The Objection Maker.

1t will always be nice and difficult ques-
ton to decide who are the most disagreeable
people to live with. Our first thoughts, in
framing an answer to this question, will be
directed to the more ugly and venomOuS pas
siOn8-such as hatred, envy, Jealousy, and
the like. 1t will probably be found, how
ever, that those qualities which come under
the head of foibles rather than of vices rem
der people most intolerable as companions
and coadjutors. For example, it may be
observed that those persons have a more
worn, jaded, and dispirited look than any
others, who have to live with people who
make difficulties on every occasion, great or
small. 1t is astonishing to see how this
practice of making difficulties grows into a
confirmed habit of mind, and what disheart-
enment it occasions. The SAVIOR of life is
taken out of it when you know that nothing
you propose, or do, or suggest-hope for or
endeavor-will meet with any response but
an enumeration of the difficulties that WILL
lie to the path you wish to travel. The diff
culty.mOnger is to be met with not only in
domestic and social life, but also in business.
1t not unfrequently occurs in business rela-
tions that the chief will never by any chance
receive, without many objections and mus
bringing forward of possible difficulties. ?
: that is brought to him
mates. They at least cease % taAe galns,
knowing that no amount of pains will pre-
vent their work being dealt with in spirit
of ingenious effectiveness. At last they
say to themselves, "The better the thing we
present, the more opportunity he will have
for developing his unpleasant talent of OBJ
iectiveness and his imaginative power of in
venting difficulties. Arthur Helps.

there Besides this, another large ex-con-
vent church, that of San Jose de Gracaa,
affords ample room for at least twelve hun
dred persons. The other congregations in
the city meet in hired halls and private houses.
In December last, four hundred converted
Romanists assembled in one Of these spacious
edifces, and partook of the sacrament, which
was administered by DR.. Riley and four ex-
priests. The scene is said to have been af-
fecting. Indeed this remarkable revival in
Mexico is something more than mere out
ward reformation. The conversions appear
to be thorough, and genuine piety pervades
the membership of the "Church of Jesus"
1t is not surprising that such work in
neighboring republic, containing nearly ten
millions of Romanists, should excite deep
interest The proximity of Mexico, and the
probability of its annexation to our country,
render its intellectual, political and religious
condition matter of great Importance. The
introduction of such powerful, dangerous
element into our population would be disas-
trous. Romanism is sufficiently strong among
US without annexing multtudeS of the Latin
race. Patriotism and philanthropy demand
that the Mexicans should be enlightened and
evangelical. We must give them an open
Bible, free schools, and pure churches. The
glorious triumphs of the Gospel in the past
few years indicate what can be done in the
future. The danger now is that the work
will be seriously embarrassed for the want
of money. DR.. Riley has come to the United
States to solicit aid, and our men of wealth
should consider it privilege to assist him.
The policy of the American and Foreign
Christian Union, in uniting the various Pro-
testant denominations against ..Romanism,
has been dvinely approved. Its success in
Greece, Italy, Hungary, France, Spain,
Chill, Mexico, and other Papal lands, shows
that united Professionalism is the only re-
Hgious force that can speedily overthrow
Popery. This society was the pioneer mis-
sionary organization in Mexico, and had
been the chief agent in carrying on the
work. An English Methodist writing from
that field says: "Mr Riley has shown him
self thoroughly catholic in his conduct and
teachings, as the object of his mission is not
to set up any particular church, but to work
on the broad principle of the Evangelical
Union for the salvation of souls, throwing
aside all isms. This l consider wise step,
as it would be unwise for him or any other
person to come here and show our Protestant
weakness by seeking to establish any partic-
ular church, having one of the many names
which abound, and thus giving the Romanists
strong argument (for them) against US
namely, that we-lack union, and so cannot
be the Church, Christ
Miss Rankin says; ga great work is +.
given the American and Foreign Christian
Union to perform, and it is demanding the
combined efforts of all Protestant Christen-
dom. A united front can only compete sue
cessfully with such formidable foe as the
Romish Church"

GOLDEN THOUGHTS.
SELECTED FROM LANCE ON THE PSALMS.

SELECTED FROM LANCE ON THE PSALMS.
ALL knowledge and worship of God has
its first aud last roots in the name Of God.
He WHO delights in the songs of Angels,
is pleased to honor himself in the eyes of
his enemies by the praises of little children
WHERE there is a mouth full of malice,
there is commonly a mouth full of curses.
Con ofesrs 10 + word only that which he
will fulfill in deed
THE SIGH of IN, miserable aSakens tLa
vengeance of God, therefore trouble them
not, lest their sorrows make you anxious.
DEATH is often compared to sleep. 1t is
only, however, in connection with Christian
ity, that the idea has bsen fully carried out
by the doctrine of the resurrection. For
as we lie down at night with the hope Of
awaking to the pursuits and eDjoymentS Of
a new day, so the Christian lies down in
death, with the hope of awaking in the morn
ing of the resurrection to the pursuits and
enjoyments of new and eternal day.
AS GoD has provided and appointed to
every Christian his Cross, and also how long
it is to last, it is therefore impossible that he
can forget them while under it.
THERE is much harder trial in the length
of suferingS than in their strength.
We ARE prone to play most upon the worst
string. We set up monument stones over
the graves of our joys, but often forget to
erect monuments of praise for mercieS re-
ceived. We write four books of Lamenta'
tions where we write one of Canticles.
WHATEVER fills the heart expresses itself
in the life, even without words.
If THE heart has departed from God it
has departed from blessing and lies under
the curse; it has departed from light and
lies under darkness; it has departed from life
and lies under delthG it has departed from
heaven and belongs to hell.
SIN not only passes upon all men, but
likewise passes through the entire man.

FALSE HUMILITY.-Dr. Watson tells a
very good story Of Sister Scrub, who was
given to hospitality. and the very bad habit
of running down esefs saiss she had in the
way of meat and drink, as if she would by
this plan induce her guests to praise them
the more. Elder Blunt had endured this
fight of Affections several times, and under
took to put an end to it. "Putting up" at
Brother Scrubs one day, his horse was cared
for, and he was shown into the best parlor,
where everything was nice as new pin
Mrs. Scrub was sorry her house was upside
down, and it wasn't fit for minister to sit
down in, but she was glad to see him, and
would try to make him comfortable. The
dinner came on, and Mrs. Scrub declared
the dinner was so mean and miserable she
was ashamed of it, and when she was in full
blast with her deprecations, Elder Blunt
jumped up, said he couldn't and wouldn't
stay in house where everything was il
such state; he would go where he coult
find something fit to eat, and decent place
to eat in. In spite of all they could do, tht
Elder insisted on having his horse and quit
ting the house. Sister Scrub wept sore ovel
her fault, and being heartily ashamed an(
cured, the Elder in due time returned, an(

CULTIVATE THANKFULNEss.-Said very
good old man: "Some folks are always COM
planning about the weather, but am thank
full when | wake up in the morning and find
any weather at ALL" We may smile at the
simplicity of the old man, but still his Ian
guage indicates spirit that contributes much
to a calm and peaceful life. 1t is better and
wiser to cultivate that spirit than to be con-
tinually complaining of things as they are.
Be thankful for such mercies as you have,
and if God sees it will be for your good and
his glory, he will give you many more. AT
least, do not make yourselves and others un-
happy by your ingratitude and complaints.

II Will Never Leave Thee.
PEYTON HARRISON

In these words the English language fails
to give the full meaning of the Greek. 1t
implies, "Never, no never; no, nor ever!
This world is a world of "leaving, parting,
separation, failure and disappointment. -
Think of finding something shat will never
leave nor fail. Grasp this promise, 81 will
never leave thee, and store it in your heart;
you will want it one day. The hour will
come when you will find nothing so comfort
ing or cheering as a sense of Gods cOmpan-
ionship. Stick to that word "never." 1t
is worth its weight in gold. Cling to it as
drowning man clings to a rope. Grasp it
firmly, as q soldier, attacked on all sides,
grasps his sword, "Never" Though your
heart faints, and you are sick of self-failureS
and in6rmides-even then the promise will
not fail. "Neyerw When the cold chill of
death creeps on, and friends can do no more,
and you are starting on that journey from
which there is no return-even then Christ
will not forsake you. "Never!" When
the day of judgment comes, and the books
are opened and eternity is beginning-even
then the promise will bear all your weight,
Christ will not let go his hold on your soul.

A NEW SONG.

Thevenerable and justly beloved Dr. Muh-
lenberg, bearing delicious fruit in his age,
has written a new song, which we are happy
in presenting to our readers. He is known,
wherever sacred poetry is read and sung, as
the author of
81 would not live Away, ask not to stays"
and We are quite sure that the hymn, which
is adapted to the choicest of our freside
melodies, viii become a household song in
millions of sweet homes.

No ONE can safely so familiarize himself
with vice as to make it frequent subject
of conversation. Pollution will flow into the
heart from words which describe pollution,
even when there is no intention that the use
of such words should produce contamination.
No one can be familiar with stories or songs
of polluted nature, and still retain a heart
of purity.
