OLD AGE.


OLD AGE.
The religion of our blessed Saviour is full
of comfort and consolation for man in every
period of his earthly pilgrimage, and under
all possible circumstances. 1t is adapted to
the child, and the young man or young wo-
man in the vigor and maturity of life. 1t
mitigates the pain of sickness, makes health a
blessing 1t makes the poverty of the poor
man blessing, and the wealth of the rich
man means of doing much good. In no
case do we so clearly see its power as in old
age. When heart and flesh begin to faint
and FAIL then the sustaining power of the gos'
pei is seen and felt The calamities OF old
age are very many, and very great. A feeble
ness that is oppressive, often seizes upon every
member of the body. The senses become
weak or cease to exist. The eyes sometimes
cease to see, and the ears to hear. Not un-
frequently the old become both blind and
deaf. All intercourse with the world is cut
of. Sometimes friends forsake them. Chill
dren lose their natural affection for their
aged and worn-out parents. Really, there IS
seldom anything enviable about old age. 1t
is when the senses die, and friends forsake, and
children become cold and Indifferent, that the
aged servant of God finds a stay in God.
Faith then becomes strong and begins to par
take of the nature of fruition.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

When disease is peculiar to particular
nation or people, physicians call it an endem
ic; where disease is very common, affecting
a whole community in the same way and al
the same time, it is called an epidemic. Usu
ally, epdemics are circumscribed by certain
territorial or meteorological limits and infu'
ences. Both endemical and epidemical dis
eases are more or less contagious. The cause
and circumstances which give the disease to
one individual will give it to others. There
is moral disease, which in some respects re-
sembles both an endemic and epidemic, and
in other particulars is totally unlike both. II
is common to all people, and hence is strictly
an endemic it affects all the same way, and at
the same time, and hence it is an epidemic
1t is, however, limited by no bounds but the
absence of human being. Wherever there
is a single member of Adams countless prog
eny the disease RACES 1t is not contagious.
1T rather hereditary. All are born affected
with the disease. The name of this wide
spread and dreadful malady is selfrighteous
ness. There is nothing in the whole world SO
common, and there is nothing so difficult tc
get rid Of A learned minister Of the gospel
once went to a supplemented man, who was
engaged in digging ditch, for the purpose Of
instructing him in religion. After conversing
with him for some time, the minister asked
the ditcher what he thought was the hardest
thing for the Christian to do. The ditcher
hesitatcd for moment, and then asked the
minister what he thought about it. The min
lister replied that the hardest thing the Chris
tian was called upon to.do, was to cease to
sin. The ditcher replied that he did not think
so. The hardest thing in the world, said he
for any man to do, is to lay aside his self
righteousness. The ditcher was right, and the
minister wrong. There is nothing in the
world which man clings to with such tenac
ity as his self-righteousness. 1t is compare
lively an easy matter to convince a man thai
he is a sinner-a great sinner; but it is hard
to convince any man thatheh has not sufficient
amount ofselfrighteousness to over balance all
his sins. Like the deluded Jews of old, men
are still going about to establish their own
righteousness, and refusing to accept of the
perfect Righteousness of Jesus Christ. Like
the Jews, they are still trusting in themselves
and despising others. According to his own
standard, each one regards himself not neal
so sinful as any one else. He consoles him
self thathe does many good things that Others
do not do. This self:righteous spirit drives
away the great physician of souls, and leave:
the poor deluded soul to pine away and die O
its own poverty. Nothing but Gods almighty
grace can break this spell of Satan. 1t hold:
the soul in fetters firm and strong. Really
self-righteous spirit is the worst spirit in the
world Itis dangerous beyond comparison
1t is the leaven of the Pharisees. 1t is spir
it of destruction which can come out only by
prayer and fasting.

[Original.]
COUNT THE COST.

Prosperity is measured, not by what we
make, but by what we save. In every calcu-
lation, the estimate of gain should not be
made from the gross income, butfrom the clear
savings. What we make is one thing, and
what we spend is another. A farmer may
produce, on his plantation, six bales of cotton
to the hand. At first sight this might be re-
garded as evidence of his prosperity; the con-
clusion should not be drawn until we learn
the amount Of expense he was at to produce
the cotton.
Southern farmers generally work blindfold-
ed. They count the gross income, but rarely
take into account the expenditures. The
gross income from some kinds of crops is
very great, but the expense of producing such
crops is also great. In all their farming ope-
rations, farmers should be careful to count the
cost. Were this done, greater prosperity
would be amongst them, as class.
