FRUIT.BEARING CHRISTIANS.

FRUIT.BEARING CHRISTIANS.
"Herein is my Father gorified, that ye bring
forth much fruit and ye shall be my disciples"
John 1873.
Most of us who profess to be followers of
Jesus Christ, would do we'll to give these
words of the Saviour our prayerful attention.
The relation which exists between God the
father, Christ the Saviour, and true Christians,
is stated in the previous context. 1t is this
Christ is the true vine, God is the cultivator,
and believers in Christ are the branches.
The test of being in Christ is stated to be
"bearing much fruit" The fruit meant is,
repentance, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
and a godly life. Evidently these three
things are wanting to a deplorable degree in
the lives of most professors. "By their fruits, "
says the Saviour in another place, "ye shall
know them" Here it is said if ye bring forth
much fruit-if your lives abound in repen'
tance, in constant dependence by faith on the
Saviour, if you are humble, laborious follow
ers of Christ, then ye shall be, or appear to be,
and be conscious that you are my disciples.
No more reasonable test could be applied ;
and yet when applied, many must come un-
der the head of dead branches-barren fig
trees. Many of US rarely are sorry in the
right way for our SINS We hang our heads
in shame when our sins are exposed to the
knowledge of our fellow men. Then we are
sorry that we are disgraced but we are not
sorry that we have offended our heavenly
father Our faith is less than grain of mus
tard seed. We murmur and repine, and re-
bel against the providence of God. In our ig'
norance we often think we could manage the
affairs of the world much better than God
does it. This is not all our lives are in every
particular like the lives Of our neighbors.
We 90 to church and support the gospel. So
do they. We support fair exterior. So do
they. They do every thing we do; and when
it is asked, what do ye more than others, we
are silent. We can think of nothing save a
barren profession that marks US as Christians
1t is to be feared that many Of US have a name
to live, whilst, in reality, we are dead. We
have never been converted we have only
Joined the church. We have never repented ;
we have only reformed.

READY FOR HER-The other day De.
troit mother poured some ink on the pantry
shelf near the sugar box, and went up stairs,
leaving her small son playing with the cat.
When she came down the boy sat by the
window, wearing placid, innocent look, but
there were ink-stains on his fingers.
"There you've been at the sugar" she ex-
claimed, as she seized him by the collar.
Mother, do you think I'd steal sugar" he
asked, in tone Of SURPRISE
"Look at those stains on your finger. What
made emf"
"Those stains, mother?'

A CHILD's LEssoN-A Louisville parent,
who is much given to the very thoughtless
habit of swearing whenever his temper is
ruffled by even the smallest circumstance,
was trying to pull on a pair of wet boots the
other day. He was much vexed, as usual,
but the presence of his little four-year old boy
Caused him to restrain the tide of oaths that
were pressing hard for an outlet. Charlie
evidently comprehended the situation, and
remarked to his papa that there was only one
way to get them on. Pausing a bit for breath,
and expressing his impatience for moment,
he said, testify "What do you know about
it" "Do you really want to know papa? p
"Yes; out with it, "Well," said the pre-
cocious Charley, just cuss 'em on, papa"
The father doesn't "cuss" any more now

No AccoMMoDAT1oN.-T other night,
while one of the coroners was enjoying his
first hours sleep, a great knocking on the
door aroused him, and he put his head out
of the window and inquired what was wanted

required" !" was the answer.
The official hurriedly dressed, descended
and as he reached the gate he inquired:
"How far is it %

ply.
The caller finally opened gate, passed
around to the summer kitchen, and as the
coroner followed him liz he said:
"I've been threatening to move that internal
old stove over into the corner for more than
month, and now if you'll take hold we'll
have some beer afterwards"
The coroner went right home, and when his
wife asked him ifit was suicide or an acciden
tai death he replied:
"Don't talk to me-Tm sleepy.
