REV. ROBERT LATHAM.

ABBA, FATHER.

ADDAS
The object which God has in view in all
his dealings with his people is to prepare
them for heaven. In multitude Of passages
in the Scriptures, we are taught that God
sustains to his people the endearing relation
ship of q father. His government is not that
of a tyrant or q master; but of Il kind and
indugent parent. As the tendcr-hcarted and
loving parent pities the dear little ones who
are dependant upon him for food and rail-
ment, so God pities those that fear him. Ot-
ten parents are forced to correct the faults
of their offspring, and to withhold from them
many things which they greatly desire All
this is done for the welfare of the child. The
treatment may appear harsh and cruel, and
may wiring the heart of the child and cause
it to shed many tear and heave many sigh
Still the parent, hard as it may be so to at
fict the object of his affection, knows that
this severe disci pline is good for it. So it is
with Gods parental dealings with his chill
dren. Often he withhods from them some
much.desired object, and often he afflcts them
with sorrow and anguish of heart. The trou-
bles that afflct the just are many in number,
and frequently very intense. This may ap-
pear harsh and cruel, but it is not 1t is
simply kind parent preparing poor, errlng
child for an eternal Inheritance.
When danger surrounds the child, instinct,
lively it fees to the parent as protector and
comforter. In the day of pain and suffering
there is no voice so consolng to the child as
that of a parent. The hand that wounds is
the only one that can heal. A dark frown
frequently conceals but partially loving
smile. So God deals with his blood-bought
children. With one hand he chastises, and
with the other supports and sustains. Be,
hind his righteous frown is seen life.giving
smile, and when aflictious press upon the
soul, the true believer is granted the mex
pressible privilege of looking up into the face
of the Maker of his body and Trainer of his
spirit, and saying in a flial tone, abba,
Father" What privilege! A poor worm
of the desert, made by redeeming love, child
of the most high God-an heir and joint heir
with the second person Of the adorable Trini,
ty-to an inheritance in the heavens. Why
should the heirs of the kingdom 60 with their
heads down like the bull-rush A few more
losses and crosses and sin will be wholly re-
moved from their souls; pain ceases to afflict
their mortal bodies; anguish can no more
break their hearts, and they will 60 to that
good land where pain and suffering and an
guish and grief are unknown.

Not pins and chains and pretty rings,
Nor any such trumpery things;
Not pipe, cigar or bottled wine,
Nor liberty with kings to dine,
Nor coat, nor boots, nor yet Il hat,
Nor dandy vest or trimmed cravat,
Nor all the worlds wealth laid in store,
Nor Mister, Reverend, Sir or Squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Nor ancestry traced back to Will,
Who went to Normandy to kill;
Nor Latin, Greek nor Hebrew lore,
Nor thousand volumes rambled DER,
Nor Judges robes nor Mayors mace,
Nor crowns that deck the royal race;
These all united never can
Avail to make a single man.
\ truthful soul, a loving mind,
Full of affection for his kind,
\ helper of the human race.

That never baScly bends the knee,
That will not bear a feathers weight
Ofslavcry's chain, for small or great;
That truly speaks of gold within,
That never makes Il league with sin;
That snaps the ictters that despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God and Him alone;
That treinbles ut no tyrants nod

And can smile ut curse and ban,

WHAT DID PAUL SAY Y?-Many years ago
there lived in Virginia Baptist preacher
named B. Though uneducated, he was {
sound thinker and an eloquent speaker, anc
no minister had more devoted flock. 1t wa
the custom, during inclement seasons, to hole
meetings at the residences of members, anc
once or twice during the winter at the house
of the preacher. For many years it was Oh
served that B neither preached nor conducted
the meeting when held at his house, but Sc
cured the services of neighboring minister
He was often pressed for an explanation with
out success; but, finally, in response to the
opportunities of some of his flock, gave the
following:
"When was younger than now-in fact
not long after the commencement of my min
istration-I held meeting at my own house
1t being customary for many Of the congrega
ton to remain for dinner, Mrs. B. sent our ne
gro boy, Tim, to neighbor Paul's for some
butter Tim returned, and located himself
standing on one foot at time, in the out
skirts of the congregation. Being we'll warm
ed up in my sermon, thinking neither of Tim
nor his errand, but only on the most successful
mode of pressing my strongest argument,
demanded with all the energy in my power
'and what did Paul say?'"
Tim, at thetop of his little voice, exclaimed
as Tim only could have done, "He said you
couldn't get any more butter till you paid fol
what you'd got!'
This brought down the house, and cut short
one of the finest efforts of my early ministry
Since then, have kept my preaching dis
connected from my domestic affairs.

ABRAHAM-In how many striking attl-
tudes, each worthy of the artists pencil, does
Abraham present himself in the course OF his
eventful life-eading out the migration from
Haran-crossing the Euphrates-pltchlng his
tent at Sechem-kneeling before the altar at
standing silent before Pharaoh
heading the midnight assault-prostrate be-
fore God, moaning out his prayer for lsll-
matchmaking on his three mysterious guests,
at the tent-door, under the oak of Mamre-
putting at early morn the bottle Of water on
Hagar's shoulder--bowing to the Hittites in
the gate-bending with knife in hand over
Isaac! Yet Abraham, as separate figure,
has not been favorite with any of the great
masters. Is it that the soft and easy flow OF
outline, the perfect harmony of form and COL
oring required for his faithful portraiture has
restrained their pencil? There is certainly
in him a want Of any marked or prominent
feature Yet, looking at him among all the
greatest characters of Old Testament history,
does he not appear walking among his shado-
wy peers, the very stateliest in form, the most
finished in proportion, the most benignant IN
aspect, the most graceful in movement OF
them all? We miss in him the intellect and
dominant will Of Moses, the passionate devo-
ton of David, the farsighted wisdom of Dam
iel-the three who came nearest to him in
spiritual stature but there is dignity, be.
nightly, courtesy, about him which none of
them exhibit. About his piety there is some
thing sngularly attractive-so simple, so do-
mcstic-the age, the country, the tent life,
throwing over it the light as of an Eastern
morning, the freshness as of breeze from
the wilderness. ". Hanna.

HOME RELIGION.

Every age has its peculiar type of religion,
and we may add its besetting sin. The pres
ent age is remarkably deficient in what may
appropriately be called home religion Knowl'
edge has greatly increased, and the love OF
many has so far waxed cold, as to induce them
to attempt to worship God by proxy. 1t is
to be feared that not a few professed Chris,
tians think they have done their whole duty
when they literally support with material
aid, the institutions Of the church, and are
punctual in attendance upon the ordinances
of religion. The discharge of these duties is
all we'll enough, and are hopeful signs of the
existence of divine grace in the heart; but
something more is needed. The individual
who has advanced no farther in the service OF
God, may we'll ask, "What lack 1 YETI" He
has done only part of his duty, if he has done
these things and neglected religion in his
home.
The human family are sociable creatures,
and we have what is appropriately denomina-
ted public ordinances of religion, in which
our devotions are directed by some one else.
Some one not only prays for us, but prays in
our stead. This social feature Of mans ma
ture by no means destroys his individuality.
Each individual is as much independent and
responsible as if he were the only human be-
ing in existence. When away from the gaze
of the public, we show distinctly what is in
US. Every family is congregation, every
house temple where God may be worshipped,
and every head of family is a heaven.or-
dained priest to offer up prayer and praise
Great and lasting as may be the impressions
produced upon the mind by the public services
of God, they are not to be compared to the
impressions which pious parent makes upon
his household by his ministrations at the fam
lily altar. The pathos of the "Cotter's Satur-
day Night" is due to the impressions made
on the mind of its author by his venerable
father when conducting, in his simple way,
family worship. Robert Burns never could
forget the devout appearance which his father
presented, and the solemn tone in which he
uttered, morning and evening, the words, "Let
us worship God." These words produced an
impression upon his mind which is discernible
in every poem and every letter that be wrote.
1t is pity that so many protesting Chris
tians ignore the power of practical godliness
at home, and leave all the teaching and coun-
selling and praying to the preachers. Every
man is priest in his own family. God has
appointed him a work to do that no one can
do for him, and if he does not perform it, it
will never be done, and the records of eterni-
tv alone will reveal the results.
