thing and provide stinted, narrow,
limited salvation, such as thine unbelief
would imagine his redemption to be?
No. We speak of the labors of Hercu-
les, but these were child s play compared
with the labors of Christ. who slew the
lion of hell, turned a purifying stream
through the Augean stables of mans
sin, and cleansed them, and performed
ten thousand miracles besides. and will
you SO depreciate Christ as to imagine
that what he has accomplished is, after
all, little, so little that it is not enough
to save you? If it were in my power to
single out the man who has been the
most dishonest, most licentious, most
drunken, most profane-in three words,
most earthly, sensual, devilish-I would
repeat the challenge which [ gave just
now, and bid him draw near to Jesus,
and see whether the fountain filled with
Christ's atoning blood cannot wash him
white. I challenge him at this instant
to come and cast himself at the dear Re-
deemer's feet, and see if he will say
..cannot save thee, thou hast sinned be-
yond my power 1t shall never, never,
never be, for he is able to the uttermost
to save. He is Savior, and great
one. Christ will be honored by the
grandeur of the grace which he bestows
upon the greatest of offenders. There is
in him pardon enough and to spare. y

Sin hath gone over me,
Yet is this still my plea,

THE EFFICACY OF CHRIsT,s SAL.
WALTON.

Dost thou think, again, o sinner! that
Jesus Christ came out of heaven to do a
little deed, and to provide slender store
of mercy? Dost thou think he went up
to Calvary, and down to the grave, and
all, that he might do commonplace

You cannot be transformed in an in
slant. You cannot be changed between
twilight and sunrise. When, therefore.
you pray that God will regenerate your
nature, will you not give him time to do
such work? When you pray for the
reconstruction of your character, will
you not wait till God can perform such
an act of mercy? If, looking at the in
terror, he sees that the work can be ex-
pedited, he will expedite it; but you
must be patient. Beecher.

LAY PREACHING.

81 want to tell you, +" said an eminent
worker, "what layman did for me in
Greenfield, Mass. Twas only sixteen
years old. My mother had died the
previous December was driving COWS
home toward evening, through slight

me, and holding it over me, said:
"My boy, these are fine cows"
"Yes," said I, ''they are fine.

Fixing his eyes earnestly on mine,
and shifting his umbrella so as to GRASP

Wartime is in Gods hand, and
he stretches it out wide, and we think
that we are forgotten, and that he has
forgotten to be gracious. Wait upon
the Lord. Trust him. Do good. And
be not discouraged. Is your child va

and then wait. Affair." off may be the
turning, and yet it may be there. Ere
long you shall see it, though your eyes
do not behold it now. Do not give up
your hope Wait patiently for your child

THE WHEAT MovEMENT.-The move
ment of wheat has been augmented with
in the last three weeks. and the actual
supply is about 100000 bushels
against 100000 in 1871, at the cor
responding date. The export movement
to Europe from seaboard ports has been,
the last four weeks, double what it was
for the four previous weeks. The ex-
IRENE high price of ocean freights and
the stringency in the money market have
been check upon the active export.
The arrivals at Liverpool in three days
of last week aggregated $4,000 quarters
of wheat, of which $4,000 quarters
were American. In the latter was con-
siderable California wheat. The exports
from San Francisco since July l, 1872,
to September 26, have been upwards of
two millions centals in seventy-six YES
sells. This arrival caused small de-
cline-the probable forerunner of a still
further decline at later period in the
season. The movement of wheat from
the West is less than last year. but, with
that from California, the export from
America has been about equal to that Of
last year.

BE WHAT You SEEM was very
much struck the other day by meeting
with tho following saying of a French
actress: eff am only vulgar and or
binary woman during twenty of the four
and-twenty hours of the day, then, what
ever effort may make, l shall only be
an ordinary and vulgar woman the re-
naming four" There is something
very suggestive in this fact, that an ac-
tress actually felt that if she was truly
to represent great character, she must
habitually cultivate in herself the virtue
she had to exhibit or express; that she
could not seem to be noble or pure if her
own daily life was low and mean. But
how much more forcibly this applies to
the christian teacher! How impossible
it must be for him to enter into the spir-
| it of his office, to be devout, earnest, in
spired by inspirations after the divine
and God-like, filled with an enthusiastic
admiration of the virtue he must incul-
cate, manifesting something like felt
consciousness of possessing or advancing
toward it himself-how impossible must
it be for him to be all this, or even to
simulate, on one day in seven, if, during
the other six, he is living an unspiritual,
careless, ignoble life-the life, as the
French woman expresses it, of ''a vulgar
and ordinary man. Christian Weekly

A good teacher needs to know three
things his Savior his lesson; his schol-
ars. Lacking knowledge of either, he
is not likely to have success in his work.
He must know whom he has believed
in whose name and strength he stands as
a teacher. He must be fully persuaded
in his own mind as to what the Holy
Spirit teaches in the bible lesson of the
day. He must understand the personal
peculiarlties and wants of those to whom
he ministers. Such knowledge can come
only by study and prayer, in faith. Who
is sufficient for these things?
