A Lesson of Contentment.

"Give me your sweet music, said the rose
to the nightingale, "that [ may enliven the
garden with melody"
"Give me your soft light" said the night
ingale to the evening star, that l may food
the woodlands with brightness"
"Give me.your strength and motion" said
the evening star to the sea, that 1 may ex-
ert real power over the world"
"Give me your brilliant colors," said the
ocean to the rainbow, "that | may gladden.
the hearts of men, instead of affrighting them
with my wrath of storm"
"Give me your ruddy warmth" said the
rainbow to the fire, "that may assist in
ripening the harvest field"
Each one replied that it was impossible; as
it was created, so it must continue. The rose
is censer of summer perfumes; but it can
not pour forth food of music. The night
ingaIe is a fountain of melody; but it has
not even the brightness of the FREELY. The
star is an unquenchable lamp of splendor;
but it cannot alright the heart of man with
the terror of storm. The ocean is one of
the sublimest objects of the world; but it has
not the mild beauty of the bow Of eamise.
And why should man be ever striving for
something he does not possess? On one is
bestowed the power of intellect, on another
the attraction of loving heart. One can
thrill the world with burst of eloquence;
another can influence the life with quiet
earnestness. The poet can charm it with
song, the merchant enrich it with commerce,
the historian enlighten it with the story of
bygone times. And each one is its benefac.

These sacred institutions present loud
call to the ministry, and the church, to raise
the standard of exertion in every form
And let it be remembered too, that, in times
of darkness, God might wink at things which
he will not pass with impunity in times of
greater light. In thia glorious day of the

Let US, then, my Brethren, here dedicate
ourselves anew to God let us solemnly re-

us devoutly look to that God, from whom
salvation cometb, to inspire the churches un-

Lord Jesus Christ, with spirit worthy OF
their Master, and worthy Of this eventfal
age. AMEN.

GOLDEN THOUGHTS.

The sHARpEsT sting of death is the sense
of unpardoned sin.
Men imagine that they can hnd far
higher throne for God than throne OF grace.
LET us settle it in our minds that saints
on earth are not perfect angels, but only
converted sinners.
The SLIGHTEST sorrow for sin is sufficient,
if it produces amendment--the greatest is
insufficient if it does not.
THE WORKS OF GoD need no miraculous
atte8tation. They shine so brightly upon
the eye, that God and his divine glory may
be sufficiently recognized in them.
/ THAT the Saviour has power over all flesh
constitutes the warrant of the Church in the
great enterprise of the worlds evangelical
tion. Without an adequate faith in this
great truth there will be little heart to pro-
secute this enterprise.
THERE are some theologians, men even in
the gqinistEB who for score of years have
weekly investigated the sacred record, faith
oming its depths, and who know not God so
well as the crucifed thief who said, " Re-
member me when thou contest into thy King
DOM
SOME MEN are very learned in the litera-
ture of prayer, but Christ receives with cor
diality the prayer from which they would
turn away in disgust Some prayers, as
they ascend, are shot at by many an angry
arrow of criticism, but they wing their way
upward, and are cheerfully presented by
Him whom the Father heareth always.
A LITTLE general knowledge Of Christ as
the only Saviour is often all that we possess.
But of the fullness that dwells in him, of
his resurrection, his priesthood, his interces-
sion, his unfailing compassion, we have
tasted little or nothing at all. They are
things of which our Lord might well say to
many, as he did to Martha, "Believest thou
this ?"
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1873-10-15
Social Achans.

Society may have its Achans, as well as
the church. About forty years ago certain
neighborhood in Massachusetts received to
it physician, person of considerable edu-
cation, and calculated, from his profession,
if nothing more, to WELD an important in
fuence over those among whom he resided.
He was not profeSSed Christian, and
whether an inward unbeliever was not cer-
tainly known, as he was man of cautious
speech.
But one thing was open and visible, he ut
terly neglected the sanctuary. He gave no
personal attendance there. His Sabbaths
were invariably consumed by his medical
visits. His family commonly attended
church, but not he himself. His neighbors
might go, if they pleased; no discourage
ment was thrown in their way by anything
said by him. He, expressed himself only by
his example; but that example did sad
work.
Years passed on. This man of influence
grew gray. The fathers, who first welcomed
him, were in their graves and the children
had come up in their stead. They did not
generally avow themselves uubelievers.-
They were not generally reviIers or jewellers.
But this one character was prevalent among
them: they diSregarded the Sabbath and
neglected the sanctuary. Like the neighbor,
under whose disastrous influence they had
come up, they were seldom seen in the house
of God.-American Messenger.

Evangelical Alliance.

The meetings of the Evangelical Alliance
have thus far been successful, both in attend
ance and in the Importance of its proceed
ing8, even beyond the expectation of its
friends. Thoughtful and devout representa-
tves from most of the great Protestant bo-
dies of Christendom have net together in
fraternal fellowship, and have held earnest
counsel for the good of mankind. The meet
ings appear to accumulate interest with each
succeeding day. Simply as spectacle, the
popular demonstrations Sunday evening were
most imposing. Almost two hours before
the meetings in Steinway Hall and in the
Academy of Music were appointed to begin,
the nearer approaches to those buildings were
alive with the rushing tides of people; and
when half-past seven had arrived, thousands
had to turn away from the doors disappoint-
ed in their hopes of getting into either au-
dience room. Let it be remembered that in
an age often accused of being abandoned to
the pursuits which sometimes signify sensu-
Gus ostentation, superficial thinking and friv-
olous enjoyment, grander outpOuring of the
people was evoked by couple of religious
meetings than has greeted in many years
either orator, actor, or prima donna. And
the scene within the Academy of Music was
nothing less than sublime. That spacious
and superb assembly-room is admirably con-
structed to combine and produce the most
impressive effects in such an enormous con-
gregation of people; and when, at the hour
for beginning the meeting, the lights were
turned on, that blaze of splendor revealed
such a sight as can be forgotten by no one
who saw it. Ga the platform and in the
parquet were wise and good men who had
come up hither from all lands-from Africa,
Asia, Europe, and the isles of the sea-to
Join in this great Christian couucil; while
around them, and rising above them, gallery

gether and glowing with the enthusiasm of
one great thought-the unity of the brother
hood in Christ As to the speeches that
were made-they were well; but the occasion
seemed too great for any oratory. The
meeting reached its greatest interest when
all that immense multitude was hushed in
prayer as uttered by the Dean of Canterbury
and by the Rev. DR.. Buddington; and espe-
cially when six thousand voices, thrilling
with the one great sentiment, and blending
into majestic chorus, sang that triumphant
verse
"Waft, watt, ye winds, His story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like sea of glory,
1t spreads from pole to pole;
Till Ger rsnsomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King Creator,
In bliss returns to reign"

A teverish sleep heart oppressed and aching;
And then little waters cruise to ind
