THE FULNEss OF BLEssIsF. By Sarah (. Smiley.
A y. E kanGolpa x =, New York.
Every Christian wheS Interested enough in the
sutiect of this book to 4 it, will be pro6ted by
it and every Chlsua; git to be Interested 10
the subject, for none of greater Importance,
and few are surround th more practical DIN
cultis9 Every Chri processes to have been
transformed bv he "a ng of his mind, and to
have consecratrd h wholly TO the service OF
OF God All this is bed up IN the passage Of
Scripture, He died 81, that they which live'
should not hencefo, e unto themselves, but
ITO Him who died sm and rose again" Bot
every Christian WI Des his heart and HE,
not unfrquently, hipselt with bitterness
because he canp5S ~ thas he is in heart
and life what he prOisssts to be. Most commonly,
perhaps, we quiet our alarm by referring our coD'
fessed shortcomings to the irremedable imperfec
tion of our fallen nature. But our conscience is
startled from It's defence when we are told that
short of perfection there is degree Of sancti'
tifoatiou really attainable by all Christians which
is far above our state. And earnest, sober-mindec
believers, with humility, but with steadfastness
avouCh that this degree they have attained. Thi
is sometimes called the Higher Life. Towards TIE
advocates of the Higher Life doctrine is sometimes
felt the same opposition which is entertained
against those who are styled PerfectioniSts, bu
unreasonable. The doctrine of Perfection, uules
explained away by limitations, leaving but little
meaning of the word, seems SO manifesty opposed
to the Word Of God, and SO pslpsbly irreconCilab'
with the facts of human nature, that we do no
feel called on to take it into serious consideration
But when our fellow-helievcrs come and urge US t
ascend to higher plant Of Christian experience
we can refuse to listen only at our peril. This TIT
author of the Fulness Of Blessing does, in man
ner SO earnest and devout that the heart must b
iusensible that remains unimpressed. The topic
most insisted on are unreseTved conservation and
quiet acquicscenca in the gu dance of the Hol!
Spirit. As doctrine, this is nothing new, But i
may be new thing to many to putt into prsctica
application, in the measure which is urged upon u
in this volume. Resolutely to set ourselves to at
tain deeper spiritual mindednesS is painful disci
pine and we are ready to seek for excuses to avoid
il. The Christian who is content with his presen
spiritual state and is unwilling to be disturbed il
his repose, may find in this book itself, and il
what is personal to the author, enough to FORTH!
his repuguance to exsrtiOn. But the soul that i
struggling with disquiet, and reaching out fo
something better than it enjoys or the soul tina
stands hesitatng upon the boundary line between
what it is, aud what it fam would be, will fad il
this volume what will stimulate, strengthen, and
it may be, impart lsstiug impulse TO its Christian
conrse. 8. L. @.

BURNING OF A PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
On Sunday last, the It'll inst, the Preoby-
terrain church Of Portsmouth, Va, took fire
il rhe ceiling, and was soon reduced to q
ruin. 1t was during the hour of morning
worship, and all the furniture was saved
The edifce was valued at $4,000, and was
insured for $4,000 The statement is that
this deplorable event was caused by defec-
tive fue-the source of most church fires,
Can no remedy be discovered for detsctlve
tiues9
This is sad calamity fallen upon our
brethren in Portsmouth. Under their late
pastor, the Rev. D. G. irwin, and their pre-
sent pastor, Rev, j. NJ. Rose, they had strug-
gled hard to build this church, and were
steadily gaining strength and encouragement
and becoming more and more Efficient in al
good works. The sympathy and helping
hand Of our people will not be withheld from
those who have SO MOLLY striven to help both
themselves and others.

rising "Alp high in mOltOn silenOe, " and round

rising Alp high in motion silence, end round

GiSteS Of night:

Was the breaking Of the flush Of morning over

star;

sound,
In the law of graytaton, holding motion to ats
bound !"
These lines which we have emphasized are as
true science as they are most noble poetry. Here
are two very fne verses:
'Voice of Silence thou art speaking from the stone
sealed lips of sleep,
That without sound motion in its spell all souno
doth keep;
In whose swaddling clothes unfolden lie, too pure
Graded in mortll creature, Life and Death, like
sleeping tlo|RS.
Silence on the pald acecloth Silence on the snowy
grave;
Silence in the sleeping city Silence far below the
wave;
Silence as of music numbering on her harp within
the deep;
Sound is but the dream OF Silence-Silencs taking
ia ats sleep"
The author holds bis sui ject 10 his hand as he
would many sided gem, and turns its facets this
way aad that gathering from every source, and
concentrating upon it, the richest rays of light.
