Bowling to God.

1t was dark, dismal day The clouds
were low and heavy The fog swept in and
out of the broad bay. The wind sounded
mournfully around the corners, and through
the branches of the trees which swayed to
and fro like bending giants. The outlook
was anything but inspiring, and the minister
found it hard to study. Nothing could sug-
gest itself worth putting into a sermon on
such day as that Natures book, which
was often so rich with new material had its
pages blotted by the titful showers, and
shaded by the clouds so that it presented
but medley of unmeaning characters. A
little boy of three years, standing with his
sober face close to the window, looking out
upon the sombre scene, got nearer to ma
lures secret, for, turning at length, he ex-
claimed, Mamma the trees are bowling to
God" What a thought for a child Per-
haps this little boy will never be a minister,
but his words are worthy to be the text for
little sermon. The trees bow TO God +;
the storms fulfill his pleasure the winds
tell Of his power. Why should not all men
worship him We are polite to one another,
sometimes almost TO fault, One who has
been well trained will not meet casual ac-
quaintance upon the street without a bow.
One who carefully observes the rules of eti-
quette would feel bound TO ask pardon for
any slight neglect of civility. Frequently
those whom we despise are sauted with
great apparent respect; but there are many
who never bow TO God. Some who read
these words have never bowed the knee or
humbled their heart before their Creator
and Saviour The trees bent before an out
ward force, 1t was the wind which bowed
their heads. 1t has been said of Jesus, To
him every knee shall bow" Some will not
bow to him while he is on the mercy-seat
but will wait until the tempest OF his dis
pleasure smites them down. 1t is better To
submit to Christ now. We who show such
Difference TO unworthy felow-beings, why
should not our hearts yield in penitence tc
the God who made us and the Saviour who
has died for us ? There is grandeur il
the sight of whole forest bending before
the storm, but there is more beauty in {
lily bowling its head with the weight OF Z
dewdrop So it will be grand to see all the
nations PROSTATE before Jesus the pre- uC
and stubborn side by side with the good anC
holy but it will be far better if we hav,
owned Jesus as Lord in this world. Their
is more true beauty in one lowly hear
which il humbled with gratitude, than il
all the nations of sinners falling before God
power. Who will yield TO the Spirits gra
cious influence which falls now like tn
gentle dew 2-Chrisiidn Mirror.

4" Borne OF Four"

"They came unto him, bringing one sick
of the palsy, which was borne of four"
The rest of the story is well known. "Jesus
saw their faith the faith of the perse-
vering four-and the sick man was made
we'll in body and soul. Whoever these four
were, whether some of the family or only
friends and neighbors of the afflicted one,
they had a real interest, and enough of it,,
too, to lead them TO combine in earnest
effort. One could not bring him to Jesus,
nor two, nor three; but the four, with their
quadruple, loving, planning, working, and
silent praying, brought their helpless charge
within reach of the eye and voice of the
Teacher, and with what blessed results !
Have not faithful Christian workers lesson
full of encouragement here? An individual
laborer has power for good, it is true. His
prayer and effort often accomplish wonders.
But add his faith and zeal to another's
and they are more than doubled. Warmth
of contact produces growth, aside from ag
gregation. Let a third and fourth Join in
love and prayer, and the strength increases
not wholly in proportion to the numbers
but manifold. A full prayer-meetng, for
instance, how 1t glows with inspiration
How the fire runs from heart to heart, and
how fast the blessings fall. 1t is because
Jesus " sees their faith in coming together,
and he will not refuse their large demand ;
and if the g" two or three" are sure of the re-
ward they desire, much more the "four 3"
multiplied Union is aggressive. The con-
quering enthusiasm of a "praying band" or
any other band formed for good work, is
only natural. They have a conscious strength
which the lone worker lacks They sur
mount all obstacles, crowding multitudes,
opposing walls, or whatever the hindrance,
and, breaking through the very roofs with
their vigorous faith, bring their needs. elo-
quent with mute pleading, face to face with
Jesus. Parent, teacher, friend, let us get

Lost In the Woods.

Mr.. Royal Adams, his wife, and five-year-
old son, were visiting MIR. Adams father, at
Lordville on the borders of Pennsylvania.
On Tuesday July 3d, the little boy wandered
off. There is a dense forest OH the outskirts
of the town. neighbor had seen the child
going in that direction. A search was made
for him by his father but he could not be
found. The entire village then joined in the
search 1t was kept up all day aud all night.
During the night violent storm of wind,
rain, thunder and lightning passed over the
vicinity Trees were blown down and struck
by lightning around the searching party in
the woods. There were several narrow es-
capes from death, but there was no cessation
in the hunt.
No trace of the boy being found, aud a
catamount having been seen in the vicinity
only a day or SO before, and bears being
known to be plenty, it was the belief oil
many that the child had been devoured, Al
sunrise, July ith, however, the father, who
was about TO give up the search in despair
discovered his boy in hollow stump, high
in the mountain, two miles from Lordville
On being called, he sprang from the stump
aud clung TO his fathers neck, almost crazeC
with joy.
He had gone to the woods to hunt flow
ers, he said. lie had wandered about al
day Tuesday, calling for his papa. At nigh
he crept, crying, into the stump. lie called
several times for his papa, when, he says {

came round. Perhaps his heaviest aflliction
Of this sort was q debt Of twenty pounds.
II had been forced upon him by unexpected
and unavoidable needs. Its payment would
be exacted as soon as due, but he saw no
way to meet IL. For him IL was an enor-
nous sum. The last week before settle
ment day came, aud the thought of the debt
burdenod him almost beyond endurance.
How could he prepare sermon and preach
on the Sabbath, worried all the time more
and more with the dread of Mondays reck-
oning Sunday morning he went into the
pulpit with only the cry of his heart for a
text Help me, 0 Lord my GodP' He
named it from the twenty-sixth verse of the
one hundred and ninth Psalm, and preached.
Theme and matter unfolded abundantly,
and he spoke with a fluency and freedom
that surprised himself. He continued the
sermon in the afternoon, and failing to ex-
haust the subject he continued 1t In the
evening. Never in all his life before had
he had so many thoughts on human depend
ence and the divine aid. Among other ap-
plications he dwelt in turn on the need of
divine help in temptation, and told, to Illus
trato it, the story OF man once high in
honorable reputation, and in moral and even
religious standing, who was appointed execu.
torol large estate, coveted the Wealth, used
it, lost it, and was driven by the disgrace to
suicide "Ah, if when first tempted that
man had called Oh God to help him resist
and be honest" At the close Of the even
ing's service a gentleman requested to see
him in private. II was young man at
whose mothers funeral the minister had
ofiiciated some time before. The two passed
into the vestry together, and then the young
stranger said 81 have confession to make.

Conscience Money.

None but those who have had the expert
ence OF it can know now divine help is
planned for humble Christians in distress,
and how strangely they are sometimes made
to prepare the way for such help themselves
A remarkable instance is given in the follow
ing English story OF Mr., Gadsby Lanca-
shire clergyman. lie was very childlike in
his faith, aud firmly believed that God al
ways does right, but in this worlds goods
he was very poor With his utmost stint

Something in the Bed.

Judge Pitman has a habit of slipping his
watch under his pillow when he goes TO bed.
The other night somehow it slipped down,
and as the Judge was restless, it gradually
worked its way downward toward the foot
of the bed After hit, while he was lying
awake, his foot touched it, and as it felt
very cold, he was surprised and scared, and
jumping from his bed, he said

Mrs. Pitman gave loud scream, and WAS

"Now, don't go to hollering and waking

we'll fix this thing mighty quick"
Mrs. Pltman got the broom and gave it
to the Judge, with the remark that She felt
as if snakes were creeping all up aud down
her legs and back.

broom and bang it. Put bucket of water
alongside the bed, too, SOS we can shove il
in and drown it,"
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and gently
removed the covers, The Judge held the
broom uplifted, and as soon as the black
ribbon of the watch was revealed, he cracked
away three or four times with his broom
Then he pushed the thing off into the bucket
Then they took the bucket to the light to
investigate the matter, When the judge
saw what it was, he said;

Supernatural Revelation.


The external evidences of the divine ori-
gin of Christianity have force with many
persons, but these evidences are less salts
factory to the mind than the internal evi
dences and while the former are open to
the examination Of comparatively few, the
latter are patent TO all, Every individual
can try the Bible for himself, whether it
can accomplish for him what it says it can,
and when he has thus put it to the proof
and experienced its singular power, he has a
faith in it which cannot be shaken. lie has
belief which goes down into the depths OF
his spiritual being and forms a part OF his
own personal consciousness lie believes
the Bible TO be divine because he has ielt it
TO be divine; it has told him what no other
book could tell, aud done for him what no
other book could do" How do you know,
with certainty, the truth OF your religion T.
said an inquirer TO an humble, but faithful
disciple. just as | know the sun shines,

and feel its heat" Aud so there are thou
sands aud tens of thousands, competent aud
faithful witnesses, who know, from theil

because they have felt in their own hearts
aud lives its Transforming, and comforting
and sustaining power.-Reiigious Herdid.

OF assuming great deal OF wisdom, aud
concealing great deal OF ignorance.
