OF course, | could not refuse such money.

dollars and eighty-fve cents saved in the

more in Christian character in that one year

An Unseen Saviour.

Absence, we have often been told, cannot
conquer love. The victory of love over alb
sence, when that love was once grounded in
presence, is no strange thing. 1t is part of
every family history and consecrates all our
griefs. But to love one we have never seen,
known to us only by his biography and by
spiritual power we cannot explain, is one OF
the mysteries of the grace of God. And
yet it is fact. Christianity is not the
adoption of principle, but the love of a
person. Children who know nothing OF
principles, philosophers weary of theories
which yielded only chatf under the fail of
logic have found in the love of a personal
Lord the answer to every longing of their
hearts. Here is one Of the greatest facts OF
human history there once lived and died
and ascended from earth Man who, though
never seen on earth again, has commanded
the hearts of millions of men with an at
tachment whose bonds, like those OF gravi-
tation, are at once invisible and almighty.
Christians sometimes say, If | could only
see my Saviour and hear His voice, it would
help me to a sense OF His love and friend
ship. He would be TO me less an idea and
more distinctly person. Nor is the re-
mark entirely without foundation in expert
ence. There is danger lest the personal
Jesus may become obscured behind His doc
trine, and we may think we are loving our
invisible Lord when we are rather loving
the truths for which He stands, His humility,
grace and mercy.--Selected.

" Being Bnrdened.V

This body is not very fitting home
for us, and we often discover by ex-
perience how announcement it is. 1t is n
poor old tent, easily overturned, constantly
getting rent, and the older 1t gets the more
trouble it takes to patch it up and to keep
it in habitabe repair In the course of
years it has become soisd and creased and
worn like the tents of kedar; with the wear
and tear of many years it becomes more and
more evident that it is not worthy dwell
ing-place for the child of a king, nor fit
abode for an immortal spirit, born from on
high. We have suffered many inconyen-
fences from this crumbling tabernacle in
many ways, but especially in spiritual
things we have been willing to watch, but
the body has been inclined TO sleep; the
spirit has been willing, but the flesh has
been very weak. We have been numbered
with WEAKNESS, pain, care, aud bodily ap-
petite when we have desired TO be altogether
engrosscd with heavenly things. Some
times, when we would sing, a throbbing
headache makes us sigh when we rejoice
with Joy unspeakable, a palpitating heart
depresses us and when we would go about
our Masters business a lame foot or de
caying constitution hinders us, so that we
dwell in house which is beneath the
quality of so noble creature as spirit.
We have to put up with flesh and blood,
but we are ontgrowing them--we feel we
are; there is something within us which
warns us that, like certain of the sea crea-
lures which have to break their shells up as
they grow, so we are growingly in need OF
another and better abode. Weare like the
young chick within the egg-Jhell--it has
been home for us until now, but it is be
coming too strait for us, we begin TO chip it,
and we sometimes wish il would break al
together, that we might enjoy further lib
erty. We that are in this body do groan,
being burdened," and groan we shall till the
day Of our full redemption and the deliver
ance of the body from the bondage of cor
ruption.--SWgeon

Give Like n Little Child.

Not long since, poor widow came into
my study She is over sixty years of age.
Her home is one little room, about ten feet
by twelve; she supports herself by her nee
die, which, in these days of sewing ma
chimes, means the most miserable support.
Imagine my surprise when she put into my
hands three dollars, and said "There is
my contribution 10 the church fund" "But
you are not able 10 give SO much !" "Oh
yes |" she exclaimed, al have learned how
TO give now" How is that ?" | asked.
" DO you remember" she answered, " that
sermon Of yours three months ago, when
you told us that you did not believe one of
your people was so poor that, II he loved
Christ, he could not find some way Of show
ing that love by his gifts 7" ~ do"
" Well went home and cried all night over
that sermon. ! said TO myself, My minis
ter don't know how poor am, or he would
never have said that But from crying
soon got TO praying and when told Jesus
all about 1t, seemed TO get an answer in
my heart that dried up my tears" "What
was the answer 2" | asked, deeply moved by
her recital "Only this; II you cannot
give as other people do, gice Ike litfle caRd.'

Carrying Their Own Birthstone.

After a service in place where the peo-
pie had been good deal bewildered by
self-ordained preacher, who accepted only so
much of the Bible as suited his whims, and
who was wont TO make merry over the idea
of future punishment, a man stepped up to
me, and said in canting voice; Bishop,
do you believe in hell 2" | said " Are
you anxious to know what think of hell :"
lie said Yes" "Well," said l. "the
best answer have ever heard came from a
poor negro woman. She had young niece
who sorely tried the poor soul. The more
she struggled TO keep this willful charge in
the right way, the more she seemed to WAN
der. One day, after hearing a new preacher,
the niece came bounding into the room
" Aunty, aunty, amt gwine to believe in
hell no more. Ef dar is any hell, just
wants to know where dey gets all dere brim-
stone for dat place; dat's what I'd like to
know" The old woman fixed her eyes on
her, and, with tear on her cheek, said
" All honey darlin', you look ont you don't
go dere for you'll find dey all takes dere
oon birthstone rid 'um." said Is there
any other question in theology you would
like to ask 2" lie said MOI" and he
went home-I hope, with a new idea that
sin brings sorrow, and that to be saved We
need delverance from sin. Some men carry

"Casting all Your Care upon Him.

How much the anxieties of life are in
creased by forgetting the little, but compre-
hensive word sail" of the text What
father might not learn lesson from his
child, with whom he is starting for jour
ney His little boy says, '' Father, you will
have TO carry the big bag, | cannot; and
will carry the little one" The strong father
smiles, and says, 81 think you had better
let me carry both" They start. After a
few minutes the little bag becomes great
burden, and the child overheated and weary,
SAYS, "Father, you had better take the little
bag too" One Of the greatest lessons of
life is for a child of God TO let his Heavenly
Father carry every burden; to cast all his
care upon Him. Little trials are Chris
tian's great temptation. :" BE careful for
nothing; but in everything, by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your re-
quests be made known unto God" "Truly,"
says Archbishop Leighton, "the godly are
much in the wrong TO themselves, by not
improving this, their sweet privilege. They
too often forget this, their sweet way, and
fret themselves to no purpose wrcstle with
their burthens themselves, and do not en-
tirely and freely roll them Orer on God"
Many man who never doubts Gods care
of the whole church TO the minutest partic-
ular is tempted TO distrust Gods interest in
the little things that concern his own daily
life CArisiiaA Treasury.

L. was brighteyed little boy about
four years old. His parents were deyotedly
attached to him. They were both members
of the church, and his father was an officer
in 1t, but because of his timidity, had never
erected family altar in his home, and, in
consequence of this, little L. had never
heard his fathers voice in prayer. LIS
mother had taught her little boy TO pray
every evening before retiring, and was
earnestly trying TO raise him up in the nur-
ture and admonition of the Lord. One
evening, after the little fellow arose from
his knees, as he was climbing into bed, he
said " Ma, when | get to be a man, won't
have to pray, will :" g Yes, dear" said
the mother, you will always have to pray
to God, for He loves you" Well, father
doesn't pray, and he is a man" The above
is true incident. give it just as 1t was
related to me by the child's mother. l need
not add that that father has now family
altar in his home. | hope that the eye Of
some other Christian parent who never prays
with his family may fall on it. Fathers,
see to it Little eyes are watching you.
