CHRTsTS PERPETUAL PRESENCE

CHRTST,S PERPETUAL PRESENCE.
It. was a sad hour to the little company of
disciples when Christ announced his purpose
to leave them and returH to heaven. Nor
could they at once comprehend his words of
comfort, or see that there was any consolation
III them, IA he spoke Of the necessity for his
return, and of the greater advantages which
should follow to themselves One proof that
his Withdrawal was an advantage, was in the
precious meaning which they after wards saw
in these comforting words. And so, wanting
this understanding of his words, their sad
ness was increased even to bewilderment,
and almost to agony, when his prophecy be-
came fulhlment, and they witnessed his
actual ascent from Olivet to the skies He
assured them that ali authority in heaven and
earth is his he commissioned them TO spread
the Gospel throughout the world, he pro-
missed TO be with them always to the end of
time; but even while these wondrous utter
ances sounded in their ears and while they
stood beholdiug he was taken up from among
them and q cloud received him out of their
sight.
We can now readily understand that while
Christ was visibly with his disciples, they
would almost inevitably regard his bodily
presence as necessary to his spiritual pre-
sence. How could he be where his body was
not and how could his spiritual energy be
manifest when his physical senses were dor
mant "Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died, said Martha, with
cbidiDg regret; aud Mary soon repeated the
words and the tone, with deeper
patbos AS though, being absent, he
had not known the need of Lazarus, or
had not been able to heal him
from afar. "Master, carest thou not that we
perish ?" cried the imperilled disciples on the
boisterous sea, when the Lord was indeed
present bodily, bat asleep. As though being
asleep, His humanity and His Deity were
alike inactive. And thus would it have ever
been. The apprehension of His omnipre-
sence and universal power required his bodily
withdrawal. He went away that He might be
forever near He retired from the sight of a
few that through the Spirits ministry, He
might be intimately manifest to the entire
multitude of believers everywhere to the end
Of tie world.

FROM THE GERMAN OF DIR. A. THoLUCK.
Open thy portals, life, behold
King in thee His court would hold
All who shall tell His worth?
King before whose glorious light
And gorgeous spendor, shrink from sight
The meaner kings of earth.
O see
How He,
In royal state,
Now through the gate
Descends and how
The heavenly choir before Him bow
As ready there He stands, all round
The heights of heaven with song resound,
Aud palms bestrew His way
But all ! how strange as near the earth
Approaching, all this sacred mirth
Grows dim, and fades away;
And palms,
And psalms,
And crowns Of gold,
Aud thrones, behold,
All, all are gone,

Poor straw His bed supplies.

DIR. scHENCK's PUEM oNTc
SYRUP.

This great medicine cured DIR. J. H.
Schenck, the proprietor, of pulmonary con-
sumption, when it had assumed its most for
midable aspect, and when speedy death
appeared to be inevitable. His physicians
pronounced his case inearable, when he COM
menced the use of this simple but powerful
remedy. His health was restored in very
short time, and no return of the disease has
been apprehended, for all the symptoms
quickly disappeared, and his present weight
is more than two hundred pounds. DIR.
Schenck has been equally successful in the
treatment of others similarly affected. Since
his recovery he has devoted his attention ex-
clusively to the cure of consumption and the
diseases which are usually complicated with
it, and the cures effected by his medicines
have been very numerous and truly wonder
ful. The Syrup is a safe remedy. 1t con-
tains no mineral poison and no violent
drug of any kind hence it cannot possibly
injure the system. It's healing effects on
the lungs are most remarkable; it permeates
those organs and carries its salutary in
tiuences to every part; it soothes the inflamed
surface of the bronchial tubes; it promotes
expectoration, and thus enables the system to
throw off the disease. In short, it is the true
remedy and the only one for the most fatal
OF all maladies, as many persons of the high
est respectability who have experienced its
benefits can testify. Numerous certificates
to this effect, and full directions in English,
French Spanish, and German, accompany
each bottle.
DIR. Schenck is professionally at his Princi-
pal Office, No. 10 N. Sixth street, corner of
Commerce street, Philadelphia, every Satur-
day, where all letters for advice must be
addressed.

DIR. scHHNcK's sHAwHnD
TONIC.
TONIC.

This medicine, invented and prepared by
DR.. j. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, is proved
to be the best remedy for dyspepsia, and all
disorders of the digestive organs, that has ever
been offered to the public. The great success
and popularity of DIR. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup are sufficient to recommend this Tonic
to public favor and confidence. 1t was
originally designed to be used in connection
with the Pulmonic Syrup in the treatment of
consumption, but experience proves that it is
adapted to all cases of Indigestion and debility.
The Seaweed Tonic possesses all the strength
ening properties of iodide of iron, iodine, or
iodide of potassium. 1t is also similar in
nature to the gastric juice, the fluid which
nature provides to carry on the process of di-
gestion, and when that fluid is deficient, the
Tonic supplies its place. 1t is the only
medicine which can answer this purpose, and,
consequently, it is the only medicine which
can cure dyspepsia. Other preparations, how
ever they may seem to afford temporary re-
lief, never fail to aggravate the disease. This
must necessarily be the case when corrosive
acids and minerals are used to cure
indigestion; and such are the remedies which
physicians generally prescribe for that object.
The Seaweed Tonic contains no such iniu-
rious drugs. 1t is distilled from vegetable
substance, which. is produced in great abun-
dance on the seashore, the mode of distilla-
ton being similar to that which is used in
the manufacture of Jamaica spirits This
Tonic never disagrees with the most delicate
stomach. In the early stage of consumption
this medicine is generally of great utility, as
consumption often begins with disorder of
the stomach and general debility, for which
Schencks Seaweed Tonic is a certain remedy

THE MANDRAKE PILLS

are composed entirely of roots and herbs,
obtained from the great storehouse of
Nature, and their salutary effects will appear
as soon as the medicine is brought to the test
of fair experiment..
SCHENCKS MANDRAKE PILLS do not
produce any nausea or sickness of the sto-
mach; but when given for Dyspepsia, it may
be proper to use them in connection with
SCHENCKS SEAWEED TONIC. By this
judicious treatment, the digestive faculties
are speedily restored to their full vigor, and
the worst cases of indigestion may be cured.
When we reflect that the liver is the largest
internal organ of the body; that to it is as
signed the important duty of fltering the
blood and preparing the bile; that it is sub
ject to many disorders, and that when it is
diseased, or inactive, the whole body suffers
sympathetically, it is not surprising that IA
medicine which can restore the healthy
operations of the liver should pro-
duce wonderful changes in the
general health, and effect cures
which may appear to be almost miraculous.
Headache of long continuance, severe pains
in the side, breast, and shoulders, aching of
the limbs, feeling Of general weakness, and
weariness, and other alarming and distressing
symptoms, indicative of imperfect or disor-
dered action of the Liver, are speedily re-
moved by the use of SCHENCK'S MAN
