Wrong Headedness.

Rev. DR.. Mcleod father of the late Nor
man Mcleod was proceeding from the manse
of D to church, to open new place of
worship. As he passed slowly and gravely
through the crowd gathered about the doors,
an elderly man, with the peculiar kind of
wig known in that dstrict,-bright, smooth,
and of reddish brown, him.

1.-THE matter is this, Doctor You see the
clock yonder on the face of the new church.
Well, there is no clock really there-nothing
but the face of the clock. There is no truth
in it, but only once in twelve hours. Now
it is in my mind, very wrong, and quite
against my conscience that there should be
a lie on the face of the house of the Lord. y
duncan, l will consider the point. But

not young now; 1 remember you for many

"Eh, Doctor, you are joking now; it is
long since l have had my hair.

the house of the Lord with "a lie upon your
head?" This settled the question, and the
Doctor heard no more of the lie on the face

of His Majesty's Theater, Be
A Thought for Ministers.

In DR.. Anderson's "History of Missions
there is notice of Rev. Augustus Walker,
missionary of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions to Tur-
key, who died at Diarbekir in 1866. 1t was
written by a brother missionary, the Rev.
DR.. Williams, of Mardin; and, as has been
well remarked, "though brief, it is really a
treatise on Pastoral Theology" 1t is as
follows:
ellis peculiar gifts were three:
81. He remembered faces, and recalled
the names which belonged to them. He
knew everybody. Ordinarily he needed to
meet a man but once, to recognize him ever
after. And this pleases men; it appeals to
their self-appreciation they feel that they
have made permanent impression. Espe.>
cially is this power among people who
look up to the missionary as occupying a
higher plane of civilization. 1t gives him
vast influence over them.
go. Partly as the result of this, but still
distinct and beyond it, he had marvellous
faculty of making every man feel that he
was especially an object of personal interest.
Perhaps not that he alone was such, but
that he was one of those taken into the in
ner sanctum of his affections. Love begetS
love, and believing that they were so very
dear to him, he was soon very dear to tham
And he was never lacking in the outward
expression of love. He was not afraid t1at
they would think he loved them too much.
SO. He always had something to cay.
suppose there is some good done y public
preaching, but it is the preacher who is
ready in the face-to face opportunity who
comes home laden with the sheaves. Mr..
Walker was always ready. Meet man
when he might, where he might, just the
right word was on his tongue. And that
warm grip of his hand, into now many souls
has it infused new and spiritual life So
he begot his children in the gospel; and by
his sermons which were always thoughtful,
he built them up into Christian characters,
as a workman who needeth not to be
ashamed. Our Cutterbull deacon says to
me since his death 81 neUer saw such a
man. When he left for Constantinople in
1859, perhaps one hundred men waited up
upon him out of the city, and he spoke to
every one, and repeated nothing, but had
special word for each, exactly adapted to
his case.

THE LORD KNOWS BEST.


I've often said the words with lifeless lips,
But found no rest;
For in my iumost heart could not test'
"The Lord knows best"
] marked out many sunny days to come,
And viewed my plan
With smiling satistac6on-neitherp paused to think
lis not In man
That walketh, to direct his stumbling steps, -
And my sad breast
Could br, athe no echo, when the shadows TELL
To ''God knows best"
Thus murmuring, cropping thro' the dark d way
l onward pressed,
And sorrow spread her sable wings around
My earthly nest.
1 could not see nor trust the chast' ming hand
That dealt the blow,
Aud wondered that my father long should try
His children so.
and thea cried weak and sinful cry;
'Dear Lord, desist!
! caRBOt feel that all this winding way
Should be the bestH"
Just then l thought heard a soft voice say
Remember child
Have I not brought thee thrO darker day
A scene more wild?'
An Yes did remember then, and hushed
My heart to rest;
And smiled 10 think my Father had HIS way
For he kasl0 best.

Abiding rest
For Thy sweet Dromises-aud let me ever feel

If ONE would lay up treasures for the
hereafter, he must SO use and distribute the
things of this life as to exalt his own moral
and mental nature. To scatter upon earth
is to lay up in heaven. What wide field
of service is before us all Let US each do
his duty, as is within his power, and all strive
to learn the true use of riches.

TRUE WISDOM is thing very extraordi-

about the soprano, and looked back to see if
she. had tainted; but found her reclining I'M

enough to take care of her.
Now,I I admit that we can not all have
such things in our churches 1t costs like
sixty. In the Church of the Holy Bankak
it costs one hundred dollars to have sung
that communion piece:
&c K pretcled, hungry, starring poor"
But let us come as near to it as we can. The
tune "Pisgah' has been standing long enough
on "Jordan's stormy banks" Let it pass
over and get out of the wet weather. Good
bye, "Antioch," "Harwell," and "Boyls-
tom" Goodbye, till we meet in glory.
But, if the prescription of new tunes does
not end congregational singing, have an
other suggestion. Get an irreligious choir,
and put them in high balcony back of the
congregation. l know choirs who are made
up chiefly of religious people; or those, at
least, reSpectfuffOr sacred things. That will
never do, if you want to kill the music. The
theatrical troupe are not busy elsewhere on
Sabbath, and you can get them at half price
to sing the praises of the Lord. Meet.them
in the green-room at the close of the BLACK
Crook" and secure them. They will come
to church with opera glasses, which will bring
the minister so near to them they can, from
their high perch, look clear down his throat
and see his sermon before it is delivered.
They will make excellent poetry on Deacon
Goodsoul as he carries around the missionary
box. They will write dear little notes to
Gonzaldo, asking him how his cold is and
how he likes gumdrops. Without interfer-
ing with the worship below, they can discuss
the comparative fashionableness of "The
Basque" and "The Polonaise, the one lady
vowing she thinks the first style is "horrid,
and the other saying she would rather die
than be seen in the latter; all this while the
chorister is going out during sermon to re-
fresh himself with mint julep, fastening
back in time to sing the last hymn. How
much like heaven it will be when, at the
close of solemn service, we are favored
with snatches from Verdis 1rovatore, Mey-
erbeer's Huguenots, and Bellini's Somnan'-
bula, from such artists as:
Prima Donna Soprano,
MADEMoIsELLE SQUINTELLE,
from Grand Opera House, Paris.
SIGNoR BoMBAsTAYI,
Basso Buffo,
from Royal Italian Opera
CARL SCHNEIDERINE,
First Baritone,
of His Majesty's Theater, Berlin.
If after three months of taking these two
prescriptions the congregational singing is
not thoroughly dead, send me letter direct
ed TO my name, with the title of Q. r. N.
'(old Fogy in Music, and l will, on the
receipt thereof, write another prescription,
which 1 am sure will kill it dead as door

The first amounting of our Saviour occurred

fore His crucifxion, that is, in the second

house of Pharisee while He reclined at

for Him. 1t was performed by woman
who had been, and was then, known as a
sinner, but whose sincere penitence, as
evinced by her conduct, was accepted by
