How to Cultivate the Imagination,

The practical question for the teacher who
desires to improve and enlarge his imagina-
ion is, How can do it? First, you can
famliarize yourself with the exact meanings
and the nice uses of words by the study of
synonyms. You can be careful in your daily
conversation to avoid false, or vicious, or low
forms of expression, under which head 1
group everything which belongs to the die
;ionary of slang, andyou can be equally care
full to speak we'll. A little care in the choice
of words at home, and in your ordinary talk,
would be repaid. If we were half SO earnest
in the formation of our habits of converse
tion as we are in trying to gain other accom-
plishments, there would be great additional
charm given to the intercourse of society.
Bear in mind that simplicity is elegance, and
pedantry is generally only transparent self
conceit. The word which most directly con-
v4ys your meaning is the best vehicle of
your thought.
Secondly, you can read every day some
good, strong, terse author, whose style will
insensibly form and color yours. Needing
to give scope and vigor to your imagination,
read, after the Bible, Shakespeare and Mil
ton. Never be without some volume which
will help and feed you, and stimulate your
own thoughts to new fights Margaret b.

THERE Is LIGHT BEYOND.

Beyond the stars that shine in golden glory,
Bey nd the calm, sweet moon,
Up the bright ladder saints have trod before thee,
Soul, thou shalt veuture soon.
Secure with Hi who sees thy heart-siok yesrninC
sac in HIS arms of tove
Thou shalt exchsng- the midnight for the morning
And thy fair home above.
Oh it is swees to watch the worlds night wearing
The Sabbath morn come on,
And sweet it were the vineyard labor sharing
Sweeter the labor done
All 6nished all the eon6ietand the sorrow,
Earth's dreams OF anguish Ger,
Dsathless there dawus for thee, q nghtless morrow
On Eden's blissful shore.
Patience then, patience Soon the pAag of dying
Shall all forgotten be,
And thou through rolling spheres rejoicing, flying
Beyond the waveless ssa,
Shalt know hereafter where thy Lord doth lead thee,
His darkest dealings trace,
And by those fountains where his love will feed thee,
Behold him face to face
Then bow thine head, and God shall give thee
msekness
Brsvely to do His will;
So shall arise his glory in thy meekness-
o strugg ing soul, be still
Dark clouds are His pavilion shining o er thee;
Thine heart must recognize
The veied Sheehinsh moving on before thee,
Too bright to meet thine eyes.
Behold the wheel that straighty moves, and Asetly
Performs the Soyereignis word
Thou knOwest His suffering love, then suffering
meekly
Follow thy loving Lord
Watch on thy tower and listen by the gateway,
Nor weep to wait alone;
Take thou by spices, and some angel straightWay
Shall roll away the stone.
Then shalt thou tell thy living Lord hath risen,
And risen but to save,
Tell of the night that breaks the csptives prison,
And life beyond the grave;
Tell how he met thee, slI his radiance shrouded;
How in thy sorrow came
His plying voice breathing when faith was clouded,
Thine own familiar name.
So at the graves dark portal thou may'st linger
And hum some happy strain;
The passing world may mock the feeble singer,
Heed not, but sing again.
Thus wait thus watch till BE the last link sever,
And ehaDgeless rest be won;
Then in His glory thou shalt bask forever.

beginning of series of mistakes ever since
The compromise was that our Assembly
agreed to send commissioners, and yet ap.
pended DR.. Palmer's statement of grievances,
as published Instructions to them, what to
demand of the other side. This compromise,
like so many others, forfeited all the advan-
tages, and incurred all the Disadvantages
The Omnibus Assembly had just what the
wire pulers' plotted fora pretext to say:
Lo these rebels spurn the olive branch.
They cried out that We, while pretending a
willingness to treat, had flung new indict-
ment in their face--s calculated insult. So
that our answer, while really sustained By
truth and righteousness, pleased neither our
own people nor our enemies"

appropriately. known as "souless corpora

bath, when. protesting Christian stockholders
lack the moral courage to tell presidents and
directors that their property shall not thus
be used. Excursion trains advertise boldly
that they will be run on the Sabbath day,
and this violation of the Law of the State and
of God, is NOT noticed. Twenty five years
ago such an occurrence was not tolerated BY
public opinion, : People, in good standing i.
churches, make use of the Sunday trains il

a-days, and delivered at our door on Sunday.

The POWER OF PERsoNALITY.-It is idle
to ignore the part which strong personality
plays 10 the ministry Of the truth. Much of
tho current teaching finds acceptance more
from the weight of authority which attaches
TO the name of the teacher than from the in.
trinsic excellence of the word. There is
power going forth from large natures that
has been yelled beneath the convenient term
personal magnetism" But, call it what We
will, the power is there. Consciously or un-
consciousl y, We all pay tribute to it. 1t is
not the result of an intense vitality, or of in
tellectual gifts, or of an emotional nature
1t is the result of ALL 1t is the personality
of the man. We cannot divorce the word
that is said from the voice that says it.

"FRATERNAL RELATIONS"

A series of articles on this subject, so much dis
cussed for years past appeared first in the South
Western Presbyterian, under the signature of "Mod
erate," and has been copied into other papers oi
our Church. A few weeks ago we published the
concluding number (he 6th) in which the writer
gives summary of the whole. A purpose was then
i tmated of giving our readers full outline OF it
all together, with such special extracts as would
give just impression of the authors views. For
this purpose the outline view presented below has
been prepared. While in some respects we cannot
agree with the opinions of our esteemed brother
there are others in which, with the vast body of our
people, we are heartily of the same mind.-CEN.
