Keep the Faith.

Here are some ringing words from the adj
dress by DIR. Herrick johnson to the gradu-
ating class at Auburn Theological Seminary
"keep the faith. As Paul stood balanced
between two worlds, looking back to strug-
gle, and away TO rest, he could say from his
heart, Z" | have fought good fight, have
finished the course, have kept the faith"
Now these are not three different things in
the Apostles thought, but the same thing in
three different forms. Paul was emphasizing
his fidelity 10 the truth as Il is in Jesus. He
first expressed it under the general figure of
a contest of any kind. Then under the spe-
cifc figure of race. Then without figure.
1t is as if he had said, Il have kept the
faith, hare kept the faith, | HAVE KEPT THE
FAITH
$50 charge you, before God and the
Lord Jesus Christ, keep the faith, keep The
faith, KEEP THE FAITH. Know more of it,
Go deeper in it. And keep it. Never bate
one jot or title of its imperious claims.
Never swerve one hairs breadth from its
truthful representation. Ii you can't hold
it as Presbyterians hold it, pull down your
denominational colors and preach under
some other flag. BE too honest and courage
ous to 90 on speaking what you deem to be
Gods truth, under Haunting lie.
"But keep The faith. Hunger to know
more of it, Thirst to drink deeper of it,
Above all, get it inwrought in your life
Transfuse it into experience There are
blessed gateways to open before you yet
and into riches of God of which you have
not even dreamed.
"a dear classmate of mine in the sem
mary, writing to me only last week, copied
this out of his heart ! have learned a great
deal more of the sweetness of the doctrines
of grace than knew. My understanding
of the goodness of the Lord has been much
enlarged. Though my convictions of these
truths were strong, had not entered into
their blessedness in my own experience
Now find them rich and sweet beyond my
power of expression.
$50 will you, dear brethren, as the years
90 on, and you are found faithful. Goo
keeps those who keep his truth. God feed'
those who love his truth. And the truth
grows sweeter to the taste as it grows usec
to the lips and hearts. But the truth is fol
battle as well as for nourishment. Nothing
arms like the truth of God. 1t kept Pau
unblanched before wild beasts at EpheSas
and before the Neronan lion at Rome
Brethren, wild beasts doubtless want somt
of you. That roaring lion, the devil, will a
least mean harm to you, if you threaten t.
trouble him. You are thrust into no easy
time. Skepticism will confront and challeng'
you. The age is bent on material rathe
than spiritual gain, and problems and philos
ophies. One of you will at once stand fac'
to face with some of the worst features OF |
willy, repressive despotism. All of you vii
be beset with the rulers of darkness. Bu
you will quail in no presence and before NJ
opposition, if you keep the Jdih."

Never Do This.

az cannot understand" said discouraged
mother the other day, "why my children
are so much worse than those of other peo-
pie. | am always correcting their FAULTS al
ways telling them what not to do" And
there was just the trouble. Nothing is worse
than to be continually reproving children,
continually lecturing them on general prin-
ciples, saying over and over, "Never do
this till the best children are bewildered
and made rebels in spite of their own inten.
tons. When little one makes mistake,
set that special mistake right; but beware
of legislating for lifetime to people less
than ten years old. We are often respon
sible for children's naughtiness because we
forget that children have rights. The
mother who is unfailingly polite herself tc
her little ones will be repaid by their good
manners. But the loud tone, the quick em
phasis, the arbitrary speech, will be repeated
by the second generation with inevitable ac
curacy, and the mother will be ashamed O
it.-Seiected.

leaping into wagon whose driver had vii
lainously disappeared, apd careering along
the road, while the president turned back
from his walk that his eyes might not alight
on so profane scene. Notwithstanding
some incidental ills, | do believe that it is Of
advantage to have young men of sixteen,
eighteen, or twenty, under some sort of over
sight when they are away from home. | am
convinced that professors and tutors, as a
rule, have kindly feeling toward the young
men with whom they come into constant
contact, and may, If they are made TO feel
their duty requires it, exercise happy moral
influence over them. | should deplore to
find instructors settled on the understanding
that they were simply to teach Latin or
Greek, mathematics or metaphysics, and
had no responsibility in regard to the forma-
tion of character and the kindling of spirit
ual aspiration. President McCosh.

At Home.

Christians should have prayer at home.
One of the Apostle Paul's constant phrases,
which he repeats in connection with his ex-
hortations or declarations, is " in the Lord"
So all homes are founded and must be built
up " in the Lord" Family prayer is impor-
tant for the maintenance of family religion.
The union of the household, the reading of
Gods Word, the bowing of every one in
prayer, the commencing Of all their interests
to God, are a perpetual blessing. Its iDtlu-
ence lasts when the circle is broken it is a
power which lives when the parents are
gone. The world wants more veritable
Christian homes. 1t needs them for the ma
ton it needs them for social life in every
community it needs them for the happiness
of their individual members; it needs them
as an aid to the worlds evangelization.-Se-
| Lecied.

A LITTLE WORD.

II was hut word. a small one,
"yes," when II should have been "no"-
But II oped the gate
To an evil fate
which swept me down in its flow.
SO short word TO have blasted
The sun Of beautiful day,
And have driven my feet
From the meadow sweet
To n wild and turbulent way
why, the word was breath, feather,
But 1t marshalied a terrible host,
And followed each sin,
As II entered in,
Like sad, reproaohful ghost.
oh pltiful words Of weakness,
Ye are strong enough TO kill,
Or to hide the goal
Ofa seeking soul
TIL II loses faith and will.
No word too short for llfe's blessing,
No word too short for Ia bane,
And through yes " or mo"
Our veal and woe
win bring rs JOY or pain.
Small drops swell into a torrent
That hurries us down the main,
And through storm and stress
In our sore distress
We may cry " God helpw in vain.
Then wait thou not for such an hour,
But cry " God help ITO choose
Each word and deed,
That in sorest need
The soul no hope may lose.
And the smallest words are greatest

Polishing.

1t is rough work that polishes. Look at
the pebbles on the shore Far inland, where
some arm of the sea thrusts itself deep into
the bosom of the land, and, expanding into
a salt loch, lies girdled by the mountains,
sheltered from the storms that agitate the
deep, the pebbles on the beach are rough,
not beautiful; angular, not rounded. 1t is
where long white lines of breakers roar, and
the rafting shingle is rolled about the strand,
that its pebbles are rounded and polished
As in nature, as in art, so in grace it is
rough treatment that gives souls as well as
stones their lustre. The more the diamond
is cut the brighter it sparkles and in what
seems hard dealing, there God has no END
in view but to perfect his people.-Dr
