OMNIPRESENCE.

| look toward heaven and see the stars
Buried in blue. So far they lie
Within the ocean Of the sky,
That when Nights sombre hand unbars
The portals of their joy.it passes on
Through useless years. without bound,
Unknown, unfelt. Unheard the sound
of starlight underhOwing sun /!
Is God, the Maker of the spheres.
Thus far from me? Must be taught
To see Him in what he has wrought?
Doth love demand unlighted years ?
Must God beneath creation flow,
As starlight underhoweth sun
The distant and the higher run
Uufelt fore'er in lesser glow ?
Nay For before the earth was made,
Starlight had fallen in its place .
Ere | was born, Gods tender grace
Had lighted all the gloomy grade.
Thou, Father. omnipresent art,
Thy love beneath thy kindness lies;
And with the darkening of the skies,
The golden currents flow apart

COMMUNION WITH CHRIST.

Oh. why do not Christian men and
women oftener retire thus from the world,
and behold Jesus and be with Him 1t
is, with too many of them, toll, toll, all
the day; vexation of soul and WEAKNESS
of body; and the same round renewed
the next day and the next; while they
are too weary and careworn TO look at
the Lord in His Word. except it may be
for little while in His house and on
His day, when even then they are like
the disciples on the Mount, too heavy
eyed to catch more than glimpse of
their Masters glory. They lose much
who live so. 1t is eating of the tree of
life daily to come to Jesus in His Word
to hear His voice. to have His holy
thoughts make entrance into our souls.
1t is like stepping from midday heat
and sweltering toll into the restsof a
cool room, thus to withdraw for while
from the world into the presence and
love of our Lord. Though we are CON-
PEELED to live and labor in the world, We
may withdraw from it in thought and
heart for awhile. and be in the better
world with God and Christ and the glo.
rifed yea, even more than this, fol
while we work and are surrounded with
evil and hear words of evil, we may
shut the doors Of our heart upon all
and be for little while with Christ
Beholding Him if it be only a glimps'
Of His glory, purifes, perfects and bless
IS. We want, like man toiling in
uoxious atmosphere. to lift up our head
now and then, and catch breath of tn
pure air Of heaven, or we suffer an,
perish. Think. o child Of God, b,
what little step you can leave tn
world behind and be in thought wit
Jesus; and how blessed is the infuenc
Of communion with Him; and seek {
be oftener in its enjoyment. In a shor
time, Jesus and the things divine wi
be everything TO US. and all in thi
world, that 50 engrosses and harasses vi
/ viii be as nothing-yea, but one shor
hour may make this great change. Ia
US not pass away TO enter upon thing
eternal as to those entirely new an
and strange to us.-Rer. ". II. Leaci.

Sailors would be 10th to sail without
using their log to test their pace. and
show their progress. The wonder is that
so many Christian professors navigate
the sea of life. and are utterly careless
whether they are making Roadway or
drifting from their course. Should we
not all cast overheard our log? There
are various ways by which with readi-
ness We may measure our progress our
prayers, our lab9rs, our patience, our
faith. our communion with God. our hu-
mility. may all serve as logs by which
to measure our sailing pace.

81 hear great many people complain
about our singing that hymn and pray |
ing for the Holy Ghost to come. They
say He came on the day of Pentecost,
aud has been here ever since. But when
we pray for Him to come, it is that He
may anoint US afresh. that He may en-
dow US with fresh power. There is such
a thing as a man just having life but not
having the power, and so when We pray
that the Holy Ghost may come upon us
with power, that we may be anointed,
that is different thing. And God has
got a good many children who have just
barely got life, but no power for service.
You might say safely. think, without
exaggeration, that 9 out of every 90 of
professed Christians are of no earthly
account so far as building up Christ's
kingdom; but on the contrary they are
standing right in the way, and the reas-
on is because they have just got life
and have settled down. and have not
sought for power. If a man is only con-
/ verted, and we get him into the church.
we think the work is done, and we let
him 90 right off to sleep. Instead of
urging him to seek the gift of the Holy
Ghost, that he may be anointed for
work, We let him sleep and slumber.-
This world would soon be converted If
all such were baptized with the Holy
Ghost. We find Philip. a deacon. going
down to Samana to preach. We find
that Stephen, the first martyr, was {
, layman. The Spirit of the Word of Goo
, came down upon him, and he could no
! help preaching. When man is full o
: the Holy Ghost, he cannot help working
, for the Lord. We would indeed have
: stir in the church if we were baptizet
5 with the Holy Ghost. The cry woul'
D be Here am |. Lord; use me, send me ?
: We would all be anxious to be used i
e Gods service.-Moody.

No men deserve the title of infdels so
little as those to whom it has been usu-
ally applied; let any of those who de-
nOunce Christianity, write fairly down in
book all of the absurdities that they
believe in instead of it. and they will
find that it requires more faith to reject
Christianity than to embrace it.

ELECTROMAGNETIC revival of bu-
Siness caused by our late war, and the
unwonted rise in values, have called
into the field a numerous class of non
producers, who hoped to amass for
tunes by their simple wits. The few
who became suddenly rich. by specu-
lation stimulated the desire in many
to initiate their example. Hence, we
see at the present time multitudes
who have no productive employment
no legitimate trade.
Of this class are many drawn from
legitimate labor in the rural districts,
who have left slow but sure gains for
speculative uncertainties Of trade !;
such now are seen around the great
marts Of business like singed moths
around the blaze of an evening torch.
This class, in too many cases, are
only verifcations of the truth that
''they that would be rich fall into di-
vers temptations" With increased
expenditures for living, and an increas.
ed desire to keep up appearanees,such
have been compelled to resort to
shifts and turns which, 70 say the
least, are Of doubtful right. WinsloW
and Pond are only visible manifesto
tons of a large class whose lack o.
opportunities have made them les.
conspicuous. The plethora of unpro
ductive occupations in our large cities
is telling on business morals. To,
much sharp dealing and too little hon
est labor is an evil which is fast ma
turing its fruits. Living on the ad
vantage taken of the ignorance 0
confidence OF others is fatal to bus
ness morals.
What we need is a return of a larg
class Of mere schemers to the rurs
occupations of the country, and
check upon the influx of young me
from the farms and workshops to on
cities. The present depression is d,
ing something in this direction. /,
the facts Of success in city trade
known and the ingress Of young me
from the farm would be still less
