Dod.'
What commentary on poor human
nature! How prone we are to give
broken things to God How the old
Jews set us the example! How they
would persist in bringing the MANNED
and the halt and the blind for sacrifice,
when God demanded the spotless and
the unblemished. In one of our secus
lar papers, not long since, We saw the
statement that the deacons of a certain
church out West usually spent largo
part of Monday mending the broken
scrip which was put into the contribu :
ton box on Sunday. No doubt the
statement was exaggerated. But we
question if there was ever church
treasurer who did not have consider
able of such work to do. And some
times the scrip aforesaid is not only
broken, but not even worth NEEDING
1t is counterfeit
Given broken things to God! What
multitudes of impenitent sinners are
doing it or purposing to do it! 'Give
me thine heart, says God. Give it
now. Give it in youth. Give it in
manhood. Give your best days, your
best strength, your best services, your
best powers of mind and body to
God.
/ But no, not now, is the response.
Wait-wait till old age comes-till
sinful indulgences no longer exhilerate
Wait till death stares me in the face.
Then III give myself to God then
wher l am broken, and helpless, and
useless. Oh, for shame!
Dear reader, don't give broken
things to God-that is, with one 'ex-
ception. There is one broken thing
which God calls for and will never re-
fuse. 1t is broken heart. Give him
that, but let all your other offerings be
sound and wholesome. -Neao York
Observer.

THE CAPTAIN AND The JEW.

A pious sailor went as one OF the
crew of passenger steamer down the
river to the sea. Over the ocean hung
a heavy, threatening fog. They went
forward into it. Near the chimney a
youth vas shivering, evidently in great
anxiety. After while he asked a
sailor:
''Shall we have a storm ?" 81 '.t
do not allow yourself to be anxious
since the Lord knows in what condition
we are; and, like father pitieth his
children, so the Lord piteth them that
fear him
With these words he turned away to
work. Years passed and the sailor had
become captain. On one of his
voyages a well-dressed gentleman drew
near him, with the question:
"Shall we have good voyage cap
tain p
THAT, no captain can tell, but He
who holds the water in the hollow of
his hands, and measures the heaven
with span."
''Thanks, captain; it delights me to
hear YOU come quickly to the main
point, You remind me of sailor who
spoke encouragingly to me on my first
voyage"
"What did he say?"
81 was terrified at the rough waves,
and he said to me, Like as a father
pitieth his children, so the Lord pitch
them that fear him. l was then Jew
SO the text was not unknown to me;
but could not call God my Father
Yet the sailor was, I plainly felt, quiet
and happy us child on his fathers
knee. First, l wondered what could
give a man such confidence; then
prayed and sought for it, and am now
Christian and a missionary to my own
people. Let me give you my card.
GLOW long is it since you were on
the high seas?'
Seventeen years.
''Would you know the sailor, if you
saw him?'
''Oh certainly; I have thought of him
so often"
'He stands before you now
''lmpossible, captain! He was a
common sailor"
sis not yours more remarkable
change? You were Jew, and are now
Christian and missionary. Why,
then. In seventeen Yeas time should
not sailor become captain?"

When thunderclouds hang black in May,
Cool drops refresh the weary day
To man, in chiidhood's short-lived grief,
Fast flowing tears bring sweet grief
The clouds that come in winters train
Drop snow instead of tender rain,
And duier grief can find no tears,
To melt the ice of older years.
