Scottish PIETY.-One day recently
the Hutchlnson's steamer was sailing
around Cape Wrath, carrying some five
hundred Lewis men from Stornoway to
the herring fishing at Wick. In the
evening the captain was "chafcd" by a
tourist about the Scottish strictness of
view in relation to the SABBATH was
Saturday evening-as really impracti-
cable strictness. The captain said that
of the FIVE hundred Lewis men 'aft, :"
not one, landing at the Thurso late on
Saturday night, would take a step
towards Wick till Monday morning /;
that if the weather proved fine, they
would spend the night in the open air /;
if it proved bad. they would seek shell
ter in out-houses; and that on the Sab
bath day they would worship in groups,
led by their head-men. About ten
o'clock at night the captains statement
was strikingIy illustrated by a solemn
act of joint notwithstanding, Bible
reading. and prayer-on the part of the
whole FIVE hundred their grand shaggy
heads, surmounting broad shoulders,
being laid bare to the pelting wind and
rain. Any one seeing those heads and
shoulders of men worshipping God would
have felt that, SO long as men of theil
class people our country districts, we
are not in sight of the poets,

The first and most indispensable con-
dition of piety is submission-blind,
absolute, entire submission of the in
tellect, the conscience, the life, the God.
This is blind, but not irrational. 1t is
the submission of sightless child to an
all seeing Father; of feeble. beclouded
intelligence to the Infinite intelligence.
Professor G. Hodge.

This seems to me a great truth, in
any exile, or chaos whatsoever, that sor-
row was not given US for sorrows sake,
but always, and infallibly. as a lesson
to us, from which we are TO learn some
what, and which, the somewhat once
learned, ceases to be sorrow.-C Carlyle.

THE KIND OF MEN WANTED.

We once heard bit of sound advice
given to two young men about to embark
in business venture which is worth re-
peating. "And then," said their mentor.
you want to get good efficient man..
That was good counsel, not only for
those to whom it was addressed, but for
all men and all bodies of men who have
work to be done and want it done we'll.
There is abundant need of just that
kind of men in the world. It is not
enough that your man is good. He
may be that and sadly incapable of
doing the service required of him. A
great many projects come to nought
through the ineficiency of good men.
And on the other hand a thorough
efficient man, trained to work and capa-
BILE of doing we'll the task assigned him.
may prove rogue, whose very capabili-
ty enables him the mere easily to work
mischief to those who trust him. But
goodness and efficiency combined make
up man whose value, like the model
housewife of the Proverbs, is above ru-
bies.
Such men are needed in every voca-
ton but there is an espec ially loud
call for them in the church of Christ.
The pulpit need them, they are sorely
needed in the Sunday school and other
departments, of church work. The
cause of Christ laDguishes thorugh the
lneficiency in Christian work of those
who are especially called to organize,
oversee and carry it forward. We want
goodness, in more abundant measure,
in pulpit and pew: but even more We
need consecrated efficiency. How much
more smoothly and vigorously would
the work of the Lord 60 forward if ga
good, efficient man" filled every posi-
ton of responsibility in the various de-
partments of Christian effort
1t would be we'll if, in selecting pas.
tors and "of6ce- bearers" churches would
think more of these two importan,
qualifications for service. They should
search for them as men search for hid.
