IL is Christ, rather than God, whom Chris
tianity has held up to believers as the pat
tern of perfection for humanity. 1t is the
God Incarnate, rather than the God of the
Jews or of nature, who, being idealized, has
taken so great and sautary hold on the
modern mind. And whatever else may be
taken away from us by rational criticism,
Christ is still left ; unique figure not more
unlike all his precursors than all his follow
ers, even those who had the direct benefit Of
his personal teaching. 1t is of no use to say
that Christ, as exhibited in the gospels, is
not historical, and that we know not how
much of what is admirable has been super
added by the traditions of his followers
Who, among his disciples or among theil
proselytes, was capable of inventing the say
ings ascribed to Jesus, or of imagining the
life and character revealed in the gospels
Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee as
certainly not St. Paul, whose character and
idiosyncrasies were of totally different
sort still less the early Christian writers, in
whom nothing is more evident than that the
good which was in them was all derived as
they always protested that it was derived
from the higher source. About the life and
sayings of Jesus there is stamp of personal
combined WIN prolunulty OF III
sight, which, if we abandon the idle specula-
tion of finding scientific precision where
something very different was aimed at, must
place the Prophet of Nazareth even in the
estimation of those who have no belief il
his inspiration, in the very first rank of the
men of sublime genius of whom our specie
can boast. When this pre-eminent genius
is combined with the qualities OF probably
the greatest moral reformer and martyr to
that mission who ever existed upon earth,
religion cannot be said to have made bad
choice in pitching on this man as the ideal
aud guide of humanity; MOI
even now would it be easy, even for an un-
believer, to find a better translation of the
rule of virtue from the abstract into the con
crete, than to endeavor so to live that Christ
would approve our life-John Stuart MIL,

Beautiful Illustration.

There are ponds in the woods of the North
whose waters are so clear, and whose bottoms
are so clean, that they can with truth be
called great pools. have gone to them
every year, not TO fish in them, not to hunt
their shores, but simply to gaze into them.
have gone to them by day, to see the noun
taius in them; to see the sun and the sky,
and the white clouds the trees on the bor-
ders, and the hecked rocks that line their
banks. | have gone to them at night to see
the stars and the moon, and the dark blue
mystery of the frmament when the bright
ness of its cerulean geam, as it glistened al
MONDAY, was tempered and shaded to a So
ber and more grateful tone. And in these
pools,-these grand pier-gass mirrors Of ma
ture,-leaning over the sides OF my boat, |
have seen the world and the sky stand out
with splendor, a beauty, suggestiveness
OF appearance, that the open vision of day
could not bring me. The New Testament
is such pool, in the spiritual world, friends.
The great mountain-like truths of Gods
being and conduct; the evergreen growths
of his daily provldences; the sober but ma
jestic fulfments OF the old prophecies the
star-like facts of life the blue dome OF the
destiny of the race yea, and the cloud-like
passages of his eternal DEGREES, lifted high
above human analysis, moved ON by invisi-
BILE currents of his ordering,-all these are
reflected from the pure depths of the teach
ings of Jesus. And all these you can see, |
can see, all men can see, if they will but
contemplate with earnest, prayerful, soul
seeking vision the sayings of the Son OF Man

A Good Samaritan.

She was very plain-looking woman, with

Cheerfulncss.

A sunny heart is like the sun, light itself
aud shedding light Z" A merry heart doeth
good like a medicine" says the proverb.
All of us have met people whose simple pres
euce was inspiration and benedicti0n. They
changed the blues 10 brightness. When
they came the east wind would yeer around
into a refreshing west wind. How sunny
such a sunny heart makes home You
may have the most elegant home possible,
you may make 1t enticing with all luxury,
but you cannot keep your boys out OF the

you somehow light up in that home of yours

magnet as cheerful heart. remember a
brilliant woman, fascinating in company,
but at home moody and pining aud glun
with discomfort, and the result an alien
ated husband and shattered home. And
there is many wife working away with
dull heart aud listless hands at the long
routine of household care, whose home and
duty have become q kind of prison, chill
and damp, because the husband brings but
ashes TO the household hearth instead of a
glowing cheer, A few thoughtful, appre-
eatiye words from a kindly heart with a
loving cheer would change that prison 10 a
palace. Cheerfulness is like Christ, it can
not help going about aud doing good, And

Worried to Death.

Ii is the worry more than the work of life
that wears one out. IL is the little cares
and trials that unnerye us. For great crises
we can grid ourselves with fortitude, but
we are overcome by trites. 1t is the gnats
and mosquitoes of life that wear out our pa
tience it is the little foxes that spoil the
vines. The irksome duties of the nursery
and the needle are more wearing on both
mind and body than the severest toll. A
patient housewife or seamstress deserves no
less honor than the brave soldier. Alexan-
der the Great was happy in the excitement
of battle, and in the tedious march, but
when his wars were over, he is said TO have
fretted himself to death because he could
not make the ivy grow in his garden in
Babylon. A grain Of sand under the eyelid
will often cause more real suffering than
the amputation of a limb. The man or wo-
man who has TO do with the smallest tasks
has a more imperative call TO be heroic, but
much less of inspiration, than one whose
years are passed in tumut and excitement.
God only, and the troubled heart that bears
them, can know how hard it is to endure
never-ending monotouy of little trials and
tasks. But whether our duties are small or
great whether in the sick-room or nursery,
the workshop or the office, in every case the
secret of happy and successful life is this
Not to worry; never to worry. We are to
work with cheerful heart, and bear our
burdens with patience, trusting in the Lord.
The highest form OF manhood is to do the
will of God with childike trust and dill
gence, and let the Lord bear the cares of to-
day and Tomorrow. Consider the lily OF
the field-how it bends to the storm, opens
TO the sunlight, and rests in the watchful
care of God II is refreshed by showers
from above, and the waters from beneath
1t waits on Providence and swings its cen,
ser full OF sweet incense of gratitude. 1t i,
an emblem of peace and trustfulness, preach
ing against worry aud solicitude, and here
is its sermon Ii God so clothe the grass
OF the field, which to-day is and tomorrow i.
cast into the oven, how much more shall he
clothe you, o ye OF little faith l"-interior,

She stirred and frightened the fire, brought
in water, then went to the house opposite for
some needed article, and told them OF the
sick woman, and begged them to come over
If they could before night. Then she walked
swiftly back to the house she had left. Her
cheerful face and ready hand brought sun
shine to the lonely sufferer. She made ready
the bed, and by careful nursing averted fever,
drove away pain, brought sleep to the young
mother, and gave food to the child. She
toiled all the afternoon at her self-appointed
task. She put the kitchen in order, and pre-
pared the husbands supper Then, with Il
simple word of Christian love and cheer, she
took her heavy bag and trudged off two miles
in the moonlight to the house of friend
The neighbors from the opposite house
came over just at night after the need OF
their help was over. And !, sitting at home
wrapped in indifference, did not know Wk0

Pharisee, or any other stupidity neglectful and
wicked being | might hare knoion, and
might have cared in a human way for M
neighbor. The people opposite might have
known, too. But they had no time TO spare
for the sick woman, even after they wer.
told of her sickness and need. 1t was a Sa-
marian who cared for the wounds of the
man lying by the roadside. 1t was a woman,
full Of business, fighting so manfully this
worlds hard fight, who had time, aud heart,
and patience to save mother, like herself,
and little child, from long suffering, and,
perhaps, from fatal fever When heard OF
that Kindness and helpfulness, thought OF
the divine pity of Jesus, aud that the same
spirit dwelt in the heart of that working
woman. thought, too, of Christ's graciou,
words, Whosoever shall give to drink unto
one of these little ones a cup of cold water
only, in the name of disciple, verify | say
unto you, he shall in no wise lose his re-

Pulpit RellectOrs.


DIR. Lyman Beecher used to say that the
reason why his ministry was so blessed to
the salvation of men, was that he had so
many pulpit rellectors in the Christians who
lived out aud diffused in every practical
way the gospel which he proclaimed. A
light placed alone scatters its beams on
every hand, but number of well-placed re-
feotors can concentrate and reflect its rays,
and cause them TO reach places where the
direct rays of light never would 90 so these
pulpit reilectors, these Christians who take
the gospel up into their lives, and who talk
it, aud act it, and live it from day to day,
multiply the preachers usefulness an hun
dred fold, aud carry down into the deep and
hidden corner where sin and darkness lurk
those beams Of light which, without their
aid, would never reach the souls that sit in
the shadow of death. We need more pulpit
reilectors. Let the minister OF the gospel
preach with all fidelity, and then let Chris,
tians on every hand take up the words of
life which he proclaims, aud reflect and re-
echo them, aud bear them to the souls which
walk in darkness and yet long TO behold
Gods marvellous light, even the light OF the
knowledge of the glory OF God, in the face
of Jesus Christ.-1he Christian,
