Systematic Beneficence.
CONSIDERATION.


More than half a century ago, Nathaniel
Cobb sat down in his counting house, in
Boston, and wrote the following solemn cove
nant:
BY the grace of God, will never be
worth more than fifty thousand dollars. By
the grace of God, will give onefourth Of
the net profits of my business to charitable
and religious uses. If l am ever worth
twenty thousand dollars, will give one-half
OF my net profits; if | am ever worth thirty
thousand dollars, l will give three-fourths;
and the whole after fifty thousand dollars.
So help me God, or give to a more faithful
steward, and set me aside"
This covenant he subscribed and adhered
to with conscientious fidelity as long as he
lived. On his death-bed he said to friend,
"By the grace of God, nothing else, have
been enabled, under the influence of these
resolutions, to give away more than forty
thousand dollars. How good the Lord has
been to mel
THE AGE CALLING FOR SUCH CONSIDERATION.
If Nathaniel Cobb, and others Of kindred
spirit, felt moved thus early, in view Of the
pressing wants of the field, to consecrate
their talent for money making to the Lord,
what shall we say of those more favored
Christians, who live in these later tiyes, into
which God has crowded such abundant op-
portunities for doing good, by enlarging the
sphere of Christian benefcence in almost
every direction? The times in which we live
are wonderful for their opportunities, won
derful for their "open DOORS" wonderful
for the leadings Of Providence, and for the
making bare of the right arm" Of the
Most High. God is doing more to day for
the enlargement of the Churches and the
extension of His kingdom than in any simi-
lar period of time since the Reformation.
1t would be strange, indeed, if, to these
movements of Providence, the Churches we're
not responding with joyful alacrity. To be
insensible to such appeals as are constantly
coming to them with louder and yet louder
voices, would argue degree of spiritual
apathy not to be predicted lightly of the
people of God. But Gods people have not
been insensible or apathetc. The nineteenth
century, and especially the latter half of it,
has been characterized by usual Christian
activity. The spirit of Christian enterprise
has entered largely into the life of the age.
Broader views have been taken of duty, of
privilege, Of Christian responsibility. Juster
apprehensions have been formed Of the rels-
tions Of the Church to perishing world.
As never before, the practical side Of Chris
tianity has beef interpreted to mems consci-
ences. Lord what wilt Thou have me to
do y is an inquiry which the providences of
God have forced upon the consideration of
thoughtful Christians; for they have seen
the movement Of the "cloud above the tab
ernacle," plainly signalling to the sacramen-
tai host of Gods elect to advance along the
line.-Misiona,y.

Work in Your Own Field.

God has said, "Let every thing be done
in order" 1t is his providence that deter
mines the bounds of our habitation, and
furnishes the several stations that we occu-
py; and into these We are to look for our
duties and opportunities. Men are often
led out of their own sphere of action in or
der to be usefuli but it is ignorance, if not
pride and discomfort that tempts them astray.
As the stream of river is most beneficial
when it steals along its own channel, though
it make not 80 much noise, and excites not
80 much notice as when it breaks over its
banks, and roars as a food; so good men
are most acceptable and useful in their ap-
pointed course. Wisdom will estimate every
man by what he is, not out of his place and
calling, but in them. There We naturally
look after him; there we unavoidably COM
pare him with his obligations; there we see
him habitually; and there he gains char.
acter, or goes without one.
Some have zeal not according to knowl.
edge. 1t blazes at a distance; but burns
dim at home. In day like the present
there will be many occasional calls of pub
lie duty; but it will be sad exclamation tc
make at dying hour, "My own vineyard
have 1 not kept" In the spiritual still more
than in the temporal neglect, "He that pro
videth not for his own, especially those o.
bis own house, hath denied the faith, and ii
worse than an in6del.'

REV. DIR HOGEs VIEW.

Since writing my last article on the text
which has been the subject of protracted
discussion, l notice an article from my old
friend and brother, st W. H." And l
want to thank him for calling attention to
DR.. Noses Hoge's sermon of Oct, 1910.
For while that most reverend father in the
Church seems, in the extracts given, to
stand against me. fad by little study
that be is for ne fully. The use of means
to gain an end; and the connection of means
with the promises of GOd-all this is readily
understood and admitted. But in the dis
cussiOn Of the question, a wrong answer to
which | have com batted, this has no part.
My question was simply, g" What dtd Paul
fear, IN tie utterance Of l Cor. ir: p 2
Some say, the loss of his soul, &C., l say,
"N1, not that; but that he would be a
'eas;away' from the confidence and hearing
of those whose souls ne was trying to win.
To avoid this, be tells US how and what he
did" What does DR.. Moses Hoge say
On page 8, Delivered from a state of ma
ture aud brought into state of grace by
the most extraordinary means; exalted to
the third heavens that he might Be raised
ADORE the fear of earth and he'll: in labors
more abundant than any of his fellow apOs
ties, and expressly assured by revelation
from Jesus Christ of grace sufficient for him :
but notwithstanding all this, he considers it
necessary to employ the most eFectual pre-
cautions in his power to guard against final
disappointment" But dad DR.. Hoge mean
that Paul feared the loss of his Own soul?
Let him answer, PIP. 3. 4. Not that the
apostle .gas really a state of uncertainty
pah respect to has faal destiny. Tns would
not accord with that full assurance of happy
Immortality, which he has elsewhere ex-
pressedln the most peremptOry language. No,
nv brethren, We must not imagine this most
faithful servant to have been in state OF
painful uncertainty with regard to the ultl-
mate issue of sll his tolls aud conflicts in the
Christian cause" And p. 5, Though ,Ce
are not permitted to suppose the apostle to
hare been under any NHeasy aPPrehensiORS
for has oVa fate when he committed these
words to record, yet ,0hO of as, my brethren,
can attentyely read them without some emo
tions Of anxious apprehension for himself?'

TROUBLED TEACHER Most of the grand
truths of God have to be learned by trouble;
they must be burned into Us with the hot
iron of affiction, otherwise we shall not truly
receive them. No man is competent to Judge
in matters of the kingdom, until first he has
been tried; since there are many things to
be learned in the depths which we can never
know in the heights. We discover many Sc
crets in the caverns of the ocean, which,
though We had scared to heaven, we never
could have known. He shall best meet the
wants of Gods people as a preacher who
has had those wants himself; he shall best
comfort Gods Israel who has needed com
fort; and he shall best preach salvation who
has felt his own need of it.

The tract has been circulated among almost

Such is something of the power Of his holy

Of God is that "the poor shall never cease
oat of the land" The season of winter now
upon us must greatly multiply this class.
How clearly is it the duty of all to open
their hearts and their hands to the great
charity of remembering the poor; especially
should Christials see to it that none of their
fellow Christians are left to pinching want.
Go and visit them, relieve their wants, pray
with them, instruct and comfort them.
One of the happy fruits will be in the re-
freshing Of your own soul. You may also
be able to say concerning some of their hab-
itations, that you have received more good
from them than any others you ever entered.
I" He that hath pity on the poor lsndsth unto
the Lord; and that which he hath given wiV
he pay him again" The Lord of heaven
takes the debt upon himself, becomes the
surety for the poor, and gives US the bond
of his word in promise of payment. Is there
any other investment half so secure?

many ship out of the port of New York,
and it was not till this great revival of 1858
and 1859 that God was in all my thoughts.
But the Holy Spirit took hold of me few
months ago, and shook me out of my spirit
ual slumbers. | got my eyes open, and
found myself among the breakers. did not
know enough about prayer to know how to

held on, crying, "Our Father" Then /

Lord Jesus Christ" l looked on the whole
that was said about the Lord Jesus Christ,
and l found he was just such Saviour as l
needed iR the storm, and cried out to him,
Lord save--I perish" No sooner said
than done. The Lord Jesus was as good as
his word. He cut me adrft from my sine,

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.

Mr.. Editor,-I send you for the columns
of the Central Presbyterian an extract from
one of F. w. Robertson's sermons. You
will agree with me, doubt not, that it is
singularly beautiful in conception and style,
and that it sets forth most valuable truth.
There is much in Robertson that one must
admire, but unhappily quite as much that
you and | most thoroughly condemn as con.
trary to the truth as it is in Jesus. What
gifts we're his; alas! What blindness also.
l have met with this figure of the advanc-
ing and retreating waves of the sea used in
the same way, in writer much older than
Robertson. 1t is not, however, so fully and
impressively unfolded and enforced.
O. P.
Christian Progress.
F" 1t is the work of long life time to be-
come q (mature) Christian. Many, oh
many time, are we tempted to say, !
make no progress at all. 1t is only failure
after failure. Nothing grows. Now, look
at the sea when the food is coming in. Go
and stand by the sea-beach. and you will
think that the cease;ess feet and reflect is
but retrogressive equal to the advance. But
look again in an hours time, and the whole
ocean has advanced. Every advance has
been beyond the last, and every retrogradc
movement has been an imperceptible trife
less than the last. This is progress; to be
estimated at the end of hours, not minutes.
And this is Christian progress. Many
uctuation-many backward motion with
rush at times as violent that all seems lost:
but if the eternal work be real, every failure
has been real gain, and the next does not
carry US so far back as we were before
Every advance is real gain, and part of
1t is never lost. Both when we advance and
when we fail, we gain. We are nearer to
God than we were. The food of Spirit-life
has carried US up higher on the everlasting
shores, when the waves of life beat no more,
and it's fluctuations end, and all is peace at
last. This is the faith and patience of the
saints.

All is Bright in Heaven.

What happy thought this is? You, my
dear little friends, may feel that all is equally
as bright on earth. So at present, it may
seem; for your young hearts have perhaps
never known sorrow; but do you think your
life will always be so joyous? No, no, as your
years increase, so will pleasures give place
to the cares and troubles which flesh is heir
to. We may often wonder why it is, that a
loving Father will SO make sadness possess
our hearts. 1t is because he knows so well,
that if our lives here are spent in happiness,
we shall wish no other home; and he would
have us seek place in that mansion, which
has so long been prepared for the truly good.
Having felt the darkness of earth, we can
better appreciate the joys and brightness of
heaven.
"Mortal joys how soon they fade;
How swift they pass away!"
Then let our present enjoyments be such
as may more brightly beam for us, in that
Land, where all "that ia beautiful melts not
away" Pleasures here, however gay, can
not last. Too sadly are We forced to &C.
knowledge, that the happy days of summer
must ere long be changed to dreary winter.
May God help you all to prepare your
hearts while on earth, that you may look
hopefully forward to a time when you shall
indeed know, that "all is bright in heaven !"
Here is often heard the toling bell, calling
US to witness the closing of the cold damp
earth over the features of some dearly loved
one; but in heaven, no such funeral knell
bids US repair to these melancholy graves.
IT'S one scene of parting here; but there
will be happy meeting of fondly loved ones
in heaven. If you would have home in
that bright world, you must "walk in the
light, as God is in the light" You must
love God and keep his commandments, you
must govern all bad passions, feelings and
desires. But of yourselves you are not able
to do these things; so must read your Bible,
and learn what Jesus says. "Ask and it
shall be given" Then again. speaking by
his servants, he says. 81 lOve them that lOve
me, and them that seek me early shall find
me-" You must pray God to give you a
clean heart, loving and forgiving spirit
must ask him to make your heart his dwell.
ling place, that he may keep it from all
wickedness. These prayers, being granted
you, my dear little friends, will be fitted for
the companionship of angels, and the like
ness of God, where all is bright IN heaven.
