Spiritual LOVE.

The preachers now kneeI down by

in their ears words of consolation and
aim TO direct them TO the cross. There Is
little occurrence which perhaps would
not attract the attention OF less wicked
person than an editor. 1t may be a
wicked thought out can't help it. The
minister is n young man; the mourner Is
u Young woman with comely lace and
a pretty figure. 1t does seem that the
young preacher is more interested in her
salvation than that OF the male sinners
on either side OF her. And IT does
seem that when he lie, ms down to talk TO
t4ce entirely beneath the rich curls
which cluster around her head, and

when his arm enclrcles her shoulders that

A CALL TO SINNERS.

The afternoon sermon Is over, and al
invitation mas been extended to the un
converted to come forward To the mercy
seat, or IN camp meeting parlanCe, the
"mourner's bench" A dozen penItent
sinners arise from their seats, press for
ward, kneel down, and the sgonizing
groans which are soon heard
testify to tie bitternes; of their
grief for the sinful lives they
nave lived In the past. The preachers
leave the stand and gather around the
altar, and the official laymen do like
wise. The singing preacher starts II
familiar bymn, the entire congregation
JOIN in the chorus, and u thousand voices
sing the praises Of their Redeemer and
King. As they sing
But none of the ranSOmed ever knew
How deep We're the waters crossed;
Nor how dark was the night that the
Lord passed through
Ere lie found HIS sheep that was los"
No one stops TO reflect that the expert
ence OF the Master was that of every true
disciple who makes it duty in an humble,
quiet way to 60 about doing good, yet
none who enjoy his benetactlons ever
think OF the sacrifices made to relieve
suffering humanity. Humanity is always
benefited by the work OF u good man,
yet humanity never learns TO appreciate
his services.

like to see one who could write up the

they were, and what WIS good enough
