We need to have our memories charged
with the very words of God, as the
Lord Jesus had. They should be as
arrows hid in our culver. The Holy
Spirit will guide our memories when
they become thus the storehouse of
truth in bringing out the word in sea-
son; but we are not warranted to ex-
pect that Spirit to do for us what we
ought to do for ourselves.
Another good exercise in recalling
passages to mind is to take chapter in
a Bible with marginal references, and
instead of turning to the different verses
referred to. endeavor to remember and
repeat them correctly before searching
them out, looking afterwards (if in any
doubt to see if there has been any
mistake. Or, selecting word or sub
iect, fist repeat to yourself, and then
find all the passages you can yourself
remember, and then write them down.
Do this without the help of concord
ance in the first instance, and then use
your concordance to supply what is
lacking
AccustOm yourself, whenever a text
is spoken of, or comes to mind, to find
it in your Bible. There is great value
in knowing chapter and verse you can
then easily turn to it again when its
precious teaching is again required.
We again earnestly advise the learn
ing, not merely of detached texts, but
of whole books and chapters, and the
repetition of them, with strict accuracy
mot IA syllable to be missed or added
from one to another as opportunity may
be afforded

A Great Bore.

The SutrO tunnel, which was finished
Monday night, is one of the great en-
cheering projects of modern times,
S4,0O0,000 and eight years. time having
been spent in its completion. -Four
miles it runs under ground, straight as
an arrow, to strike the rich silver de-
posits of the COmstOck lode, 1900 feet
under Virginia City, New, at which
depth it is so hot that water is often at
temperature of 100 degrees, and
miners can handle the pick but five
minutes at time before stopping to
cool off. Heretofore 5000 tons of waste
rock have been daily hOisted that great
distance, and the mines have been kept
from flooding by pumping the water
into system of csterns 200 feet apart,
at an expense of some S2,000,0O0 an
nually. Now the water can run out
through the tunnel, and the ore on
which Congress has given the tunnel
company the right to charge two dollars
ton, can be conveyed on its double
track, while Carson river at the tunnels
mouth can be utilized to send com
pressed air into the mines, to cool and
ventilate them and drive machinery
The SutrO company expect to realize
largely on town laid out at the mouth
of the tunnel, as well as from the act
of Congress which gives them all mines
not previously owned for 1000 feet
each side of their line.

Love for Christ.

If, however, we really and truly be-
long to the Lord Jesus Christ, then is it
our happy privilege to surrender our
selves wholly to him, and to let the one
grand object of our life be, to serve the
blessed Master. Deep, intense, per
sOnal love for Christ, springing out of
an apprehension of his bOundless love
to us, as revealed in the holy scriptures,
is what we should ardently long after;
for what will not love accomplish The
most heroic, wOndrOus deeds are upon
record, as having been achieved by
man out of love for his fellow man and
shall we do less for Jesus, who gave
himself for us? Oh, that we had his
deep, yearning, intense compassion for
perishing sinners then should we truly
hunger, and thirst, and labor, for the
salvation of the lost.
True personal affection for Christ,
will also lead us to love others, even
the most unlovely, for his names sake ;
and the poor, needy disciples of the
Lord, will have special claim upon
us. Permit me to ask, what are you
doing for them What real self denial,
dear friends, are you exercising. that
you may be able to give, and to give
literally, to the poor, the sick, and the
afflicted, who belong to Jesus Shall
we offer to him that which costs us
nothing or shall we not rather spend
and be spent in acting according to his
blessed mind, and long that the spirit
of the Master may pervade our entire
being? Our money, time, and talents,
all we have, and all we are, belong to
our precious Saviour. Do we love,
minister to, and care for, any that are
his, he counts it as done unto himself :;
and we shall most assuredly be richly
recOmpensed, in the day of his appear
ing.
Think, | pray you, of the joy here
after, of hearing those blessed words of
commentator, "COme, We blessed of
my Father, inherit the Kingdom pre-
pared for you from the foundation of
the world for | was an hungered, and
We gave me meat, / was thirsty, and We
gave me drink, was stranger, and
We took me in; naked, and We clothed

We have done it unto one of the least of

unto Mrs. Geo. Muller.

Bible knowledge.

A great deal has been said about
reading the Bible, and not too much ::
but we think scarcely enough has been
urged of the importance of learning
scripture by heart. 1.-two young work
ers, who happen to be special friends,
would agree i'll committing portions to
memory, and repeating the passages
learnt to one another day by day, it
would be found an incalculable help.
Consecutive passages-a whole Epistle.
for example-shOuld be thus learned.
and six verses daily would not be too
much for a lesson. On Sundays, instead
of fresh portion, there might be a
perfecting of what has been done in the
week, and the repetition of all from
friend to friend. Ii, in a busy life,
there seems lack of time for this, an
open Bible in the morning on the dress
ingtable, from which verse by verse
could be taken, would make the lesson
for the day easily mastered. Nothing
for the purposes inquired about will
stand in place of correct knowledge
of the letter of scripture shadowy
idea of text will not avail in speaking
comfort or instruction to a soul, or in
answering the objections of an enemy

Help the Boys.

Buy tools for your boys, and if Won
have no boys, buy tools for your girls
1t will not harm any girl to learn to
drive nail or SAW a board and do it
well, and if she knows how, she will,
without any doubt, many times find it
convenient, no matter what may be her
fortune in life. For every one, it will
be il great advantage to cultivate me-
clanlcal skill-no one has too much of
it. Nothing will be handler, OF be ac-
ceptable on more occasions than to know
how to Use IL few common tools. To
begin with, the outfit need not cost over
so, but we will say S25. For this he
may buy square, Il jack plane, IL
smoothing plane, a hand AK, hammer,
a draw shave, some dividers, IL bit-stOck
and half Il dozen bits, a halfdozen chisels,
Il bench screw, Il small bench he can
make Il few files, Il milestone, IA hand
saw, Il Screw-driver. Theu with the
rest of the $25, he can buy Il little wire,
an assortment of screws. few of Il
KIND, an assortment of nails, and IL
small quantity of pieces of boards of
various dimensions. The tools should
he of good quality. In IA little time
some of these will he lost or broken,
but what of it ? So is money lost and
thrown away. 1t is profitable train
ing for every one to learn how to use
money properly. To learn, they need
TO begin early under good instruction.
Twenty-Five dollars in money may he
spent i'll a thousand ways for things
which will do less good than the TOOLS
Although this may seem to some large
to pay for tools, S25 would be
considered Il small item as an inher-
lance for ii young man. Then buy the
children some tools and they will learn
TO make many playthings for them
selves, and be less likely to get into
bad company. They will be happier,
wiser, better; they will have stronger
attachment fol home, and IA greater love
for parents, and these are Il priceless
fortune to any young man or woman,
IA fortune which cannot he lost by any
failure of banks or depreciation in real
estate.-Rural Ner Yorker.

Do It Now.

The best time to do anything is at
the first convenient opportunity that
offers after the doing becomes Il neces-
Sity. We would not have man leave
Il hay field, and go mile or two for
tools and appliances to replace broken
tooth i'll Iake-but we would have
him replace it before the rake was again
taken into the field. A strap or il string
may serve to repair broken harness
for the time, but the farmer should no
more think of continuing its use in an
unsafe condition, than the sailor should
think of putting to sea for new vOy
age with the jury masts he had rugged
with which to make port after his spars
had been carried away by gale.
Neither should he neglect to keep
close attention to everything about the
premises. That gate post is an inch
from the perpendicular to-day-not suf-
ticient to attract general notice. 1t will
require but little labor now to put it in
place. Don't wait till it leans six inches
and the gate touches the ground, re-
quiring much effort to swing it. A
loose nut may be discovered by an ex-
animation, which, if left to itself, will
result in break-dow at very incon-
venient time and place. The horses
shoe may be frightened now, if the
necessity be observed, with little trou-
BILE; delay may cause serious injury.
To do things promptly and at the
earliest moment, you will make Just
the difference of allowing You to drive
your work ahead in accordance with
your proposed plans-OI to be driven
to do your work at disadvantage. If
you can choose your time and plough a
field when it is just in the right condi-
ton, you gain-if You are compelled to
plough when either too wet OF too dry,
because other work is driving and you
have no choice, you will lose-and so
with every department of farm work.
If you will keep ahead, well-if not,
your work will keep ahead of you and
when the season is over, you will have
labored more and accomplished less
than your neighbOr who has learned that
delays are dangerous, and does every
thing in season.-Rurdl Ne,v Yorker.

II One of our religious exchanges
boasts of certain church possessing a
lady who saves the congregation where

of wealth, and of high social culture
and position, she makes it her rule and

plain and inexpensive manner as to
throw the whole social influence of the
congregation against extravaganza in

The Lost Found.

One day recently little child strayed
away from her home. 1t happened to
be situated near the edge of dark and
dismal swamp. And sOmehOw-in fol-
lowing Il bird, or a squirrel, or in some
such way-the little creature wandered
into its depths. Night came on and
she could not be found. Father and
mother vainly exhausted their affection
ate search through all probable lOcali-
ties. Then the neighbors were called
in-with like i'll success. Some one
suggested sending for the nearest state
detective, as one whose trained skill
might better guide their further effort /;
and as speedily as possible he was
brought from the nearest city-tive or
six miles away.
Looking over the premises, and con-
sidering all the circumstances, he reach
ed these conclusions: The child is in
the swamp. She cannot have gone very
far it. Worn out with fright and hun
ger and fatigue, she has fallen asleep !;
so that in the double darkness of the
dense swamp, it is impossible now to
find her. She will wake by and by.
Then she will cry as loudly as her
strength will permit. If she be not
rescued then she cannot hold out long.
Reasoning thus, he stationed three
watchers at different places in the edge
of the swamp, so positioned that wher-
ever she might he in the depth beyond
which it was not probable she could
have strayed, they would be likely to
hear her voice.
As the midnight began TO move on
toward the morning, the little forlorn
creature woke and-as had been an
ticipated-began to cry nightly. Her
cry was heard, and, under its guidance,
before very long, all the difficulties were
overcome, and the poor thing was found
in pitiable plight indeed, and brought
out to the arms of her distracted pa
rents.
Is there no lesson in this for world
full of lost and straying souls ? One
thing is sure. God their Father knows
that they are lost, and has organized
process of salvation. Another thing is
sure. He is watching and waiting,
"mOre than they that watch for the
morning." to hear them when, waking
from their sleep of sin, and thoroughly
conscious of the darkness and despair
of their condition, they cry out for
help.
If that awakening child had been
mature enough to reason, and could
have anticipated the plans that would
he laid for its relief, no doubt it would
have felt that its only hope lay in cry
ing out, us loudly us it could, until its
cry should bring that relief. 1t would
not doubt that its parents were looking
for some chance to save it, and so it
would cry in faith.
So with every lost child of sin. God
has organized for you Il salvation. You
can get it by crying out for it. Have
faith. Do all you can. And never fear
that, with your doing and Gods doing,
the lost shall not be found.-Congrega
