ILLUsTRATAD BIBLE BEADING
The Wonderfnl l.amp-The Llght
OF the WUrfd

| VI t"e "OEbW.
Instead Of the usual services at As
bury church, last evening, an illustra-
ted bible reading on "tlie won ierfuI
lamp" was given by Mr.. Z. W. Dawson
Of Nyack, N. Y. The exercises were not
only novel and entertaining but very
instructive and impressive. The speak
er allegOrically presented mans Jour-
ney through this world, with foes on
every hand and hidden dangers at
every step, and his need Of light to
guide him in the right path, God had
provided man with wonderful lamp,
His own word, which, filled with the
oil Of grace and lighted with the torch
OF divine love, would ever burn bright
ly, Illuminating the pathway before
him. But this wonderful lamp not only
served the purpose of light. 1t pro-
vided food for the hungry, clothes for
the needy, and help for all in need. 1t
was mans best friend in this world
and guided him to mansions of glory in
the next. The speakers remarks were
illustrated by very ingenious contri-
vance by which the wonderful lamp, the
pitcher of oil, the golden torch, appro-
pirate passager, Of scripture, &c. we're so
arranged upon large frame, that at
the right time and place they would be
presented to the eye. His remarks
were interspersed with the reading of
Bible texts bearing on the subject, by
different persons in the audience, and
the singing of appropriate hymns. Alt :
gethrr it was feast to the eye and
through theeye to the heart" and we
think will not soon be forgotten by the
large audience present.

The Chinese Minister to London has
an agreeable wife whose appearance in

her native country. One Hong Kong
journal suggested that Madame Kwoh

man, was only rewarded by su bscrip

ever, showed not only that the Union
people had enough to do to pay their
