1t is said that John Randolph once
suddenly rose up in his seat in the House
of Representatives, and cried out " Mr..
Speaker, Mr.. Speaker, l have found the
philosophers stone. 1t is, Pay as yo~
CO."
John Randolph said many wise things,
but perhaps not one better than this.
"Pay as you go" and you can walk
the streets with manly front, looking at
men in the eye without finching. You
will not have to cross the way to avoid a
dun, or look into the shop windows to
avoid seeing a creditor.
"Pay as you go" and when you laugh,
it will be right honest and hearty one.
Pay as you GO" and when you sleep
you will not dream of bills which you
cannot support
PAY as you co." and your home will
be your home-happy, cheerful, contented
safe
Pay as you CO." But there is one
debt which you cannot pay-the debt
of shortcoming and sin to your Lord and
Sovereign. That can only be cancelled
by the blood of Jesus Christ. Accept
his suretyship, and you will then not only
be square with this world, but what is
far more important, square with the
terrible reckonings of the world to come

A Curious Case.

A curious case of the apparition ofa
living person is recorded as occurring not
longago at Clifton. A lady and her
husband were walking among the fields
beyond the Downs. Suddenly both
observed figure resembling the wife's
brother walking hastily toward them
and the wife exclaimed, Good Heavens
there is Charley" Charley was an officer
then in India. The figure approached
still nearer, and then lightly leaped on a
bank, as ifto join his sister and brother
in-law. At that instant it vanished from
their sight. The lady was so impressed
with the vision that she wrote down an
account of it Immediately on returning
home, and waited with great trepidation
for news from India. The mail brouph,
her letter from her brother dated the
day after her singular vision, and contain
ing the remark " saw you quite clearly
in dream last night. You were walking
in path with j, and I ran to meet
you, and jumped over fence to Join you.
but at that moment, unluckily, I awoke,"

Heaven how thrills my heart the sound,
Heaven and shall it be,
That l shall dwell in endless bliss.
There, where my bless'd Redeemer is.
In joyous extasy9
Those thrones of peace and pure delight
Those beauteOus harps Of gold
Those shining robes Of spotless white
Those themes of rapture and delight
Will ne'er, like earth's grow old.
But ever hallow'd, ever blest,
With newer scenes of grace;
The joys of Heaven grow brighter still,
And through eternal ages fill
Their mouths with songs of praise.
Thou humble, suffering child of God,
Though downcast now and grieved;
Those woes and trials which you fear,
Must work for good to bring you near
The God thou hast believed

sa~ A man may see the figures upon
dial but he cannot tell how the day goes
unless the sun shines. We may read
many truths in the Bible but we cannot
know them savingly till God by His
Spirit shines upon our soul.

RS- Simonides, the philosopher, being
requested to describe God, asked a week
to think Of it; and after that month,
and then year; then being still unable,
he declined the task, declaring that the
more he thought of so great Being, the
less he was able 20 describe Him.

Ba~ Too long sermons. It is not u
good plan, after you have driven nail

and leaving it, to keep hammering away
till you break the head off or split the

Bag There is no prison so deep, or

enemy so strong but God can destroy,
and no request of faith so silent but He
will hear it for our good.
