When the Gentle churches manifested
their affection towards him, by ministering
to his necessities, the Apostle Paul received
the expression of their love with thankful
ness. He was glad for their sakes more
than his own, for he desired fruit that might
abound to their account. Yet when he was
in straits he did not murmur. Humility,
patience, faith and love sbOne brightly in
him at all times, and more especially when
under the pressure of affection. No repin-
ing escaped his lips, he cheerfully atquiesced
in the win of God. 81 have learned in
whatsoever state 1 am, Herewith to be con-
tent. 1 know both how to be abased, and l
know how to abound"
What an antidote to the trials of life, 1t
does not come naturally to US; it is a lesson
We must learn, as Paul did And it is one
taught efeetually only in the school of
Christ It.was not human power or human
reasoning which thus enabled the Apostle to
support with cheerful heart the burden of
the Cross. Faith in the power of Christ
was the secret of his consolation. 81 can
do all things, through Christ which strength
ened me.
Have we attained to this happy expe-
rience? Do we know how to 'suffer need?"
Few, as Bunyan expresses it, descend into
the Valley Of Humiliation without a slip or
two. 1t is easier to talk about resignation
than to be resigned. But Paul said, 81 am
Instructed Blessed instruction! The
Spirit alone can teach US the divine art of
eontentment. If He instruct US we may be
able to learn the hardest lesson.

The Suez Canal a Success.

The Suez canal is proving a great success
both for the trade of the world and for its
owners. Despite the persistent prejudice apd
jealousy of England, the English steamer
lines have come to use it almost universally,
and many of their steamers have been alter
ed so as to adapt them to the navigation of
the canal. The stories of the dangers of ship
wreck environing the approaches to the ca
nal prove to have been exaggerations. A
correspondent writing from Port Said, under
date Feb. 7th, says he knows of but one
wreck since the opening of the canal, and
that occurred in the Red Sea. AS for the
practicability of the canal, the following fig
ures tell the story in the most satisfactory
manner" 1t was opened in November, 1869,
and in the first month nine ships passed
through. The traffic has steadily increased
from that beginning; in a year from the
opening, in November, 1870, a fleet of forty
two ships passed, and in December the num-
Der had increased to seventy-two the last
report, that for January, 1871, was seventy
four. Vessels drawing twenty-five and half
feet, and very few draw more, can pass
through without detention. The avoidance
of the manifold dangers of a voyage around
the capes will reduce insurance enormously,
and give great impetus to commerce.
A recent communication from DR.. Jones,
the surgeon af the steamship Alaska, which
entered the Suez canal on the 4th of March,
says that they proceeded some eight miles
through the canal without difficulty, but the
wind becoming fresh, and the ship not an
swering her helm, a tug was necessary. At
the end of four days and few hours the Ca
nal was passed. 1t appears that the receipts
for the year 1870 were 100000 of francs,
about 81, 100000 The receipts for January,
1871, were $1,000 francs, and for February,
800, 900 francs, and for the year he estimated
them as likely to reach 10000, 900 francs, or
over $3,OOO,OOO. The ALASKA is the third
American vessel that has passed through the
canal the first was naval ship, the second
was the arizona, a month since. The wash
ing of the banks of the canal has been much
less than was anticipated, and of course the
expense of keeping it in repair diminished.

Need of Renewal.

A vicious horse is none the better tenn
pered because the kicking straps prevent his
dashing the carriage to atoms and so man
is none the better really because the re-
straints of custom and providence may pre-
vent his following that course of life which
he would prefer. Poor fallen human nature
behind the bars of laws, and in the cage for
fear of punishment, is none the less sad
creature; should it's Master unlock the door
we should soon see what it would be and do.
A young leopard which had been domeSti-
Gated, and treated as pet, licked its mas
ter's hand while he slept, and it so happened
that it drew blood from a recent wound; the
first taste of blood transformed the gentle
creature into raging wild beast; yet it
wrought no real change, it only awakened
the natural ferocity which had always been
there. A change of nature is required for
our salvation-mere restraints are of small
value.

"How is it that Freddy is not as cross
and fretful as he used to be? l have not
heard one ugly, fault-fnding word from him
for ever so long?" That is what his auntie
asked.
cit is because 1 have given my tongue to
God" said Freddy, "and cannot speak
bad words any more.
That is good. But Freddy must not stop
there. He must give his ears to God and
his eyes, and his hands and his feet, and
above all, his heart. Then he will be Gods,
and Gods child will be good and happy

Exchanging Crosses.

One complaining of the burden of life is
represented as receiving instructions from an
angel in dream. She was taken to place
where lay myriads of crosses, and told that
she might exchange her own for any she
chose. She laid aside her own and took up
a jeweled cross, but soon began to totter I'M
der its great weight, and was glad to lay it
down and take up another of chased gold
This was even heavier than the other. She
next chose cross of flowers, but its thorns
pierced her flesh, and became unbearable.
She said, "Why need 1 have any cross %
The angel answered, "No cross, no CROWN
She soon discovered plain cross, with the
word Glove" engraved upon it in letters of
gold, took it up joyfully, saying, 81 can
bear this She found that she had chosen
her own old cross again it fitted her exact
ly, and she was convinced it was the best for
her to bear.

INFIDELs make it an objection against the
purity demanded by the Bible, that human
nature cannot come up to it. So they settle
the matter, not by force of argument, but
from what they feel in themselves; the Bible
must be wrong because they feel wrong. The
fact is that they love sin too we'll to believe
the Bible.

ORDER OF GRACIOUS OPERATIONS
discussion arose between some members OF
Bible class, in reference to the first Chris.
tan exercise of the converted soul. One
contended that it was penitence or sOrrow
another that it was fear, another lOue, an
other hope, another faith, for how could one
fear or repent without belief? Elder c.,
overhearing the discussion, relieved the
minds of the disputants with this remark -
Can you tell which spoke of the wheel
moves first? You may be looking at one
spoke, and think that it moves first, but they
all start together. Thus, when the Spirit of
God operates upon the human heart, all the
graces begin to effect the penitent soul,
though the individual may be more conscious
of one than another"

For an hour or two he had slum-

side him, his hand clasped in hers,
when he opened his eyes, and, look
ing at her with a world of affection
in their clear, steady gaze, said:

bent her face, dripping with tears,
