Christian "Giving Up"

1t is pitiful thing to see a young
disciple going about and asking every
body how much he must "give up" in
order to be Christian. Unfortunately
many of those who take it upon them
selves to instruct him give him the same
impression of Christian discipleship-
that it consists chiefly of giving up
Things that one likes and finds pleasure
in. But man in solitary confinement
might as well talk about what he must
''give up" if he is pardoned out of pris-
on, or patient in consumption about
what he must "give up in order to get
well. The prisoner must give up his
letters, and the invalid his pains and
his weakness,-these are the main
things to be sacrificed. 1t is true that
the one has the privilege of living with
out work, and the other the privilege
of lying abed all day these are privi-
leges that must be relinquished, no
doubt. And so there are certain sacri-
fees to be made by him who enters up
on the Christian life, but they are ''not
worthy to be compared" with the liber-
ty and dignity and joy into which the
Christian life introduces us; and to put
the emphasis upon this negative side of
the Christian experience, as so many
are inclined to do, is great mistake

WHY Nor ARREST BEGGARS Why
should not every professional or habitu-
al beggar be arrested and imprisoned
In the streets of every large city in this
land men, women and children regular
ly plying the trade of mendicancy, are
to be met with at every turn. There
ought to be warehouses for these va
grants where they should be compelled
to labor for their livelihood. In Paris,
we are told, no beggar is ever seen in
the streets; similar vigorous enforce
ment of law in American cities wOnld
cause no suffering, and would greatly
promote industry and virtue. The
people who cannot work do not need
to beg from door to door; there are
provisions enough everywhere for the
relief of such as these and the ener-
Getic repression of beggary is the first
contribution that the law ought to
make toward working ont the problem
of pauperism.-!Sunday afternoon.

Decay.

Turn whithersoever we will on the
proud face of creation, and we lind the
landmarks of decay. A continued au-
tumn brings down the weak and aged
to death. ....... .s
The strong oak that lifts its naughty
head on yonder hill, detying the hurri-
cane, may have tiny worm gnawing
at its heart that will sooner OF later
send its lifeless trunk to the earth, a
broken mass of decaying wood.
The huge mountain, around whose
lofty turrets the lightnings of ii thou
sand ages have played and flashed, and
whose devoted sides have breasted the
storms of snow and rain, alike impervi-
Gus to each other, may contain within
its bosom il volcano that will, one day,
rend it in fragments, and level it with
the plain. ....l ...-..
The naughty eagle, that mounts the
sky, and dries his plumage in the sun
shine far above the clouds, has his al
loted 100 years to live.
Everywhere we find indelibly stamp
ed the word ''decay." The SUI, moon
and stars--the earth, with the bones
and ashes of her myriad dead-must
one day be rolled up as scroll. The
tooth of time is continually gnawlng
the bones of departed millions. The
silence of the tomb gives back but a
single echo. and that-decay.
