Revival or Ruin.

While a pastor in a Southern State, we
we're sent by Presbytery to visit little
church under the hammer for debt, and to
urge the people, who had sunk into sullen
indifference, to rally and relieve themselves.
When they had several times paid their debt,
as they thought, some unheard-of claim would
turn up, and this last one one utterly de
moralized them. We called them together,
argued the case, expostulated by all motives
that we could command from man and God.
We then encoursg ed them by telling what
they had already done, and could do, for
God, for themselves, their children, and the
world. We tried "the tender" upon them,
TO which some responded by tears, and 9th
ers by loud responses from their nasal or
CANS, and thinking them quite mellow, We
called on them to stay after benediction, and
we would clear the debt. But to our utter
amazement, every one left Only the col
ored sexton and' the preacher remained to
tell the story. After the last one had de-
parted, Caesar solemnly closed the door, as
if it had been a gate into graveyard, and
came and sat dowl by US at the stove, as
solemn as if looking for the first time into
his own grave, to whom we said, "Well,
Caesar, what do you think of iii" "Wel',
master, it pears to me it's revival or ruin
with ds in dis church" We took that sug-
gestion, for we have heard no one in our life
so pregnant with truth, and ac,ed upon it
then, and in like circumstances, ever since
We commenced preaching three times day.
We preached faith and repentance, as if
every member of that church was lost, until
the Spirit of God moved upon their hearts,
and they were all converted again--heads,
hearts, hands, feet, eyes. ears, and pockets;
and then we left, not saying word about
the debt. Within two weeks the debt was
paid. We have followed this alternative,
revival or ruin, as policy ever since, and
have gotten thousands by it; indeed, we do
not know any other way to get money; and
it seems to US that it is now the only alter
native with the Church-yeUiUal or rum.

The Broken Toys.

1t is now only three or four weeks after
the holidays. end yet the most OF the toys
that made their appearance on Christmas
morning have been mutilated beyond repair.
You find scattered in different parts of the
house the ears and eyes and feet and tails of
horses, the wagons broken down and demol-
ished. The jumpingjack has lost its agility,
the dog It's bark, the tOol-chest its hammer,
the acrobat has taken its last swing, and the
doll refuses to shut its eyes when it goes to
sleep. What was the use of spending so
much money for toys to be destroyed so
soon ? We answer: They fulfilled their mis-
sion, and it was time for them to cease
They went into the exuberant life of the
child, and viii break forth in the laughter of
the next thirty years. Anything done for
the child is done for the adult. You can see
in the looks of man at forty years of age
whether or not he had playful childhood
We think the little ones will do better in life
for the back ground of hobby-hOrses and
kites. Say not "There is no use in prOvid-
ing toys for entertaining my children. l
will give them something more permanent. "
Dear msdams and sirs, forty years after you
are dead the glee and sportfulness will be
blOssoming in the cheerful disposition of your
children and grandchildren. - Christian at
Work.

To the above can be added the present

To the above can be added the present
value of my flock, which is about equal to
the original cost. l would have realized a
much larger profit had the seasons been pro-
pitious. The result of carelessness is fully
shown by the fact that only 81 OF flock OF
108 ewes had lambs.
/ made no estimate for grass and fodder
consumed, because I estimate that the ma
nure, destruction of briers, blue thistles, &C.,
fully compensate me for fodder and grass. L
find that good old sods are essential to the
raising of early lambs. The remarkably
dry seasons of the last two years have rem
dered the old sods almost valueless. Smaller
lots of 80 or 40, will, think, pay better
per cent. than larger ones. One of my
neighbors raised 81 lambs from % ewes, and
realized higher price than l did. During
the last two years | lost no sheep by dogs.
Several of my neighbors have suffered severe
ly. One lost fifteen and another saved two
out of his entire flock. Before the last two
years I lost three or four every year, and
one year large number of lambs. In nine
years 1 have killed thirteen dogs in the act
of killing sheep. In conclusion let me say
that most earnestly hope that the present
General Assembly will give us the protection
which the citizens of this portion of Shenan.
doah SO much need, and by levying tax
upon dogs enable tax-ridden farmers to real
ize some profit upon their land.
Yours truly, j.

The Bearer of Burdens.

There were three men walking up steep
hill, each very tired, with heavy burden on
his back. Then there stepped up to them a
strong, kind man, who said to them, " Let
me take your burdens; | will carry them for
you" But the first man said, " l have no
burden" for he had carried his burden so
long that it seemed like his clothes, or like
part of his body, so that he did not feel 1t,
and did not know how much better he could
walk without it. So the first man would not
have his burden touched
The second man was very selfish and IN
kind himself, and he thought all other peO-
pie must be selfish and unkind, so he said,
" you want to play me some trick; L DO not
believe you want to carry my burden; will
not let you touch it.
The third man was very tired indeed, and
was saying to himself, 90, who can help
me for feel that cannot carry this ter
rible weight any further" and when he felt
the stranger touch him on the shoulder, and
offer to take his burden, be said at once, " 1t
is very kind of you; | am very thankful (;
please take it, for see you can bear 1t, and
i cannot.
The strong man is Jesus. The burden
is sin.
If we do not feel our sin, Jesus cannot
bear it for us.
If we do not trust in him, He cannot
bear it.
But if we are tired of our sins, and trust
in Jesus, he will take the terrible weight of
our sins away.-Para5les for Children.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1875-02-03
Why Are There Four Gospels

Because God designed to give us four dis
tinct views of the character of Christ.
In Matthew our blessed Saviour is por.
trayed to the Jews as "the Messiah that
should come" Here we have more quota
tons from the Old Testament than in any of
the other Gospels, and the fulfllment Of
prophecy is constantly referred to.
IN Mark. Jesus is presented as the "faith-
full servant" We find here no genealogy,
and never hear Him laying down in form the
principles of His Kingdom. His disciples
never address Him as Lord, and only once
do we hear Him appeal to God as His
Father, and that is when He is in the garden
of Gethsemane, and His day of service is
ended.
In Luke, our Lord is shown as the Son
of Man" We have his genealogy even be-
yond Abraham to Adam. While he is first
presented to the Jews, He also illustrates the
setting aside Of the Jewish system, and the
arrival of the time when "all flesh shall see
the salvation of Cod"
In John, Jesus the Christ is presented as
the Son of God. We have no genealogy,
but are carried back to the beginning, when
he was with God. He is represented as God
manifested in the flesh. In this Gospel
especially, we are made aware of the per-
sonal presence of the Holy Ghost.
In these four distinct portraitures of our
blessed L ,rd, we witness the beautiful wisdom
and loving condescensOn of our merciful
God, who, though clothed in the majesty of
Heaven, yet Stops to explain and adapt
himself to the foite comprehension and limi-
ted faculties of His creature, man.-Chris-
tan Treasury.

The Effect of a Wet Day.

A great outpouring from the clouds on
Sunday, fills riyulet, brook and stream, be-
fore winter lays upon them its icy letters,
but it does not help to fill the Lords trea-
sury. When collections are to be made on
such days, the keepers at home take care
to keep their money with them, and com
fort themselves, we fear, in the belief that
not to exercise the grace of giving, may be
an additional safeguard against taking cold.
The plates therefore, with the oblations and
offerings of rainy days might bear as an in
scription, Nal. iii. 8. or this "My ltanness,
my leanness, the dealers have dealt treach-
erously with me- Isaiah xiv. 16) How
easy wouldt be when We cannot fill our pew
on stormy day, to I'll an envelope with a
liberal gift for God, and send it to bis minis
teripg servant "That which is thus pre-
sented to God" says Hooker, " is neither
lost nor upfruitfnlly bestowed, but sauctifes
the whole mass and he, by receiving por-
ton, undertakes to bless all. in which con
sideration the Jews were accustomed to call
their tithes the hedge of their riches. =
Would that many who call themselves Chris
tians, exercised far greater diligence and lib
erality in building up this hedge both in fair
and foul weather.

Pay as You Go

Among the storms of winter, and especial
" a storm that seldom fails TO visit every To-
cality abount the first of January-is show
er of bills. How they come in--these great
snoWfakes-and they stick and stare at you
till they are paid, and they stick and stare
at YOU when they are paid. Among the
multitude of resolutions formed for the new
wear. there is no better one than resolve
TO pay as you 90. 1t seems passing strange
that the payment of debts should be lneul-
Gated upon protesting Christians, and yet is
there any evil habit 60 which Christian men
are more addicted than that of mourning
debt which they cannot discharge at ma
turity And the cause of this condition OF
things are many and multiform. Sometimes
it is the result of weak desire to 1--we IN
style beyond ones means. Ottentlmes 1t is
the result Of tdoUghtlessness, or q general
unTillingness to systematise ones expendi
lures. Often it proceeds from free heart
edness, and desire TO do for others, especl-
ally for the family, more than ones clrcum
stances admit; and not unfrequently 1t is
owing to spirit of extravaganza, which Is
a legitimate inheritance from father to son
But whatever the cause may be, as general
rule debt can Ee avoided and much unhap
piness saved. To do this, above all, firmly
resolve to live within your means, however
limited they may be; make no promises
which YOU have not reasonable certainty
of keeping be firm in applying whatever
money you may have on hand to the iqui
dat:on Of some debt il whole or IN part, and
above all avoid, so far as possible, contract
inc a future obligation wherewith to pay
present CHRISTIAN at Work.
