THE MODEL .

Well, wife. I've found the model church
worshipped there to-day;
1t made me think Of good old times before
my hairs were gray.
The meetin' house was fner built thah
they were years ago; =.
But then | found when | went In, II wasn't
built for show.
The Sexton didn't sent ne way back by
the door; =,
lie knew that / was old and deaf as well
rs old and poor.
He must have been II Christian, for he leu
me boldly through
The long aisle OF that pleasant church 10
find II pleasant pew.
| wish you'd heard the singin'- ii had the
old time ring
The preacher said with trumpet voice,
"Let all the people sings"
The tune was ~"Coronatlon," and the mu-
sic upward rolled,
Till thought ! heard the angels striking
all their harps Of gold.
My deafness seemed to melt away, my
spirit caught the fire.
Joined my feeble, trembling voice with
that melodlous choir,
And sang rs in my youthful days, "Let
angels prostraLe fall.
Bring forth the royal diadcm and crown
Him Lord of all"
| tell you, wife 1t did me good to sing that
hym once more,
! felt like some wrecked mariner who gets
II glimpse OF shore;
| almost want to lay aside this weather
beaten form
And anchor In the blessed port forever
from the storm.
The preaclin'! well, | can't just tell al
that the preacher said;
| know 1t wasn't written, | know 1t WASH
read;
lie hadn't time to read, for the lightnin
Of his eye
Went passing long from pew to pew, no
passed Il sinner by.
The sermon wasn't ,fowery-'twas simpl,
gospel truth;
1t fitted poor old men like met fitted
hopeful youth.
Twas full of consolation for weary heart,
that bleed,
Twas full Of invitations to Christ-ant
not to creed.
The preacher made sin hideons In Gentile
and in Jews;
He shot the golden sentences straight a
the finest pewS,
And, though | cant see very well, / say
the falling tear
That told me he'll was some way off, an,
Heaven very near.
How'swift the golden moments fed with
in that molly .place!
How brightly beamcd the light from
Heaven from every happy face!
Again | longel for that sweet time whci
friend shall meet with friend,
When congregations n,'er break up ant
Sabbaths have no end.
| hope to meet that minister, the congrc-
CATION. too,
In the dear home beyond the skies, thai
shines from Heavens blue.
| doubt not III remember, beyond life's
evening gray.
The taca of Gods dear servant who
preached His word to-day.
Dear wife. the fight will 0 be fought
the victory be won.
The shining goal is just ahead, the race is
nearly run.
Ger the river we are nearin', they are
t%hronging to the shore, ,.al
To shout our safe arrival, where the
weary weep nc, more.

We venture the assertion that no papc:

Fraud In the Churches.
From the Hartford Timcs.l

contribute to church subscriptions out
at money that they made by actual
fraud-lraud ut the Custom. house,
fraud in Wall street. fraud in savings
hanks and insurance companies, fraud
In business, and fraud in score OF
ways not necessary to specify. Some
Of these men are known TO have com
milted fraud, and others are under
such suspicion as nothing but the
clcarcst evidence could remove, but
are they obliged to take back seats in
the churches on this account Not
A. all. On the contrary, they occupy
the very hest pcws, and are frequently
more prominent IN church consulta-
lions than their brethren who are uei-

need money, Of course-more, In fact
than thsy can gct-and some OF them
not only tolerate the rich men who
make money by means not strictly

negative encouragement to 60 on ma

them with special consideration. This
may not be the case in DR.. Halls
