but he has never done it immediately. That
is beautiful word, neutrality-suspicious.

out that that we have one-a great and pre-

How Jesus Draws Men

DR.. Payson once, in the process Of re
vival at Portland, gave notice that he would
be glad to see any young person who did not
intend to seek religion. Any one would be
surprised to hear that about thirty or forty
came. He spent very pleasant interview
with them, saying nothing about religion till,
Just as they were about to leave, he closed a
few very plain remarks thus" Suppose
you should see coming down from heaven a
very fine thread, SO fine as to be almost in-
visible, and it should come and gently attach
itself to you. You knew, we suppose, it came
from God. Should you dare to put out your
hand and thrust it away? Now such thread
has come from God to you this afternoon
You do not feel, you say, any interest in re-
ligion. But by your coming here this after
noon God has fastened one little thread upon
you all. 1t is very weak and frail, and you
can easily brush it away. But will you do
so No; welcome it, and it will enlarge
and strengthen itself untilit becomes gold.

The Everlasting Gospel.

It'll "eternal redemption" that is provided
for us by the Goldman Redeemer. So the
Gospel or good news concerning this is called
everlasting" And to this the Apostle
Peter refers when, contracting the withering
grass with the enduring word, he aays:-
"But the word of the Lord endureth forever;
and this is the word which, by the Gospel, is
preached unto you" Il Peter i: 25.)
1t is not the Gospel of one age, but the
Gospel of every age everlasting. 1t is not
the Gospel of the past age, nor of the pre-
sent age, nor of the age to come, but the
Gospel of all ages-everlasting.
1t is not Gospel whose good news ebbs
and flows, darkens and brightens, alternately.
1t abides the same--for it is good news of
the grace of Him with whom there is no va
rableness, who is the same yesterday, to-day,
and forever. Our changes cannot affect the
Gospel, just as they cannot affect Him, or
make Him less loving, less gracious, less for
giving.
1t is Gospel that will carry us through
the gloom and weariness of our pilgrimage,
even to the end it is Gospel that will abide
with us through eternity; for it is the ever
lasting Gospel, and all its blessings are, like
itself, everlasting" Everlasting life is the
sure portion of the believing sinner.

Romanism and American Institutions.

Many Protestants are unwilling to believe
there is complete antagonism between the
two. Events in Europe and in this country
are doing much to open eyes that were blind.
The following remarks from The Nation,
one Of the most discreet, and one of the best
conducted papers in the land, give food for
reflection
"It must not be forgotten that the Pro
testant Church is body of sects, without
fxity Of organization or discipline or pur-
pose, or doctrine-part of the State, and
blended with the State 10 a thousand ways,
and changing in beliefs and composition from
generation to generation; while the Catho
lie Church is vast machine, belonging to no
country, submitting itself to no authority,
asserting itself against all authority, and
served by body Of ecclesiastics who have
severed all earthly ties in order to serve it
more effectually, and who are governed by
orders more completely than any army and
that its policy, and designs, and motives are
yelled in the strictest secresy, and that no
pledge or promise Of any of its agents can
bind or conclude it in any manner. The
duty of the State towards these agents is
therefore plain, and settled by much expe-
rience, and that is, to legislate exactly as
the secular interests may seem to require,
but to make no agreements or treatises with
them, and to be affected by no concessions
or compromises they may offer, and not to
be frightened by any use they may make of
such phrases as religious liberty or equal
rights The policy to which they have ad-
hered for ages is to ask for everything, in
cluding the government of the country by
an archbishop, but to take what they can
get, and always after rebuff to play the
martyr, and, when further gains are hope
LESS, to settle down cheerfully until the pub
lie irritation has subsided, and then try
again. The bishops and priests die, and
come and 60, but whoever they are, and
whatever they may say, we know that they
do and must believe the whole of our politi-
cal and social fabric, our government, our
marriage, our education, our religion and
manners, to be q monstrous and beastly re-
volt against God and his ministers. Any
priest who processes he does not so regard
them may be doing his duty, but any Ameri-
can voter who is led into carelessness or indul-
gence by these professions is not doing his
duty. No Church occupies or can occupy
the same relation to the State as the Roman
Church, and it may therefore be properly
made the object of extraordinary vigilance
ana distrust."

deacons would devise for giving them effect.
The same separation of the purse and the
keys, which DR.. Thornwell finds made in the
word of God, could very easily be made in
the workings of Synods and PresbyterleS also.
But whatever may be done by the higher
courts to give effect to some such plan as
DR.. Thornwell's, for getting rid OF the trou-
blesome questions of finance, we long to see
this divine system carried into effect in our
congregations at least There is no constl-
tutional barrier in the way of immediate ac'
tion. The law expressly allows and sane
tions it. The General Assembly, by adopt
ing the Book of Church Order, has thrown
all the weight of its authority in that direc-
tion. We are sure that such step is sane
toned by Gods word, and that infinitely
outweighs all else. We devoutly wish to
see all the friction which human use of it
produces in our divinely contrived machin-
cry, eliminated, and church work simplifed
by wise division of labor" the things" to
the deacons, "ths persons" to the elders,
the "ministry of the word" to the preachers.
We shall then expect to see some such re-
suits as followed the first introduction of the
diaconate by the apostles. DIR. Addison
in his Commentary on Acts,
thus speaks of it:
"To prepare the way for the extension of
the Church, difference is permitted to arise
within it ~ in consequence of which the
twelve assemble the disciples (2,) and pro-
pose cure for the existing evil q, A. which
is accordingly applied by the appointment of
seven men to dispense the charities of the
church Is, g. A great addition, from the
most important class of Jews, ensues upon
this measure. az (See summary of con-
tents for Chap. VIZ

81 Have Set the Lord Always Before Me-

1t adds not little to the impressiveness
of these words to recognize them as put by
ancient prophecy into the lips of our blessed
Redeemer himself. In that application, how
perfectly they describe the nature of His
obedience, and the support he received from
constant sense of His Fathers presence
and love But if Christ could use this Ian
guage in the expression of His official subor-
dination, how much more His people And
yet it is no slight declaration, that we "have
set our Lord always before u.s."
It imparts constant recognition Of the
Diuine authority and rule. 1t is not enough
to think of God as an abstraction-as
mere power, the sum of all the forces in the
uuiverSe-as philosophical necessity, with
out which we cannot account for the exis-
tence of anything. He must be more to US
than first cause, or the sum of all being
He must stand before our thoughts in the
distinctness of His personality, and in clear
ly defined moral relations to ourselves
This alone gives a sense of sin; without
which the law is a dead letter. But when
the conviction of Gods personal presence,
and of His rightful authority, rests upon the
soul, we are restrained from sin by the SOL
emn awe which falls upon US like the shadow
of His majesty.
II implies the conservation Of our whole
life and of each single action, as obedience to
God. Men fatter themselves, if their actions
only be right as to the matter or substance
of them. 1t. should be remembered that
they are not acts of obedience, unless per-
formed in Difference to the Divine authority.
AS life is made up of successive moments
bound together in continuous glow, SO this
principle of conservation to God must be the
nerus between all the single acts of obedi
ence.
It invOlues trusttul acquiescence of Gods
providential protection and care. The assur.
ance that He is at our right hand is the only
talisman we need in the journey of life. Il
explains all the contradictions of Christian
experience-strength in weakness, comfort ii
tribulation, rest in toll, joy in sorrow, anc
triumph in defeat
The language especially points to GOd
covenant relations with as, as Father ana
Redeemer. 1t is only when viewed in Christ
not imputing our trespasses to US, that HI
ceases to be our fear and our dread. Blu
when He draws nigh to US in these tende
relations of grace, we rejoice in Him Al
the everlasting portion of the SOUL "Whou
have we in heaven but Thee and there i
none upon earth that we desire beside Thee.

Easy Religion.

1t is not to be denied or overlooked that
there is a prevailing tendency in many of
our popular and fashionable city and coun-
try churches, to favor and advocate loose
and easy going religion among Christians, as
we'll as among ministers, especially among
young Christians.
Three months ago, one of the most intel
ligent, clear-headed professional men in the
country, not himself professor of religion,
said to me, in a conversation on the impor-
tance and reality of religion: "If there is
any thing in this world that tempts me to
disbelieve the whole thing, it is when | see
men profess to be conVerted--covenant to
labor for Christ, and His cause forever
come to the communion and take the body
and blood of the cruc6ed Saviour in their
hands and hps-and then in three months
after see those same persons playing cards
at whist parties, dancing at public balls, fire.
quenting operas and theatres, and all man.
ner of vain worldly amuSements 1t looks
to me like consummate hypocrisy, and am
tempted to think the whole thing delusion J"
cannot wonder at it. What slur upon
Christianity, that there is nothing in it to in
terest, delight, and satisfy the soul! Must
the young Christian be without joy, pleasure,
and happiness, only as he seeks them over
in the green fields of vain and worldly amuse-
ments?
Said DR.. Cuyler, "You cannot grow
healthy, young Christians, in the foul air Of
social dissipation Midnight parties, operas,
Germans, and whist clubs, do not suit Christ's
plants of grace, any better than Labrador
ice fields suit orange trees. A Christian
cannot keep all the habits of a wOrldling
without killing his piety. Come out and be
separate, means something more than to take
the communion seat half dozen times a
year"
If there is setting in upon our churches
strong prevalent current towards an easy
going religion-a tendency to favor and prac
tice vain, dissipating amusements, which lead
away from Christ; the true demand of the
pews upon the pulpit is, that it shall bt
awake to that fact--shall speak, and preach
if need be against these things, though they
seem to be little matters, and though some
NAV be offended by it-for the watchmar
must warn the flock against present dangers
and present forms of worldly conformity, ant
departures from God-though he may find
in faithfully doing SO, that the offence of tn
) cross has not yet ceased.

GROWING OLD.

Softly, oh sofsly, the years have swept by thee,
Touching thee lightly with tenderest care;
Sorrow and death cid they often bring nigh thee,
Yet they have left thee but beauty to wear.
Growing old gracefully,
Gracefully fair.
Far from the storms that are lashing the ocean,
Nearer each day to the pleasant hOme'hghti
Far from the waves that are big with commoton,
Under full sail, and the harbOr in sight.
Growing old cheerfully,
Cheerful and bright.
Past all the winds that were adverse and chilling,
Past all the islands that lured thee to rest
Past all the currents that wooed thee unwilling
Far from the port aud the land Of the blest.
Growing old peacefully,
Peaceful and blest.
Never feeling Of envy or sorrow
When the bright faces OF children are seen;
Never year from their youth wouldst thou borrow
Thou dost remember what heth between.
Growing old willingly,
Gladly, ween.
Rich in experiences that angels might e0Set,
Rich in faith that has grown with thy years,
Rich in the love that grew from and aboveit
Soothing thy sorrows and hushng thy fears,
Growing old wealthily,
Loving aud dear.
Hearts at the sound Of thy coming are hghtened;
Ready and willing thy hand TO relieve;
Many a face a. thy kind words has frightened
1T is more blessed to give than receive
Growing old happily,
Blest, we believe.
Eyes that grow dim to the earth and its glory
See but the brighter the heavenly gowl
Ears that aIe dull to the world and its story
Drink in the songs that from Paradise flows
All their sweet reeompense
Youth cannot know.
Fourscore But softly the years have swept by thee,
Touching thee lightly, with tenderest care;
Sorrow and death they did often bring nigh thee
Yet they have left thee but beauty to wear.
Growing old gracefully,
Graceful and fair.

ceives the token. This is, and has been the
rule for gathering in heads of families and
other adults who have been aliens from God g
commonwealth. But this is only a part
of the means for perpetuating the Church.
The covenant law demands that this adults
next act shall be, the administration OF the
covenant token to his infant seed. The pa
rent believing, the token at once becomes MS
child's birthright. 1t is no objection that
circumcision, the first token given, was ap-
piled only to males. The man, represented
the family then, and acted for all. But the
Patriarchal dispensation is gone. And now,
Christ being come, He only stands as Priest
in His house. All of His people are one in
Him. Hence when, in Gal. iii, Paul argues
the privileges to Gentiles from the gospel
preached unto Abraham, he states as the
principle now ruling: "There is neither
Jew nor Greek; there is neither bond nor
free !; there is neither male nor female; tor
ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And If ye
be Christs, then are ye Abraham's seed, and
heirs according to the promise" He has
spoken Verse 81 of being "baptized into
Christ in this very connection. But the
infant has not yet put on Christ, though bap-
tied" some may say. And neither did the
circumcised infant exercise faith. The cir
cumcision of the flesh must in due time be
followed by " circumcision of the heart. =
So baptism of the flesh must be followed by
baptism of the heart, ere the full significance
of the token is reached. Rom. ii: 90, 20,
GAL v: 6, vi: Is, Col. ii: IL. Paul also
shows (Gal. iii: %, 29) why the master does
not baptize his servants. The adult servant
is the head of his own family and must act
in the faith for his own seed, as the master
does. No man stands now as the Patri-
archal representative of all in his household
who are not of his own flesh. But such
changes can no more change the covenant
than the law dispensati9n did. The New
Testament does show US the extension of COZ
snGnt privileges. But 1t nOaChsre shO'0s any
change or repeal of the cOvsnant. There
fore infants of Gods people retain as many,
ito say the least, church privileges now, as
that covenant gave to infants in any for
mer period. And Gods church must still
have its culture in the family. Thus it is
preserved, and thus it grows best.
