PRACTICAL PIETY.

[Ongnal
PRACTICAL PIETY.
The Christian world is divided and subdi-
vided into vast multitude of sects and de-
nominations. Some say, like the Corinthian
church of old, that they are of Paul, others
claim to be of Apollos, whilst another class
say they are of Cephas This state of things
is to be deplored. 1t is pity that the house.
hold of Jesus has been divided. 1t gives
the enemy occasion to speak disparagingly
concerning the great plan of salvation. Not
withstandiug ali the divisions that exist in
the church of God, and the seeming opposition
between the creeds of Christians, there is real.
ly not as much actual difference amongst
Gods people as might be expected. The
practical piety Of all truly godly men is the
same all over Christendom. Not only 80, but
the Christian experience of all Christians is
the same Those who follow Jesus never
differ about vital godliness, however much
they may wrangle about creeds. Such being
the case, how much more becoming would it
be in Christians who differ in creeds to agree
to disagree on these minor points since they
are one in all the essentials.

WALKING WITH JESUS.

Children, let us walk with Jesus,
Walk beside Him hand in hand,
Let our light shine bright and brighter
As we near the heavenly land
Let our words be kind and gentle,
Let our words be always true,
For the Saviour watches DER us,
Knowing all we say or do.
If we now remember Jesus,
If we strive to walk with Him,
He will walk with us and lead us,
When our eyes are old and dim;
He will guide us safely, sweetly
To our rest beyond the skies,
Where no wave Of grief can touch us,
Where no flower Of beauty dies.

TAKE HEED.

"Wherefore let him that thinketh he stand
eth take heed lest he fall" Cor. 10: IL.
The advice contained in these few words
should be carefully memorized by US all and
reduced to daily practice. We are all liable
to come to the conclusion that we are stand
ing on sure foundation, and that it matters
not who may fall, we are safe. The most of
US have far more confidence in our own power
to resist temptation than we have in the blood
of Jesus to save US. We are prone to think
we are standing and in danger of falling
When we hear of some one in an evil hour
falling into some sin, we say to ourselves, eff
that individual had done as do, he would
not have been overtaken in fault"
No small number of the human family
feel confident that they will never be the per-
petrators of vast multitude of transgressions.
They feel that they are above doing some
things To be guilty of some things they
think is beneath their dignity. They are
ready to say, cam I dog that would do
such things" So thought one of old. He
trusted to his own strength, and was the per-
petrator of crimes too abominable to mention.
"When am weak am strong, and when 1
am strong am weak" is the deliberate con-
clusion of an inspired Apostle. To say that
when we are weak we are strong, and when
we are strong we are weak, is seeming con-
tradiction The Apostle means that when he
was weak in himself, and had great conf
dence in the Lord, then he was strong but
when he had little confidence in God, and
relied much upon himself, then he was really
weak. Whenever we think we stand we
never think of asking God not to lead US into
emptation, and then is the time we are beset
on the right hand and on the left and fall an
easy prey to the devil the world and the flesh.
The strength of the good man consists in
constant distrust of self, and an unwavering
reliance upon the redeeming, regenerating
aud sanctifyiug grace of God. 1t is this that
makes the good man. He that relies upon
himselfis self-deceived, and is liable at any
moment to commit the most abominable SINS
Many poor mortal has been covered with
infamy and shame by thinking he was stand
ing, when in reality he was falling head'long
into sin and shame.

He KNEW HIS AGE.-Iu the times when
the political warfare between Wings and
Democrats waxed hot and relentless there
was a town out west in which the two parties
were so equal in numbers that the variation of
single vote, one way or the other, might be
matter of most serious consequence. Of
course on both sides sharp eyes were open
and watchful. A youpg man came to the
polling place on election day and offered his
vote. 1t was his first appearance in the
character of an elector, and he had the inde-
pendence or audacity to differ politically with
his father. His father challenged his vote.
"On what grounds ?" demanded the pre-
siding officer.
"He amt twenty-one."
II am twenty-one." asserted the youth.
"No you amt" persisted the father; "you
won't be twenty -one till to morrow"
81 say I will" cried the youth. 81 was
horn on the 18th day of November. It's
down so in the old Bible"
"Then it's a dod-rotted mistake" said the
old man. "You weren't born till the morn
ing of the 18th of November, I can swear. u
How can you swear?'
"How ?" repeated the father, Indignantly.
"Goodness gracious! wasn't thar"
SWELL" returned the son, with proud de,
finance, wasn't 1 there too?'
The young man voted.-Boston Courier.

cloth two holes, within half an inch of each

WHATTHE PREsBYTERY DID FOR ADAM
Of all the freaks of the telegraph, this one is
the most laughable: A young man, when
about to start for his new parish, was unex

bytery to ordain him. In order to explain
his non.arrival at the appointed time, he Sent
the following telegram to the deacons o.
the church: "Presbytery lacked quorum te
ordain." In the course of its journey the mes
sage got strangely metamorphosed, and ii
reached the astonished deacons in this shape
"Presbytery tackled worm on to Adam
