Signs Of Spiritual Decline.

I. When you are averse to religious
conversation OF the company of
heavenly~minded Christians,
2. When, from preference and with
out necessity you absent yourself from
religious services.
8. When yon are more concerned
about pacifying conscience than honor-
ing Christ, in performing duty.
4. When you are more afraid of being
counted ovey-strict than of dishoDor-
ing Christ.
5. When you trife' with temptation,
or think lightly of sin.
6. When the faults of others are
more matter of censorious converse .
ton than secret grief and prayer.
7. When you are impatient and un-
forgiving toward the faults of others.
8. When you confess, but do not
forsake sin, and when you acknowledg e
but still neglect duty.
9. When your cheerfulness has more
of the leyity of the unregenerate than
the holy Joy of the children of God.
10. When you shrink from self-ex.
animation.
II. When the sorrows and cares of
the world follow you farther into the
Sabbath than the SAVIOR and sanctity of
the Sabbath follow you into the week.

Not a Prayer Meeting Christian !.

But Thomas was, not with. them
when, Jesus, came.
No.: but he was, at the meeting next
week.. SO we mast believe that there
was good reason for that absence of
Thomas Perhaps be- was sick.
| But oar Thomas is never at the
prayer meeting He has, been mem
Der of the church for many years. He
enjoys robust health. He is not SO
coufned to the house, nor 80 afraid OF
the night air, but he cam go abroad in
the evening to do bRsiners or seek
pleasure at the lecture, the concert, the
social gathering, the party, or even at
the ball. Why not, then, at the
prayer meeting
Perhaps he does not believe that
Jesus is there. But has he not promised
to be there where two or three are
gathered in my name, there am I in
their midst" Is he not faithful and
true.?
Perhaps he does not wish to meet
Jesus. But he is a professed follower
of Christ why not follow him there
Does he not love Jesus, and meet at
the communion table when it is spread?
Is not Jesus the same loving, sympa-
thizing and helpful Savior at the prayer
meeting?
Perhaps he does not like the company
there. Perhaps he prefers that of the
party-goers and of the ball-goers. But
those are his brothers and sisters IN
Christ Are these more eongenial?
Perhaps he does not relish the prayers
and exhortations Of the brethren. They
are not always grammatical; but God
regards the language of tire bears,
though that of the lips be faulty. They
are not always edifying, bus some-
times they are very profitable. Can he
not accept and enjoy the good and
pardon the rest? Besides, the pastor is
there. and opens up the Scriptures, that
are good for the use of edlfying, and
songs of harmonious praise lift souls to
God.
Perhaps he fears be will be called on
to bear his part in the common prayer
and conference. Why not ? Does he
not pray and speak in his family of
God Can he not talk to his fellows
in other meetingss What not in the
prayer meetings But if he cannot, he
will be excused, if be requests it. But
his brethren desire his presence and
lament his absence, and others wonder
at it.
Oh! brother, be prayer meeting
Christian.

Neighbors' Thistles.

A person was once walking with a
farmer through beautiful field, when
he happened to see tall thistle on the
other side of the fence. In a second
over the fence he jumped, and cut it off
close to the ground. els that your
fields" asked his companion. "Oh no !"
said the farmer; shad weeds do not
care much for fences, and if l should
leave this thistle to blossom in my
neighbours field I should have plenty of
nay OWL"
Evil weeds in our neighbours field
will! scatter seeds of evil in our own /;
therefore, every weed pulled up in our
neighbor's field is dangerous enemy
driven off from your own. No man
liveth or dieth to himself. All are
linked together.
Sages Of old contend that no sin was
ever committed whose consequences
rested upon the head OF the sinner
alone that no man could do ill and his
fellows not suffer. They illustrated it
thus: ga vessel sailing from Joppa
carried a passenger, who, beneath his
berth, cut a hole through the ships
side. When the men of the watch
expostulated with him, what doest
thou, 0 miserable man 2 the offender
calmly replied, What matters it to you
The hole I have made is under my own
berth"
This ancient parable is worthy of the
utmost consideration. No man pelishes
the full consequences of his trangression.

Haunted through al the gamut sweet
On human love by nobler chords,
That make life's melody complete.

Or weaken friendships blessed tie,
Or some unhappy circumstance
Make love, that seemed abiding, die.
They say who love thee we'll, O God,
That thus thou leadest us to thee ).

Before II ON idols we are free.

Each is a precious gift from thee;
And human love is grand enough
TO hint what love divine must be.
