The Heavenly Honor of an Earthly Office.

One of the most glorious visions of John
in the Island of Patmos was that in which he
saw the throne of God, rainbow about it,
in sight like an emerald, and before it sea
of glass like unto crystal. In the midst of
the throne and round about it were four be.
ings, the countenances Of which probably
typifed, in that of lion, the dispensation
of the patriarchs before the flood; in that
of an OK, the dispensation of sacrifices and
nearer preparation for the great atonement !;
in that of man, the incarnation Of Christ,
and new era of spiritual and intellectual
knowledge; and in that of flying eagle, the
swift, universal and irresistible conquestS of
the kingdom of God in the latter day. And
round about the throne were four and twenty
seats and upon the seats were four and
twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raj
ment; and they had on their heads crowns
of gold.
These four and twenty elders, upon their
seats or "thrones, around the great throne,
suggest to the Christian ministry the grand
est possible in,itement to labor and endur-
ance for the kingdom of the Lord Jesus
They are not the twenty-four courses Of
the Jewish priesthood, for the vision belongs
to the Church at large; and they are not
the general membership Of the Church, for
these are represented in the great multitude
which no man can number, clothed in white
robes, and having palms in their hands,
They are the ministry of the Church of al
aces: of these before and of those after
Christ. 1t is they who present the COLDER
bowls full of incense, which are the prayers
of the saints they who start the new song
and lift the Inscriptions of praise to Him whc
made them kings and priests to reign on th'
earth.
How completely all earthly dignities ar'
abased before the honor of an earthly Office
which God so exalts in heaven How ligft
its present affections compared with th'
weight of its exceeding and eternal glory
How spiritually minded, how patient, how
faithful unto death, should they be whom
God calls to its duties here! How zealou
should they be for the Lord of hosts-tc
maintain the honor of His Church, to rous,
it to the devotion to His cause, and to choos

Prayer.

By explanation, the simplest things be-
come obscure. Hear the physiologist ex-
plain the nature of life, or the metaphysician
define self consciousness, and their explana-
tions will only confuse. 1t is so with prayer.
The labors of the divines to simplify that
which is already perfectly simple, have crea-
ted much confusion in the minds of many
Prayer is simply "the offering of our desires
to God for things agreeable to His will, with
confession of sins and acknowledgment of
mercies." The heavenly Father wishes to
hold familiar intercourse with his beloved
children, and He promises to hear our con-
fessions when We have gone astray, our
thanks when we receive gifts, and our re-
quests when we have wants. He is never 80
busily engrOssed in the affairs of the uni
verse, but that He can sympathze in our
sorrows, our joys, and our wants. If, through
prayer, we accept His sympathy, He will as
suage the first, deepen, increase and perpet-
uate the second, and supply our real wants.
But he is the Judge, not we. This is the
secret of prayer. 1t is mystery, simply
because the divine nature is mystery
Let us not while seeking to fathom and un-
derstand its nature, lose the benefits and
blessings attached to prayer.-Christian o.
serUer.

was. But alas! feared my day of grac
was gonel But the kind encouraging word
that fell from his lips, the precious texts h
repeated, were by the influence of Godi
Holy Spirit made effectual, and l arose from
my bed an altered, trust, regenerateC
man. This was sixteen years ago, and never
can l forget the moment, when | felt, that
The blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin.
Yes, vile as 1 was, the precious atonement
had been made for me, and my feet had been
taken from the horrible pit and miry clay,
and placed upon the rock Christ Jesus, and
He is now all my hope of salvation.
"YOu now know, my friend, why you were
placed in the furnace of affection, and can
say the Lord hath done all things well.
"I can, sir. 1t was to purify me. Be-
fore was afflicted 1 went astray,' but now,
by the grace of God, I can look away from
earth and lay up my treasure in heaven. .,
have been most msrsifaHy dealt with"
"Well, my aged friend, you have passed
the period allotted to man, and | am glad
that as the earshly house Of your tabernacle
decays, you feel that you have "a building
of God, house not made with hands, eter-
nal in the heavens, in reserve for you"
81 trust so, sir; know He is faithful who
has promised and is able to keep that which
have committed to Him, and all my desire
is, to be ready when the summons comes to
take me away"
''DO you not find your employment here
profitable for reflection ?"
81 do, sir; and often think of the time
when 1 too, will be laid in this spot, and my
dust mingle with the clods of the valley. In
imagination l see the dead starting into life,
when the Arch-angels trump shall sound to
assemble them before the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords Oh! that solemn day,
that solemn day, when small and great shall
hear the welcome, Come unto me ye blessed
of my father or the sentence, Depart ye
cursed. Oh may we, sir, be among the
former and then the sweet smile of the Sa-
viour will repay us for all the trials and sOr-
rows we have passed through in this world. "
"May God grant il" I replied.
After paying visit to the tOmbS of my
friends, left the place, rejecting upon the
tran8itory nature of all things below, and
with an increased desire that my treasure
might indeed be alone. My parents and
many relatives were in the happy spirit'land,
and hoped when 1 threw off the shackles of
mortality, my spirit would mount up to those
regions above. Where sparkling crowns
adOrn the brow, and harps of gold are tuned
and strung, for the praises of God

entitled to know, unfounded, and as fac
without one case to sustain the statement.
The audience of over 1000 persons pre-
sented the usual variety, and the sexes sa
mixed, as at Southern gatherings of like
character. The most decorous demeanoi
characterised this large assembly, the bulk
of which was held together for four hours
There was most excellent instrumental mu-
sic between each speech. During its per-
formance, the auditors would refresh them
selves by some changes. But not an almond,
peanut or stick of candy was visible. Some
of the speakers were presented with, literal
ly, a bushel of elegant nOsegays. Seldom
could be found such gathering, so quiet
and orderly. Even the normal applause was
moderately and judiciously bestowed.
The degrees were conferred of A. B. on
twenty-nine graduates, of whom fifteen had
spoken, and on several Masters IN course and
one as honorary. The Trustees added some
three orfour to the list of D. Ds., and one
to that of L. L. DIS In comforting the bao-
calaurate degree the President pronounced
its declarations in Latin.
The college is conducted on the curriculum
plan. It's relations to the Dutch Reformed
Church are very much like those of Nassau
Hall to the Presbyterian. The Governor of
the State seems to have recognised rela-
ton to the Boards of Trustees of both. The
ministers and invited guests were largely
composed of men of the Reformed Church,
and by all the most distinguished courtesy
and kindness were extended to the delegate
of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States" Several Professors of the Theolo-
gical Seminary were present, and his many
Southern friends and admirers will rejoice to
know that Dr. Van Zandt is constantly grow
ing in the confidence of the Church as Prof.
of Theology, and is much encouraged by the
increasingly fair prospects of the Institution.
Sixteen students were added by the new
class of last year; the largest addition ever
made in one year. Very successful schemes
are in progress for increasing largely the
Endowment of the Seminary.

RELIGIOUS LIFE.-Your true religious life
consists in standing where God has put you,
and exercising Christian qualities. 1t con-
sists in showing pity where pity is called for /;
in manifesting patience where patience is re-
quired; in exhibiting gentlenesS where gen.
teness is needed. 1t consists in forbearing G
with others; in bearing others burdens; in
not being easily provoked in thinking no
evil, when evil things are brought to you
in loving, when other men would hate; in
doing, where others would sit still. In other
words, as it is indispensable that the mathema,
tician should make an application of his pro-
blem, so it is necessary that the theory Of
religion should be applied to life.
