Lead Us Not into Temptation.

The Rev, Julian Young's journal
contains the subjoined good story of
a polemical parisLioner:
In one Of my ministerial rounds at
Fairlight, in Sussex, / visited Dame
Pankhurst-quite character i'll her
way; bluff, blunt, and shrewd, and
close on the verge of eighty. She
was seated at her tea-table, and with
knitted brows and a puzzled express
sion of face, was porting over her
haize-coyered Bible. As soon as 7
entered she took off her spectacles,
wiped them with her checked apron
and deposited them on a chair by her
side, and thus accosted me: Muster
Young, it's very handy your coming
in just now, for be sadly put about;
and | amt, to say, easy in my mind
at summit asI'yc been a reading in
this here book. I've stumbled, l
think, on one of the things, as Peter
says is hard to be understood" -
she then pointed to the first chapter
Of St. James, and desired me to read
aloud for her the second verse, which
had so disconnected her: Count It
all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations When l had complied
with her request, she stuck her arms
akimbo, and, shaking her head skep-
tically and defantly, asked me awhat
| thought O that? If there be mean
ing in them words, they mean as we
arc to be glad to fall into temptations.
Perhaps there's summit more in the.
meaning Of that word temptation
than | know. on. Anyhow / can't
make head nor tail ont She chen
hung down her head and repeated to
herself, in tones Of dissatisfaction,
almost Of Indignation, the Words
tempt tions tempt tions! tempt
a-tions, indeed! What be UNI, I'd
! like to know" / told her that the
word had two meanings-onc signi-.
flying ''to allure or entice;'' the other
.to try,," and that in the passage to
which she had directed my attention
the word temptation meant "trial.'
That St. James, in writing those
words, was exhorting Christians ito
be patient under trial;;" and that
though God could not directly temps
his servants, yet that sometimes, as
III the cases of Job and St. Paul, he
permitted them to be tempted, that
iby the confirmation Of their faith
they might win the greater glory,
and therefore have the. greater cause.
for JOY. In confirmation Of my as-
sertion, shat God could pot himself
directly tempt. however he might be
said to do so indirectly, I pointed
her notice to the thirteenth verse of
the same chapter on which she. fair
Ily exploited. 'sWhat dye mean !?
My mother taught me to pray to
God, Lead US not into temptation,'
from the Lords prayer Watch and
lpray, that ye enter not into tempta-
tion;' and this here st. James, an
excellent good man, | suppose, tells
us that we're to be uncommon glad
4if We fall into temptations. Why are
we to be warned against temptations,
1if, when they come, they are to make
us happy And, then again, as to
what you We been saying out 9 your
own head mean chat God cant

LOVES COMING.

Break into beautiful blossoms,
0 buds of the sunny May,
And sing, my robin and blue-biid,
Your sweetest carol to-day
For my love has written letter,
And the world is all in tune
He is coming with the roses
In the fairest days of June.
l am counting the days between lis,
l ain counting the moments and hours,
Telling my beads, like q solemn nun,
On rosary of flowers;
For e.said, when the buds of the roses
Are flushing in royal red,
He is coming to claim, promise,
Il wonder what have said.)
Break into sohss and blossoms,
0 birds and buds Of spring,
Lilies, scatter your fragrance,
And sweetest song birds sing;
And skies, drop golden sunshine
In the beautiful days of June,
For my love is coming to see me,
AID the world is all in tune.
