A Telegram from Heaven.

A young man was once employed as
clerk in telegraph Office in a town in Eng
land. In some way or other God had led
him to see that he was sinner, and this
caused him great distress of mind. Like a
poor lamb in the mountains, he felt that he
had wandered from Gods fold, and was
lost sheep. But he could not tell where to
find the Shepherd, or how to get back to his
fold. But Jesus, the Good Shepherd, took a
singular way to find him and bring him back.
The young man went to his Office one
morning in great distress of mind from the
burden of his sins. He was lifting up his
heart in secret and saying, "God be merciful
to me sinner" when the click Of the tele-
graph machine before him told him that a
message was coming. He looked and saw
that it came from Windermere, up among
the beautiful lakes of England. There was
first the name and residence of the person
for whom the telegram was sent, and then
followed these words from the Bible: "Be-
hold the Lamb of God that taketh away the
sins of the world 10 whom we have redemp-
tion through His blood, the forgiveness of
sins according to the riches of His grace"
And then followed the name of the person
sending it. This was strange message to
send by telegraph. The explanation of it
was this: The telegram was sent to SER
want girl living in that town. She was in
distress about her sins and trying to find Je-
sus. She had brother who was a Chris
tian; he was servant in the family Of a
gentleman who was spending the summer at
the lakes. This poor girl had written to her
brother, telling him about the trouble che
was in, and asking him the great question,
"What must do to be saved? Her brother
had no time to write to her just then, so he
sent her this telegram. The poor girl found
her way to Jesus through those sweet words
from her brother. And SO did that young
man in the telegraph offics. This was tel
egram from heaven to him. Those precious
words, "the Lamb of God," "sin taken
away" redemption through His grace" j"
brought him to Jesus, and he found peace in
Him. The Good Shepherd made good use
of the telegraph wire to bring one of his lost
sheen back to Himself.

The Church in the House.

The other day in one of Mr.. Moody's
meetings an aged man stood up and asked
prayer for the conversion of his wife. "How
long have you lived together?" said the evan
gelist. "Thirty. five years." was the reply.
"What all that time, and she not convert
ed yeti exclaimed Mr.. Moody, and the
words produced such an impression on the
heart of the stranger, that he Immediately
requested the supplications of the people for
himself
The incident was striking one, and if we
knew all the effects that followed on the
preachers exclamation, we might perhaps
discover that it went with power to the con-
sciences of multitudes for whom, at the mo-
ment, it was not specially intended. For it
must be confessed that in these days we are
making far too little of g the church in the
house" and while neglecting to use the means
which centre ip the family, We are lookiag
for the conversion of the members of our
households, as the consequence of efforts put
forth by others elsewhere. We are delegat-
ing our duties to others. The wife is content
if she can only get her husband to accom-
pany her to the church on Sabbath. The
husband thinks he has done his duty when he
requests the prayers of meeting for his
wife. Parents send their children to the Sun.
day School, and expect that they will be con-
verted through the teachers influence; and
the brother who is constant in his labors at
the mission school never thinks of speaking
to his own sister concerning her soul. Of
course, in speaking thus We shall not be con-
sidered as hostile to Sunday Schools and
prayer meetings. The value of these agen-
cies is quite beyond our power to estimate.
But still they should be the allies Of, and not
the substitutes for home effort. The family
is the fountain-head of human feeling, and
all that is hottest, truest, and most tender in
our nature gives its influence to intensity
the force Of the exertions which are there
put forth.
Yet how sadly this central agency is neg
lected We will venture to say that the old
man to whom Mr.. Moody spoke was not the
only husband in the vast assembly who had
never had an earnest and afectionate talk
with his wife on spiritual things. There are
too many such in all our congregations. May
the Master Himself unstring their tongues,
and help them to speak words in season for
Him!

but his friends. We cannot forget his Swiss
chapel on Cemetery Hill.
The Presbytery of Baltimore was founded
in what Biologists might call the azoic period
of Presbyterisnism, so far as the west Of
Maryland was concerned. And yeti show
ed life, and has since 1884 dispersed abroad
some valuable fossils. Small in its begin
ming, it reached kind of Oolitic period
when its eagles began to soar, and perch on
trees of Righteousness which the Lord had
planted that He might be glOrifed. There
is spiritual as well as natural geology
Long before this time, Francis Mackenzie, who
died in 17O8, had planted Presbytery, the
seat of which was Snow Hill or the Eastern
shore of Maryland. This has been made
clear in the letters of Spence to the Rev.
Robert Laird, who was pastor of the Prin-
cess Anne kirk. Irving Spence was young
lawyer, one of whose ancestors had signed
the solemn " League and Covenant" )" 1884
was curious year. DR.. Coke arrived in
Baltimore and made Ashbury Bishop of the
United States, and then politely asked the
Stafordshire gentleman to allow him an
equal share of the extensive Diocese. He
was refused by him who had obtained the
power. The transaction awoke the wrath of
Wesley. In that same year, Seabury hur-
ried to Lambeth to procure the tactual, but
the Archbishop turned to him his cold
shoulder, and then he hied away to Aber-
deem, and obtained it from so-called bishops
whose nOn.juring acts were diSOwned in Eng
land. But in three years afterwards, White
obtained the JUNCTION on condition that he
would perform no Episcopal act within the
British Empire. A half amounting was bet
ter than none at all. But these papers must
not be controversial.
In a modest endeaVOr after the maltums in
0aTv0, sundry particulars must be omitted,
some of which are really interesting. My
limits are prescribed. DR.. Balch was quite
a handsome man. As pupil of Wither-
spoon he preferred to oficiate in gown,
which added something to his good looks
One of his portraits was taken in the White
House at Washington, by Earle, of Nash
vile. His voice was load and sonorous, and
as he advanced in his subject, he became
animated. His texts were
often taken from the Proverbs of Solomon,
and from the minor prophets. He was well
adapted to polished circles, but fond of TAX
ing tea with the humblest of his flock. Moth
ing could deprive him of his natural cheer
fulness. As far as money was concerned he
was generous to fault. He never read
discourse from any one of the various pull
pits in which, he preached He never pub
ished any except two discOurseS on the Per-
severance of the Saints, and Reply to
Adam Freeman on Infant Baptism. The
ast was written in obedience to the request
IF his Presbytery. In 1918 he received the
loctOrate from Princeton, and he died in
1888, greatly lamented by all
in the town.
