Saving the World.

How is this world to be saved, how re-
deemed and conquered to God 2 Not as
Rome conquered the world, by the tramp of
armies, the blare of trumpets, the din of
battle. 1t is to be done by getting selfhness
out of men and avarice and passion and
discomfort, and pride and lust, by making
men true and pure and upright and honest
aud large-hearted and loving and sympa.
thetic; putting somebody else's good and
welfare above our own and working for it
this is the way the world is to be saved by
a gospel Tired rather than preached put into
the life of men rather than into their creeds.
The sun makes the summer by shining. The
summer of this world is to come by the light
and glory of Christs church shining upon
it, in the rays of Christian kindness and
gentleness, helpfulness, mercy, patience, hui
mility, charity. These are the mightiest
forces in the universe. They seem to be
weak, so easily opposed, so easily put down,
The harsh word may repel them, the rough
hand smite them to the ground, the coarse
foot trample them in the dust but they
rise again all the stronger for the rebuff they
have received. Like the gentle exhalations
which are going on all the time in the at
mosphere around us, we never hear them
they take on no show of power, but they are
lifting with invisible hand the pure, sweet
vapor from the salt sea, the bitches, the
pools the fens and boys of the earth, lifting
it into the viewless air to come back in ST.
lent dews and refreshing showers, to make
this earth the fruitful beautiful, Joyous
thing it is. So the power and the grace of
God working through his people, in love and
patience and purity, are distilling the dews
of better life upon human hearts, and bring
ing salvation to the WORLDS. Graves, ID. ID.

Words for the Hour.

Any local church which is doing nothing
in the line of sending out into its surround
ing neighborhood, to gather under its min
istry those who would not come in unasked,
is neglecting one of its chief duties as a
church. 1t is not enough to preach the
gospel to those who come to hear the gospel.
The gospel ought to be sent to those who
would never look it up; and they ought to
be sought out and invited TO its hearing,
The mission of the Son of Man was To
seek and to save that which was lost !" not
merely to give salvation to those who came
to him seeking it, That mission he com
mitted to his church. As soon as his church
quits seeking the lost, il limits its work OF
saving the lost. The Great Commission
reads, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel TO every creature but great
many disciples of Jesus act as if they thought
it read, "Come ye from all the world, and
hear the gospel-or perish where you are.
The first word to the church, in that com
mission, is $50" The true test, therefore
OF the efficiency of any church as an evan
gelizing agency, is the ago" in it-or the
going out from it, the going after the lost
the going to bring in the outsiders, How
much of the "go - is there in your church
That is the questions. s, Times.

The Silver Lining.

1t is sometimes rather cold comfort to be
told, when we are weary and discouraged,
that every cloud has its silver lining. We
are apt to think that while that may be per-
fectly true as regards other people and their
experience, it is not true for us. The way
before us seems very dark and dreary. The
sky is hung with leaden vapors The air
chokes us. Hope sinks down faint and
PROSTATE, and faith cannot lift wing or eye
to the heavens. What shall we do 2
Well, sometimes these seasons of extreme
depression are consequent upon something
in our physical condition. Our health has
not its usual tone. Appetite has failed, or
digestion is feeble. Maybe we do not sleep
well, and lack of refreshing sleep very
quickly tells upon the nerves. In this case
the first thing to be done is to try to regain
the lost vitality. Rest may be required,
and If we cannot fully rest from our daily
labors, yet perhaps we can ease off a little,
lessen their amount, and diminish our exer-
tions by an hour or two at least. Very likely
we are injpring ourselves by iniudicious
fretting Nothing hurts and rasps the soul
as a constant worrying does, and whatever
else we may not be able to control, we can
TO some extent control that. Patience is
strength and heroism, and we can put its
armor on, and oppose II to the perplexng
anxieties that undermine all our delight.
Prayer is comfort and refuge, too, in
the dark and cloudy day. But we pray in a
balf-hearted way, in the flag ends of our
time, and when we are too weary TO under
stand what we are saying We would treat
none of our friends, if we desired gifts of
them, as we treat God. Let us think more
about this, and try more earnestly to pray
in reverential and thankful spirit.
We should not compare ourselves with
those whose lot in life is brighter than ours,
but with those who are in less prosperous
circumstances not with the people in the
grand houses, with fathomless purses and
retinues of servants, but with those who
are huddled together in the close rooms and
with the scanty fare of the poor Every
body has trouble, and no doubt If we could
see into their hearts we would not exchange
places with those who appear to be most for
tunate.
Doingour work, whatever it is, in earnest,
is also panacea for every ordinary ache
and pain of the heart. Perhaps they soonest
find the silvery lining who cease thinking
about the cloud and the fog, and Just go
straight on with the business of the present
moment. By and by, when the trials and
the anxieties which environ you to-day have
passed away you may see clearer than you
can now, and discern that all the while you
were being led by kind and wise Father.
We know that all things work together
for good to those who love God. Aud we
remember, too, that our Lord has promised
that what we do not now comprehend of his
doings we shall know hereafter.-- Christian
al Work.

Amusement at Fairs.

We take the following from the Rura
New Yorker: "There is a little too much
of the Gradgrind in much that is written
about agricultural fairs lately. The desire
is to have them more instructive, useful
practical. There is opportunity to improve
them in this direction. We can, and ought
also, to exclude all demoralizing associations
gambling, drinking, and the like. But W,
must not exclude the idea of amusement, Of
recreation, or we lose what is by no means o.
the least consequence. Farmers have toe
few amusements. We believe that fair,
might be usefully developed in that drec
ton until even the circus would be rivalet
in interest TO the boys and girls, the young
men and madens, to say nothing of the ole
men and matrons. Let us have plenty O
fun at the fairs"

THE MODERN FARMER.

The pipe Of the quail in the s,ubbe field,
The scent Of the new-mown hay.
And all day long the shout and song
OF the reapers so far away.
The restless racket amid the grain,
The noise Of the reaping machine;
And ever again the howl Of pain
Comes over the meadow green.
Oh. sweet Ia the field where the meadow-lark fits
And sings, ~ 1t scars and dives;
Where the granger sits and yells as he gifts
His fingers among the knives.
No longer we hear on the hillside sere,
The scythe-stone. clinkety clinki
Bu, the reaping machine cuts his leg of ween,
Before ever the man can think.
with foreboding and tears his good wife hears
The man Of the house say goodbye
To return. in sooth, with a horse-rake tooth
sticking four inches ont Of his eye.
when the threshers come in with halioo and din,
How burdened with sorrow the hour.
when they pause to scan what is left of the man
Chawed up in an eight-horse power.
oh, lie and listen From the hills,
What voice for the doctor begs ?
'Tis the stoker who fell, and. awful to tell,
The steam harrow ran over his legs.
Thus all day long, with mirth and song,
They laugh at the dread alarms;
Though the waving field shall It's harvest yield
OF fingers and legs, and arms.
Then pity the sorrows of a poor old granger.
Whose mangled limbs have borne him to the fencei
who braved, with reckless courage, untold danger
And run his farm with modern implements.
