/ Have Set the Lord Always Before Me.

IL adds not little to the impressiyeness 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 n constant sense of His Fathers pres
ence and love But if Christ could use this
language in the expression of His official
subordination, how much more His people
Aud vet it is no slight declaration, that we
have set our Lord always before us"
1t implies constant recognition of di-
vine authority and rule. II is not enough to
think of God as an abstraction-as mere
power, the sum Of all the forces in the uni
verse-as philosophical necessity, without
which we cannot account for the existence
of everything. lie must be more to us than
first cause, or the sum of all being. lie
must stand before our thoughts in the dis
tinctness OF His personality, and IN clearly
defined moral relations to ourselves. inns
alone gives a sense of sin, without which
the law is dead letter. But when the con.
viction of Gods personal presence, and OF
His rightful authority, rests upon the soul,
we ara restrained from sin by the solemn
awe which falls upon us like the shadow oi
His majesty
1t implies the conservation Of our whole
life and of each single action, as obedience
to God. Men fatter themselves, II their ac-
tions only be right as to the matter or sub
stance OF them. 1t should be remarked that
they are not acts of obedience unless per-
formed in Difference to the divine authority.
As life is made up of the successive mo-
ments bound together in the continual glow,
so this principle of conservation TO God must

Seven Ways OF Giving.

One way is to give something TO every
cause that is presented, without inquiring
into its merits This careless way, but
better than none,
A second way is 10 give from impulse, as
much and as often as love and pity prompt.
This is adapted TO those OF the rich who are
kind-hearted.
A third way is TO save the cost of luNu-
ries, and apply them to purposes OF religion
and charity. This is for the self-indulgent
With the frugal it is apt to be accompanied
by narrowness, ascetism, and pride in good
works.
A fourth way is to make special effort to
earn money for the benevolent objects. This
is for lazy people.
fifth way is TO lay aside. as an offering
to God, definite portion of our gains one
tenth, one-ffth one-third, or one-half This
way is adapted to all, but especially TO the
psnurious, economical, the hard-working, the
extrayagant and the poor, whose gifts would
be largely increased il it was generally prac-
ticed.
sixth way is to give to God and the
needy Just as much as we spend on ourselves.
A seventh way is to limit our own expendi-
lures 10 a certain sum, and give away all the
rest of our income. This was John Wes-
ley's way.
We should not confine ourselves TO one
way of giving, but practice, and teach our
children, different modes, each in its proper
place, as occasion requires. Presbyterian al

Take the case Of the Freedmen in the
South, for illustration. Here is race which
came TO their freedom in the confusion Of
battle, but without houses or lands, or cattle
or money, or wealth of any kind. Hence
they needed everything, and they needed it
all at once. Philanthropy and Christianity
alike were moved in their behalf. We have
been called TO the front TO aid in the work
Of physical relief as well as in the work OF
mental aud moral instruction.
And then let it be remembered that even
these institutions which we have planted
are dependent on current contributions from
the churches, and so liable at any moment
to be embarrassed for lack Of funds, and com
PEELED TO close their doors against these
eager youth.
Here, now, is an opportunity to invest IN
a work as appealing and rewarding a. any
in the land. This race needs permanent ed
ucational and religious institutions more
than any othor portion of our people. The
men who have the wisdom TO found these
will commit their names 10 future which
will brighten them with the passing years.
Young men and women must be educated
by thousands for Christian labor in this
country and In Africa. Those who provide
the requisite facilities for this work will be
most fortunate, and improve an opportunity
for usefulness such as rarely comes 10 man.

What to Do with Surplus Wealth.

We happen to know a number of Chris
tian men to whom God has given large
means, who are anxiously inquiring what
they shall do with it, as stewards OF the
manifold grace OF God. The question Is not
an easy one to answer. And II is all the
more difficult on account of the many sub
ordinate questions which it involves, as, for
example, what is a reasonable amount OF
property 10 accumulate; how much is 1t
proper to spend on ones family; how large
an estate is it wise and right to leave TO
ones children Questions like these per-
plsx, and sometimes torment aserious mind
And yet we believe that those who have es-
tates or incomes far beyond any present or
prospective needs Of themselves or their
families, will be guided into right DISPOSE
ton of them, If they oonscientiously seek
the light. 1t is every mans right, and his
duty, II he is able, TO provide for his house
hold but having done that, he owes his sur
plus wealth TO the needy outside. For what
else is superabundance given TO men, and In
what other way can it be made blessing,
either 10 the possessor, or the receiver
The good Samaritan finds his neighbors In
the suffering and the perishing, wherever he
meets them.

would make eight dollars in all, aud have
but three dollars left, aud you see that
would not much more than pay for one

particularly anxious.
"No," said mater, decidedly. ats a good

on one side, so as to fit on the window cas-
