Clardius on st. John.

From my youth [ have been fond of
reading the Bible, for all my life [ was
fond of it. There are such beautiful
parallels and enigmas in it, and ones
heart afteTward becomes so fresh and
full of courage. But most Of all do
love to read St. John. There is some
thing so altogether wonderful in him
twilight and night, and through these
the quick darting lightning! A soft
evening cloud, and behind it the large
full moon There is something so
sweetly sad and full of presentiment,
that one cannot get enough Of it.
Whenever | read st. John it is to me
as if | saw him lying before me at the
last supper on the bosom Of his Master
and as if his angel were holding the
candle for me, and were ready at GER
tain passages to fall upon my neck and
tell me something into nay ear. I do
not understand near all | read, but yet
| often feel as if it were floating at
distance before me what St John
meant, and also in those places where
| look as into dark deep, | have still
a presentiment of some great and glo-
rious sense, which | shall some day un-
dcrstand, and hence it is that [ always
seize upon every new commentary upon
St. John. True many only pick at
the fringes Of the evening cloud, and
the moon behind 1t rests undisturbed.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1874-09-17
The Little Blind Girl and Her
Bible.

\ little girl who loved the Bible
dearly became blind, and when she
could no longer see to read it she only
loved 1t more A kind friend gave
her New Testament printed for tbs
use OF the blind, in raised letters,
which she could feel with her fingers,
and so make out. Never was child
more delighted than she. Itawas a
touching thing to see her. every mo-
ment she could spare, passing her fn-
gers slowly over the page, as her lips
silently uttered the precious words,
But her touch was not quick enough
for her; her finger-ends, poor child !!
were rough, and sometimes she had to
stop long time over word. SO one
day she took a penknife and lightly
pared away the skin from just the tips
ofs her fingers, hoping that SO her feel
ing would be more tender. and she
could get on faster. What was her
distress in finding, after few days,
that her skin had grown again, but so
hard that she could not feel the shape
of a single letter she tried and tncd,
but all.in vain j; then, bursting into an
agony of tears. she pressed the much
loved pages to her lips, to bid them, as
she thought, a last farewell. But as
she did so, she suddenly found out
that her lips had the feeling which her
fingers had lost The letters, the
words, We're quite plain , 1 cannot
tell you her JOY that she still could
read. And hundreds Of times since
the blessed book has been held to her
lips, net in sorrow for farewell kiss,
but in thankfulness and JOY. that even
she can read the words Of everlasting
life.-The Shtning Light.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1874-09-17

Would you keep your rosy COM

Would you have others respect YOUR

Would you marry and be happy, to

Would you have good health, 90 out

than freckles.
Would you respect yourself, keep
your heart and body clean.
Would you retain the love ola friend,

Wouid you gain the confidence Of
business men, do not try to sport the
style Of your employer,
Would you never dread to look any

Would y9u never be told iie' do

How TO Preach the Bible.

Preach the word as it appears to
you in the Book Of books-truth for
all. In that book you find the stalk
on which the grain grows. The far
mer forgets the stalk when in winter it
appears as straw but remembers it
when it appears in springtime and sum-
mer, bearing his hopes of richest har-
vest. Let the Bible always appear to
ycu in its summertime of growth.
Make yourselves so familiar with the
Bible that truth will come to you as
the breeze comes with the soft air Of
spring. | recall my early pastorate in
a missionary field in Indiana, where |
vas shut up with my New Testament.
The constant study Of it az that early
period Of my ministry, drew in truths
which under other circumstances than
those of Isolation cdtld not hare bea,,
attained; and which have h,een to me
a. lastinp 'Denediction.- Shut off
rom all other books. from the Bible
YOU may learn the highest duties OF
YOUR vocation H ". Beecher.
