From the Southern Presbyterian.
But We're Safe, Charlie, "
A TRUE INCIDENT.

Breakfast was over, and the not yet
threadbare theme of war-times had given
drift to our conversation.
" 1t was fearful night" said Mr.. Barry.
"Two hundred of US were kept there till
daybreak, between withering fires from froat
and rear. At sunrise we had one hundred
and eighteen killed or wounded. Only
eighty-two of US returned to camp"
"Were any killed very near you, sir" l
asked.
I eyes," he replied, ga friend came run
ming up the line, stopped by me, and placing
his hand on my shoulder, said, I'VE charged
them in front just now' 1 asked him if
any fell, YES said he, Captain is dead,
and Sam johnson is gone, too; but we're
safe, Charlie.' He' didn't seem to realize
that they were pouring bullets into US as
thick as hail. But these very words were
the last he ever spoke. AS he close his lips,
his hand slid off my shoulder, and he sank
at my feet. He had been shot dead.
Ye young, then, come to Jesus To,
morrow death may wait you. "We're safe,
Charlie" is lie, has deceived too many
now, but is deceiving yet many more. Be-
sides, unexpected death is not. the greatest
danger. We read somewhere the fable of a
sticks gatherer, who, finding his bundle too
heavy, opened it and-put IN a fen more
sticks; tried it again, found it too heavy
still, SO he opened it-and added more, and
so kept on till the load could not be moved.
So is it with our sins and habit. Because
they are hard to bear to Christ, shall we in
crease and strengthen them? Each day
you put the matter off, the bundle grows and
grows. Each day 1t becomes more probable
that you shall not be saued. Each hour you
procrastinate, it becomes more likely that
you will never take this waiting, loving Jesus
as your Saviour. Then, reader, delay no
longer, but Come to Jesus just now."

throughout the world. When this spirit be
comes intensified and universal, or nearly 80
it will we think constitute the Millennium
for all we need is such degree of love tt
God and the souls of men as to make com
plete and cheerful conservation of all we have
and are to the service of God, and the angela
can do nothing more. We hope some begin
to see the path of duty, especially our for.
eign missionaries who have left all for Christ;
but the most of us are like the blind man
who with one touch of Christ could only see
men as trees walking. Before Christ came
into the world there was general expectation
of his advent as the time approached, not
only among the Jews, but such other nations
as had been taught by them. Why then
may we not expect his mighty power in the
year 1000? For some of the wisest men
have said, "The seventh chiliad or 1000
years from the creation of the world, is to
be kind of Sabbath" But we do not sup
pose that all of Adams pace epen then will
be converted for we are told that afterwards
"Satan will be loosed for a little season, to
deceive the nations" Some suppose Christ
will appear on earth personally and reign as
a King, but that would be useless, as he
could only be in one place at time; but in
more important sense he says, "Lo, [ am
with you always, even unto the end of the
world"
g. TIE increasing attention to the rising
race is of God, and is happy presage of q
mighty revolution in the Church. People
converted late in life are too apt to fall back
imperceptibly into old habits and lose their
first love. By thus postponing the main
matter, and reversing the order of nature,
they are too weak and wavering for the great
work. There was wisdom in the sentiment
once uttered by DR.. j. H. Rice in an ad-
dress before the American Bible Society.
He said, "Should any one ask me why the
Millennium does not come, | would answer,
because Christians will not let it come
God will never impress upon the heather
world the image which the Church now pre-
sents." But we now begin to hope the
Church is getting up to higher standard of
spirituality, and the next generation will be
ahead of this. And we hope and believe
the mission churches after proper training
will be an Improvement upon the old stock.
Our ardent brethren abroad should see to it
that every converted child vii! shine as a
light in the world. The evangelical prophet
Isaiah in speaking of that glorious day says,
f" There shall be no more thence an infant of
days, nor an old man that hath not filled his
days: for the child shall die an hundred
years old" SENEx.

The Prayer Meeting.

Make the prayer-meeting more attractive,
more interesting. People wiH go where there
is life and power. Many of our prayer meet
ings are dull and cold, with little to attract
andssinterest. A prayer-meeting needs va
riety. In some churches the same brethren
offer substantially the same prayer from one
years end to the other, and in about the
same order. If speaking is introduced, the
same brethren speak. There is no variety.
Now, we are thankful for these faithful vete-
rams though We do wish they would some
times get such a baptism as to forget their
old prayers and launch out into new felds);
but let us try and introduce some new blood.
Theressis wonderful charm in variety. God
has implanted this love of change in the hu-
man heart. The face of nature is ever
changing. Even spring would lose her
charms if she never gave way to summer.
We want fruit and harvests as we'll as bios
SONS and flowers. If the tongues long 81
lent and the voices now still were to break
forth in the prayer and testimony, in re-
sponse and praise, our pr kting would
soon present b5as but Few few emp! s.
Brevity is another characteristic of a
good prayer meeting. As rule our prayers,
our hymne, and our remarks are all too long.
Better for five persons to pray two minutes
EACH than for one brother or sister to pray
ten minutes. Better to sing six times sim
gle verse at time, than to sing six verses in
succession. Brevity refreshes and rests,
whilst excessive length wearies and repels.
We can all feel for the brother who was
prayed into good state of mind, and then
prayed ont Of 1t.
Freedom should characterize the prayer.
meeting. Let all be encouraged to take
part. Let each be free to exercise his pc
culiar gifts. Let praise, prayer, and testi
mony follow in sweet and quick succession

How to Keep the Sabbath.

1. We should not make it a gloomy day.
An honest effort to keep it holy, is liable thus
to degeneration. Being conscious of sin
men find it not always easy to avoid an as
sociation of sadness with whatever brings
God near to them. But surely those whose
sins are pardoned may be delivered from this
natural tendency. The Christian Sabbath
offers to Christian hearts the privilege, and
favorable opportunity of access to God, not
in terrors of His holiness, but in the plenti-
tude of His grace, which Christ has made
consistent with His holiness Christ having
died and risen again, coming forth from the
sepulchre "radiant in immortal bloom" our
triumphant champion, our glorious deliverer,
ready to ascend and lead our way into the
heavenly mansions, which he claims as his
own, is the principal object of contemplation
on His own day" the Lords day" We
should cultivate the habit of directing our
minds to cheerful viewS-to the privileges,
the joys, the blessed and glorious hopes of
Christianity, on this day. Thus We make it
truly day of rest.
2 Still we should carefully preserve its
sacredness. The effort to make the day
cheerful quite as easily degenerates into
levity, as the effort to keep it holy into
gloomy austerity. This difficulty diminishes
with every increase of spirituality. The
nearer to God we live, the more free we be-
come from carnal dispositions; the more
heavenly minded we become, just so much
less liable do we become TO seek pleasure in
what is earthly, and 80 much more suscepti.
Bile to spiritual and sabbatic JOY. Oar eff.
fort should not be the mere negative one, to
restrain ourselves; there should be positive
planning and arrangement to keep ourselve;
occupied with studies or exercises sufficiently
varied to prevent fatigue, and pleasantly and
usefully engaging our minde.-Pres5yterian

TICKLING.

notice from recent number of the Gen.
trail Methodist an article over the signature
of Rev. W. H. Fl. Ditzler. 1t is in refer
ence to the habit our ministers and laymen
have fallen into of "tickling" each other. 1t
has come to that, that we can scarcely no.
tice an account of revival or protracted
meeting without finding the writer devote
large share of his space to the eulogy and
glorifcation Of some minister who had as.
sisted him in carrying ON the meeting. l
doubt not many Of your readers, as well as
the readers of our church papers generally,
have often been disgusted with such fulsome
aduation. How common is it to say: The
minister preached number of "inimitable
sermons" "superb," "a head and shoulders
taller than any man in the Conference, etc.
And as Conference approaches, and revi-
sion of the work is soon to be made by the
Bishop and his cabinet, such phrases as this
may be heard (: "Our beloved presiding ell
der was with us, and maintained the high
reputation he SO justly enjoys as pulpit
orator of the highest rank, and unsurpassed
in eloquence and delivery" Such plaster
ing, just little prior to the meeting of the
Annual Conference, has very suspicious
air about it. 1t is unnecessary to extend
these remarks, as this feature of ministerial
correspondence has been noticed by intelli
gent readers generally. The writer first no
ticed it a few years since in the church pa
pers of another denomination, where it is
still carried on, doubtless, to the great graft
fcation of all the parties concerned.-Ob.
seruer, IN the Nashville Christian AdvOcate.
Upon reading the above the following
lines were penned
TICKLING.
'Tis true, one great man may tickle another,
But you little men shouldn't tickle brother
Not every one knows how such tickling to do,
And 'tisn't becoming in small folks like you
What does it matter if you're never heard of?
IT'S the man of renown the world must have word
of;
If still you're unknown, tisn't needful to know
you
To be doubly obscure is the lesson we'd show you.
Let us be mum, then, my brother not famous;
If we praise when we shouldn't, our betters may
blame US.
The lion, you know, claims more shares than one,
And the strong must be feasted, though their weak
kin get none.
Now tickling's an art of mastery skill,
A craft that's peculiar to knights of the quill;
Each tickler is tickled with consummate cummings
Outsiders needn't know how the currents are run

REVELATION OF THE JUST JUDGMENT OF
GoD.-And thus it would be to all, were it
not that it is also the revelation of Jesus
Christ; therefore it is day of grace, all

if he be glorious, they shall not be inglori-
GUS and ashamed Indeed, were our secret
sins then to be set before our own eyes in
their most affrightful vissge, and to be set
open to the view of angels and men, and to
the eye of divine justice, and we left alone
so revealed, who is there that could gather
any comfort and would not rather have their
thoughts filled with horror at the remem-
brance and expectation of that day? And
thus, indeed, all unbeieying and ungodly
men may look upon it and find it terrible;
but to those who are shadowed under the
robe of righteous jesus, yea, who are made
one with him and shall partake of his glory
"in his appearing" it is the sweetest, the
most comfortable thought that their souls
can be entertained and possessed withal, to
remember the glorious revelation of their
Redeemer.-Leighton.

6. RESULTS.
1t is believed that many Christians have
been edited and quickened in the divine life
and that goodly number of souls have, by
Gods grace and power, been born into the
kingdom. In some of our churches special
scenes of revival have been enjoyed-some-
times in the use of special services, and some
times by Gods blessing upon the regular and
ordinary services.
There are diversities of operations by the
same Spirit. We are to labor and pray with
the faith of expectation. We are to labor,
pray, and look for genuine conversions to
God, and healthhful growth in evangelical
piety. In 80 far as these great and glorious
results have been in any measure realized,
let US give to God all the glory. Let it be
our time Of renewed and unreserved conse
Grafton to God; and let US 60 forward from
this holy and happy convocation, not content
