they raised my salary and it was feared
that they might not be able to do it much long

In the midst of this state Of things, called
one day upon an aged female member of nv
church, who incidentally repeated to me an ex-
preston which she had heard from one of the
people: lie would sell his old clothes,' he
said, before he would let Dir. s., CO." That
remark was like medicine to me. 1t did me
more good than all the means that [ had en-
| ployed. At once it shed new light upon mat
ters. 1t encouraged me to labor On for the
good Of the people, Ny health soon began to
mend, and by the blessing of God, my efforts
were not IN vain.
Other ministers, I doubt not, are often dis
couraged and depressed for want of some kind
word from their people. IF you can conscien-
tiously speak such word, don't hesitate to do
it. Ii you have been benefited by some SER
mon which your minister has preached, don't
hesitate to tell hiin about it. Or if you have
heard others speak favorably of his labors,
whisper it in his ear. You need not hatter
him, and you should not but if he is faith
ful man, and devotes himself to your good,
you may, and you ought to, speak to him
words Of encouragement. 1t will do him good.
1t will tighten his heart of its burdens. 1t will
stimulate him to labor more diligently and
hopefully. He will feel the favorable influence

Poetry,

It's very good rule in all things of life,
When judging friend or brother,
Not to look at the question alone on one side,
But always to turn to the other.
We are apt to be selfish in all our views,
In the jostling, headlong race,
And so to be right, ere you censure a man.

1t is very hard to be just-to know
The reason another may give [striv en-
How much he has struggled and fought anc
How honestly tried to live;
How much been cheated-how sorely tried,
Ere the wrong he was forced to embrace;
And If you would learn these things, the way
Is to put yourself IN his place."
There's many man crushed down by shame,
Who blameless stands before God,
But whom his fellows have utterly scorned,
And made ito pass under the rod p
Whose soul is unstained by ought of sin
Who will yet find saving grace.
And who would be praised where you now con-
If you'd .put yourself IN his place.

NUMBER LII.
Little Dirk's Faith.
Within the town of Holland once
A woman dwelt, tits said,


So poor, alas the children asked
One night in vain for bread.
But this poor woman loved the Lord,
ana knew that he was good
80, with her little ones around,
She prayed to him for food.
When the prayer was done, her eldest child.
A boy of eight years old,
Said softly, "In the Holy book,
Dear mother, We are told
How God with food by ravens brought,
Supplied his prophets need
Yes" answed she; "but that, my son.
Was long ago indeed
But, mother, God may do again
What he has done before;
And SO, to let the birds fly in,
will unclose the door,"
Then little Dirk in simple faith,
Threw open the door full wide,
SO that the radiance of their lamp
Fell on the path outside.
Ere long. the burgomaster passed,
And, noticing the light,
Paused to inquire why the door
Was open so at night
My little Dirk..has done it, sir,''
The widow, smiling, said,
That ravens might fly in and bring
Ny hungry children bread"
Indeed, +" the burgomaster cried
''Then here raven, lad,
Come to my home, and you shall see
Where bread may soon be had"
Along the street to his own house
He quickly led.the boy,
And sent him back with food that filled
His humble home with joy.
The supper ended, little Dirk
Went to open the door,
Looking up, said. MANY thanks, good Lord l''
Then shut it fast once more
For, though no bird had entered in
He knew that God on high
Had hearkened to his mothers PRAYER,
And sent this full supply.

The Vision of the Diving

Is it not grand and consolatory conviction,
that when Christians are passing away from
their earth-work to their eternal homes. then
the alternating links that chain consciousness
to time and sense are melting away. one by
one, and their consciousness becomes, by grad
ual entranchlsement of a lingering death, more
and more spiritual? Thus sinking to sleep as
to earth, they are awaking to heaven: growing
unmlndtul OF the lower and outward existence
they are arousing to the inner and spiritual life
becoming to the clay-enveloped forms of friends
standing round their falling bodies. thew see
already, as through a mist, the brother beings
who are to be their everlasting companions, :
some OF whom may be already welcoming their
coming. Their hearing waxing dim, and un-
conscious to the melody Of beloved voices whis-
perlDg IN their natural ears, they can become
aware OF q sweeter music, sung by more exquis-
lite voices still, of the beloved who have gone
before them,-in fine, dying unto earth they
are becoming alive unto heaven. Does this
not fully and worthily explain the solemn scenes
of thousands of death-beds? visions of spirit
ual visitants ministering to glorious beings who
cast no shadow gorgeous scenery, bright with
never-fadng beauty; voices thrilling 10 tender
ness music mysterious In harmony the rec
ognition of dear and familiar faces, fondly
loved in by gone or the foreknowledge which
some have received of the exact moment of
their departure There are few families who
have not some tale of this kind to tell. some
testimony to add to this proof of the contigui-
ty of the spiritual world.
