I" When Jesus Comes 7"

There is one very sweet sense in which
Jesus comes" to his own followers in
these days. He does not come in fleshly
form, as he did eighteen centuries ago nor
does he come amid clouds and celestial
splendors, as he will at the final judgment.
But in spirit-seen by the eye of faith
Jesus draws delightfully."- near to those who
seek for his presence. lie comes TO the
awakened penitent who cries out to him,
4" Come aud take away my stony heart, and
make it heart of flesh" If any one doubts
this, let him feryenty call upon that wonder
working Saviour who visited the house of
Jairus, aud the tomb at Bethany. He is
very close at hand, my awakened and anx-
ious friend. Already you may hear his knock
at your heart, aud his loving voice. /" If thou
wilt open the door, will come in unto thee
and sup with thee, and thou with me-"
Hasten to let him in When Jesus comes
in, he will bring pardon for your sins. When
Jesus comes, he will bring light, and Joy,
and such true peace as you never tasted be-
fore. He will not be satisfied with a closet
or a corner OF your heart, or with paltry
share of your thoughts grudgingly given.
lie wants every room-your faculties, affec-
tions and will, must all be surrendered to
him. The key to your purse must be his
too. Don't plead that you are not worthy
that he should come under your roof. He
loves to stoop to the lowly spirit. lie will
bring his own entertainment with him when
he "sups with you. You will be fed with
more than angels food when the King sit
teth at the table. This is the very essence
of conversion; 10 turn sin out of the dooi
and convert your heart into dwelling-plact
| ior the sinners Friend.
" Admit him, for the human breast
Neer entertained so kind guest
Admit him, aud you won't expel,
For where he comes he comes to dwell"
The richest and most joyous hours in a
believers experience are those in which he
tastes of Christ's presence in close spiritual
communion. Sometimes when feasting Oh
such words as those in the 18th chapter OF
John, sometimes at the Lords table some
times in secret prayer, Jesus comes into the
soul Just as he did into that upper-room
where the disciples were assembled. The
believer feels the warmth aud light of hi,
countenance His left-hand is under oul
head, and his right-hand doth embrace us
We can roll oil our cares and worries anC
doubts upon his everlasting arm. Such
times of close companionship with Jesui
are our holiest and happiest hours this sid,
of heaven. Into sick-rooms where his chill
dren lie, Jesus often comes, No physician
visits so faithfully. Noble old llalyburton
of Scotland, said one morning to his family
"Jesus came TO me in the third watch o
last night, walking upon the waters. Ill

saying that Solomon says, "The diligent
hand maketh rich" Aud it is true, indeed
but he considers not that it is not in the
power of riches to make man happy; for
it is wisely said by man of great observa-
ton that there may be as many miseries
beyond riches as on this side of them"
Aud yet, God deliver us from pinching pow
erty, and grant that, having a competency,
we may be content aud thankful Let us
not repine, or so much as think the gifts of
God unequally dealt, if we see another abound

restless nights, even when others sleep

RetributiOn.

When mother disregards the laws OF
health in the treatment of her little one, no
matter from what cause, she suffers in the
care, toll of nursing, and anxiety regarding
the child in whose system she allowed to be
laid the foundation of disease. And it will
not alter the case that she did not know the
laws she violated, or did not think of them,
or was so placed that she could not pay to
them deserved respect. Inexorabe law is
asserted, and she is punished. When man
eats or drinks what does not conduce to the
h althy nourishment oil the body he suffers
for it sooner or later. Nor will it avert the
penalties that he can plead his ignorance of
the effect of his indulgence. The diseased
brain or disordered stomach vindicates the
dignity of law. When lady deceives her
husband in the matter of expense, obtains
goods on credit when he wishes to buy only
with cash, she endures the consequences
when bills come at length, in the Just dis
pleasure of her husband, in the loss of his
confidence, and perhaps, later, in the evil in
iluence of her example on her children,
That she has excuses, reasons of her own,
and the like, will not avert these sore evils.
When parents make the one son a plaything,
forget their obligations to train and restrain
him, indulge his every whim and foster
every form of self in him, in self-assertion,
self pleasing, self-wll and self-indulgence,
they reap as they sowed in the young tyrant,
who rules them before he is in his teens,
and breaks their hearts before he has at.
tanned his majority. That they loved him,
or did not think of the future, or had but
the one, is no barrier to the flood of misery
Men can see this principle in operation on
the narrow field of individual or family life
but they are slow to notice it, and still
more slow to lay it to heart, for practical
uses, ON the broader field of social and ma
tional life. When we allow an ignorant
and vicious population to grow up in the
community we are punished by the ex-
ample, the contaminated atmosphere, the
injuries inflicted the costly defenses agaiIkt
the evil, or the expensive machinery Tor de
tecting and furnishing the criminals The
school is cheaper and better than the Jail
the Sunday-school and the church are better
than the police court. Let us ignore tn,
cheap aud needful agency, and we must, in
tardy seli-defence, provide the costly aud
imperfect remedies Tor the consequences OF

READY TO DEPART

Her step grows slower on the iowery swari;
Friend after friend draws nigh with aching heart,
Aud whispers. " 10, the handmade OF the Lord
Is ready TO depart"
They ask her II she weeps for summers flown.
For the old hopcs-the old loves tried and truei
She answers, " lie that sitteth ON the throne
Saith | make all things new"
They ask her II she feels no vain regret
For Joys that stand like earth's ungathered grain
Sht answers, " Christ hath richer harvests yet;
For me to die is gain"
They ask her II she has no tear TO shed
For her old home amid the pleasant lands7
She answers, " God shall giyeme In its stead
A house not made with hands"
Thus calmly trusting In the saviour's grace
She rests upon the margin Of the tide
And sees the light of her fair dwellng-place
Upon the other side.

ONE LIFE.

The Angel Of Death came down,
And knocked at the door Of heart
The heart Of maiden. shudderlngly
She cried, "Oh. Death, DEPART
For am too young and fair" she said,
:" TO lay me down with the mouiderlng dead"
The years sped on, and the maid
Was n woman. wan and white;
The hearts pure blossoms OF worth and truth
Were crushed by deadlicst blight.
"Ah come. most welcome DEATH" she said.
And let me rest with the quiet dead"
And an Angel came-not Death
But Mercy. on wings OF love;
Then that penltent heart threw wide the door,
And was linked TO the Christ above.
Now In nv time, o God" she said,
" shall sleep in peace with the righteous dead.'
