PRAYING FOR THE STRANGER.

A young lady from one OF the British
provinces lately came to Boston seeking
employment. In a church she attended,
the pastors prayer had some fervent pc
titions for the stranger Her heart was
greatly affected by an allusion so inter-
esting to herself She felt that she was
cared for though she unknown to the
preacher, and though far from her own
home She must attend that church
again, under the influence of such an
attraction. AT her next attendance a
sermon about the prodigal son gave
her impressions speedily resulting in her
conversion, and union with the church.
She has returned to her distant home,
rejoicing in such blessed result of her
visit to the city, and never to forget the
kindness of the pastor whose prayer for
the stranger had an issue Of which he
had not dreamed, and which will give
new stimulus to the fervor Of his inter-
est in behalf of strangers and visitors
here from distant lands.
Cannot other preachers see their own
duty and privilege in the fact above re

me in" -Comgregdttondlist

TIE WORLD.


The question which young Christians
often put is this: How much of the
world mayI carry into my Christian
profession how far may ] GO with the
opinions and enjoyments and habits of
the Christless without making ship
wreck Of my faith? We fear all such
questions indicate secret longing after
Egypt and its bondage can unconscious
desire to divide the heart between
Christ and the world. We would
rather hear young Christians put the
question, How much of Christ can
bear into the sphere. of my common
life because this indicates the true
Christian standpoint. 1t is given 10
the believerto subdue the world to
Christ; and they who understand this
high calling ought never to dream Of
making compromise between Christ
and the kingdom of His enemy. To
keep near the Savior, and to be loyal
in our love and service in all things,
viii, lead us into true life-yielding
joys that are abiding, ane pleasures
that are immortal realities; but to be
constantly meeting the world in the
spirit Of compromise, and to be content
to live near the line that was crossed
in conversation, indicate an eye that is
backward on slave land, and a soul
that is secretly worshipping the spectres
shades OF idols Of the world. "Little
children keep yourselves from idols"

THE VICTORY.


Perhaps thou art expecting from
Christ what He has not promised. such
victory over thy corruptions, that
they shall not fight for some time, OF
That they shall be quite dead and buried ;
and SO they shall he in the Lord gap-
pointed time. But now He calls upon
thee to fight against them; He pro.
vides thee armor for that purpose, even
the whole armor of God; and He res
quires thee to resist unto blood, striv-
ing against sin, promising thee daily
victory. This is thy present state OF
warfare. To this thou art now called,
and there is no discharge in this war;
o beware then, as thou lowest thy soul
g of q false peace a Thou wilt be sadly
deluded if thou ever supposest that thy
lighting IS ever, before thy course be
finished. The good fight of faith must
continue till death, for till then cor
ruption being in thee, thou must OPP
pose it, relying upon God for promised
victory over it. He is able to save
thee from the very being Of 1t now, as
we'll as in heaven. But it is not Hin
mind and will Here He will have
thee to live by faith, which is every
moment to keep thee dependent upon
Christ, or thou wilt fall Thus to exalt
His gracej and to subdue thy selfish
legal spirit to humble thy pride to
put thee upon prayer and watehful-
ness; to make sin more hateful and
heaven more desirable; and to secure
the glory oe every victory to Him,
whose, strength is perfected in thy
weakness. y Ronaai1e.

IT'S SWEET TO HEAR THE WATCH Docs
HONEST BARK"-BUt Here is one WAo HIS
SOUNDED HIS Last BOi0- WOly.-Y esteTday be-
tween and O'Clock p. m, quite an excite
ment was caused at the corner OF 18th AMI ID
streets By the savage attack OF bull dog upon
a little colored girl, ten years old, named RAJ
cbel Coleman. Ii seems this little girl, with
companion, were crossing 18th street, when
they were met by Bill Coleman, cOlored, who
was leading the dog by means OF stout chain
attached TO his collar. In passing, Coleman set
his deg upon the little girls 10 friRhten them
at the same time giving out tue slack in the
chain, when the dog sprang upon this girl and
nearly tore her LETT ear OF, and lacerated the
bsck part OF her head shockiDgly; at the same
time with its powerful paws stripped her nearly
naked. The child's screams brought a crowd
together, and among them Mr.. Lemuel Weed
en-, former hostler OF No. 2 fire engine COMPANY
who d&rted through the Gro Wd, ana seiZing the
dog by Its hind legs whirled il above his head
and dashed its brains out on the pavement. The
act was pronounced by the entire crowd as a
heroic one, and Weeden received many thanks
and praises for it. Coleman was then ar
rested by Lieut. Skipp0n on the charge OF as
sault and battery. The little girl was taken
INTO the drug store OF MIR. EntEisle where
medical attention. was given her.
