Rules-Wise and Unwise.

Some persons unwisely bring two rules
with them into the Church, which we do not
think work well, and for which the Church
does not thank them. It's not thought that
they are found in the Scriptures, but we're
found in the world and are suited to their
fancy The first rule is: "We must live
unto ourselves = aud the second rule: "We
must do as little as we please"
There is a strong prejudice in the Church
against them both and our Lords two rules
are preferred. The first is found Cor. v:
Is, "And that He died for all, that We
should henceforth live, not unto ourselves,
bat unto Hin who died fer u" The g.
cond seems to be an inference from Mark,
viii IA, "She hath done what she could"
These two Church rules are simple, bind
ing upon each member, and are full of mean
ing. The young adopting them, would be-
come eminently useful, honOred and loved;
and the whole Church doing the same, would
become power for good in the community.
1t would be we'll for some if they would learn
the secret of securing the love of our Lord
and also influence in the Church, and it lies
in these two rules.-,S. W. Presbyterian.

"Such as you Have"

"Silver and gold have l none" but we
must add, as he did, "such as have give |
thee"
This word of Peter makes the motto of
truly benefcent life, and rounds out the full
idea of social duty. Oar responsibility does
not extend to what we have not. No mat
ter how large and sovereign the need which
appeals to our charity, this response covers
the whole breadth of our obligation when we
can say with willing heart and ready hand,
"Such as l have give | thee" 1t is not
whether We have ten talents or one, that de-
termines the plaudit of the Judge at the last
The right and diligent use of the smallest
and humblest trusts will, as surely as the
same use of the largest, secure in that day

ing. Are you, my brother, one of these? If
so, can you tell why? Have you ever, as
member of the Church Of Jesus Christ, seri-
ousy and honestly considered for one short
half hour, the claim which this service Of the
church to which you belong has upon you?
If you have go considered this matter, and
your own conscience, alone in the presence
of God, justiGes your constant absence from
this meeting-much as we would love to see
you there-we would not, for the world, in
terfere in matter which has been consci-
entiousy considered between you and your
God. Some there are among US, who, for
various reasons, we know, cannot attend this
service. We think none theless of the piety
or Christian character Of such. The spirits
willing, bnt there are controlling circum-
stances which hinder. We would be glad if
all such would resolve to spend, as far as
possible, in private prayer, this consecrated
hour of the week which the church devotes to
social and public worship.
Our earnest aim, just now, is to induce
you, my Christian brother, to give this meet.
ing and your personal duty with regard to
it, your careful consideration. If you have
never really done this, we would with all
pastors affection and eolicitude for the well
fare of your immortal soul and the Church
which is SO dear to US all, beg you to do so
now."
"The wisdom and experience of Christ's
followers have long ago decided that this
spiritual lunch in the middle Of the week is
spiritual necessity to happy, healthful,
useful, growing Christian. In the precious
name of Jesus, through whom you hope, at
last to be presented faultless, think about
this. Can you not give this one short hour
in the middle of the week, to the social wor.
ship of Him who gives you your life and all
good things? We are living in the midst of
grand and awful times. These are called
"Hard Times" They are times that seem
to battle the wisdom of our wisest statesmen.
They are all, however, in the hand of God,
and call loudly upon all to turn unto Him
who alone can solve the problems that SO
distress and perplex the most thoughtful of
men, and who, when His people humble
themselves before Him, will hear and answer
the cry that rises out Of weakness and help
lessness."
"We would love to have you meet with US
to pray. IfyOu cannot pray in public, come
and sing. If you can neither pray nor sing
!; aloud, you can do both secretly, and thus
, help to spiritualize the atmosphere of the
hour. If you can do nothing else you can
at least give US the cheering encouragement
of your visible presence. That God may
help you to decide what it is best and right
for you to do. and that He may give you
grace, strength and courage to do your whole
duty, is the sincere prayer of your affection
st, naskor."

The Solemn League and Covenant.

The "Solemn League and Covenant !" vas
signed first at Greyfriars church, E linburgb,
February 28sh, 1888. 1t was the utterance
of people intensely in earnest; and believ-
ing every word to which they affixed their
names. The crowd was great-many wept
in the great excitement Of the hour, and
some wrote their names in blood. All Scot
land joined in the subscription, and it was
read before Parliament and the Westminster
Assembly Of Divines, and subscribed by the
members thereof. 1: was living thing
then, binding mems hearts together, and
giving strength and unity to the host which
proposed to destroy POpery and Prelacy.
1t lost its power as the enthusiasm with
which it was received declined. But many
in Scotland have always seemed to have the
splf.s q IT, !las IN their blood, even '
when they understood little of its original
purpose. 81 dinna ken what the Covenant
is," said an old Scottish dame even in our
day, "but I'll maintain It," And the lin
gering love of this old document disclosed
itself on the och Of O,tober of this year,
When congregation of the Original Sc
ceders in Edinburgh met and subscribed their
names to the League. Only about fifty
names were found in place of the thousands
and tens of thousands that once struggled in
Greyfriars church-yard to reach the famous
document, as it lay on the tomhstones. The
day of its power has passed away, but no
man can look without reverence upon a
Covenant which bound together a host of
the best and braveat Of the age which gave
it birth.

nouncing the freedom of the press? We
admit that Leo finished St. Peters. And we
rejoice that he devoted himself to aTchitec'
ture, for the Saxon Monk was reused by the
indulgences out of which it was completed.
The man of sin covered under the preliml-
nary thunders sent forth from Wittenberg.
We will not enlarge, for the Reformation
has been the theme of historians for three
centuries, and is becoming more and more a
household word in the homes of the human
race.

wise if our Presbyteries would take this mat
ter in hand by way of Overture.
