Redeem the Time.

1t is the season of review. Business men
look over their books and their stock /:
Christian men should do the same How
have you lived a? What is there on hand of
strength, purpose or grace How can you
manage yonr conduct, your character, your
work, so as to prosper more in the things of
eternity? There is much to regret, much
TO amend; little to be cheerful over in ret
respect great deal to be glad about in
hope. For the days are evil" and must
be while sin is in the world. But you may
redeem the time" because Christ also is
in the world Some sadness must come
with memory. Our failures, nay, our sins,
find us out in this quiet hour between two
years. 1t is good for us to be warned of
our faults by recollection. Be not afraid to
review the year. 1t will do you good to
look back. But remember, even in the keen
est pain of memory, that immortal hope is
your portion. Wherein you have failed, by
carefulness you may succeed in the new
year. Look a little, but only little, at
your success. 1t is not best to fondle your
good work. Let it alone if you need it not
to save you from despair. Even then there
is a better stay. Above all, look at this hour
to the exhaustless riches of Christ, our
Saviour. All you need he has, all you can
use he will supply. You may redeem the
time, because he will help you according to
your hearts desire. Begin the new year in
better purpose and serener hope. He has
brought you thus far; he win bring you
home. Begin the new year in holy purpose
to be better, to do more, to go faster, to fight
more valiantly. DO not fail in good reson-
tions. Those who make them may fail but
those who do not make them have failed al
ready. And keep your VOWS. Let them be
upon your conscience, a daily burden--made
light by your prompt obedience. Let them
lit you up to see the end, to overlook the
meaAer things in the valleys while your eyes
salute the hills of God. 1t is good to look
far and high-to send our arrow at the sun.
Braver, higher, truer, sweeter-that is what
you ought to be in the new year,-Metho,iist.

The Name Jesus.

Bernard has delightfully."- compared the
name of Jesus to honey in the mouth, mel
ody in the air, and joy in the heart Moth
ing bears such delicious perfume as the
name of Jesus. 1t is the beginning of hope
and end of despair. The name of Jesus
was divinely ordered, expounded, and con.
ferred 1t was the angel of the Lord who
first breathed that name oJoseph, and it was
rendered sweet by the words with which it
was accompanied" He shall save his people
from their sins" AS the name was Gods
own choosing we may rest assured it was
the best name the Saviour could bear. II
was name which must be true, because he
who gave it cannot err. The name signi-
fes Jehovah Saviour, for he is Saviour in
a sense that no one else is or can be. In
addition to expounding the name, the Eter-
nal Father has been pleased TO give us a
synonym for it. Jesus NAV be changed to
Emmanuel, for he bridged the gulf between
God and man. Both jesus and Imiuanuel
are full of heartcheer, Although the name
was chosen by God, il is chosen by men.
How applicable that name is TO him men
well know, for those who do not know Jesus
as their Saviour do not know him at all.
Jesus was publicly named in the temple,
and those who know the Saviour should
publicly confess him. II he was Jesus in
the cradle, how grandly does the title beit
him now that he has made atonement for
our sins, and entered heaven 10 intercede on
our behalf. The name had been typically
worn 10y Others, but is now reserved Tor him
a'one, and has henceforth identified Christ

Opinion and Faith.

The reason why great many people seem
to be always changing their faith is that
they never really have any faith. They have
indeed what they call faith, and are often
very positive about it, They have gathered
together number of opinions and fancies,
often very i'll considered, which they say
that they believe, using the deep and sacred
Word for very superficial and frivolous ac-
ton of their wills. They no more have
faith than vagrant has home who sleeps
upon different doorstep every night. And
yet he does sleep somewhere every night
and so these wanderers among the creeds
at each given moment are believing some
thing although that something is forever al
tering. We do not properly believe what we
only think. A thousand specuations come
into our heads, and our minds dwell upon
them, which are not, therefore, to be put
into our creed, however possible they seem.
Our creed, our credo, anything which we
call by such sacred name, is not what we
have thought, but what our Lord has told
us. The true creed must come down from
above and not ont from within. Have your
opinions always, but do not bind yourself to
them. Call your opinions your creed, and
you will change it every week. Make your
creed simply aud broadly ont of the revela-
tion of God, and you may keep it to the end.

Not Morality Alone.

Men are not, and certainly it is true in
general that they never have been raised
from vice to virtue, from sin TO holiness
from moral sickness to moral health, by
morality alone. No matter how pure il
may be, no preaching of morality has ever
sunk deep into society, or shown itself able
to have any wide control over the conduct
of men. 1t has never shown itself able to
mould society internally and from the cen
tire. You cannot make man virtuous sim.
ply by teaching him virtue. You cannot be
certain that child will practise the Ten
Commandments, simply because he has
learned them by heart. The teaching is, of
course, well; is not only important, but in
dispensable How can men be led to do
their duty unless they are first led to know
it? How shall they believe in him of
whom they have not heard But, notwith-
standing this, all the knowledge which men
obtain of the divine commands, and their
duty, never have been sufficient to lead
them TO true obedience No theory of
human nature is deep and thorough which
does not recognize the actual foundation for
this fact and no observation of human
conduct is wide or penetrating which has
not seen its frequent exhibitions---President

The Prayers Of Mothers.

Not long since two gentlemen were re-
latlng to each other some parts of their early
experience, and their illusions to the influence
of their Christian mothers, and especially to
the prayers of those mothers, were too inter
esting and instructive to be lost.
One OF them said, E" lost my father when
! was very young, and was taken into the
family of near relative, who gave me a
home. But my praying mother still lived ;
and she not only prayed constantly for me,
but whenever visited or saw her she would
pray with me, most earnestly, that ! might
be indeed child of God and OH" he said.
g could stand anything but those PRAYERS
of my mother. They gave me no rest or
peace till gave myself to the Saviour The
writings of Paine and Voltaire were placed
before me, and was led continually to vain
and trifing amusements, and into various
forms of evil, but my mothers prayers would
haunt me still, and by them more than any
other agency, was led to the cross of Christ"
THAT" said the other, "was also the way
with me. Many time when, in college
life, ] was tempted to evil, the thought of
my mothers prayers kept me from yielding
to temptation, aud led me to improve nv
opportunities for study, and TO life of
careful morality. And at last, in a revival
Of religion, | was led, doubt not in answer
to these prayers, to seek an interest in the
great salvation, and finally to devote nv
life to the work of the gospel ministry"
Both these friends were converted after
they had grown up to manhood and both
traced their conversion mainly to the inhu-
'nce of their mothers prayers. Their ex-
perience-their persistence in sin and i'm
penitence for so many years, and their
change through divine grace to holy living,
one of them becoming faithful minister Of
he gospel, and the other an active, earnest
ayman-seems to say to every mother,
Pray onl pray on What 10 you NAV
seem hopeless cases, need not be hopeless, If
your trust is in the God who hears prayer"
We all remember how John Randolph,
some years before his death, wrote to friend,
" used to be called Frenchman, because
| took the French side in politics; and
though this was unjust, yet the truth is,
should have been French atheist, if it had
not been for one recollection, and that was
that my departed mother used to take NV
little hands in hers, and cause me, on nv
knees, to say 'Our Father, which art in
heaven"
"Never," says another, "shall forget the
holy awe and sanctity of the place. when, in
my early days, passed by my mothers room
at her hour of prayer, and heard her plead
with humble, but impassioned earnestness,
. Lord bless my dear children, and turn
their hearts to theel' The remembrance of
that hour and OF that prayer never left me,
out was the means of leading me to the
Saviour I"
" A kiss from my mother" said Benjamin
West, made me painter" "The prayers
Of my mother" many Christian can saw,
e have, by the grace of God, kept me from
thousand temptations, and led me in peni-
tence and faith to the cross of Christl"-

Not for many year, probably not since
John Adams time, has there been so do
nestle family in the White House. 1t is
essentially a home. Il want you to see
what kind of housekeeper my wife is,"
said the President the other day to com
pany of Quakers whom he was showing
through the mansion. Their evenings, when
the exigencies of public life permit are
spent III that best of all places, the family
circle. Old friends, and new friends, too,
are given TO understand that they will be
welcome if they drop" in for a neighborly
evening call and on these occasions the
childrens happiness is an essential matter.
The family are pleased to have their friends
bring their children with them at these
evening visits And speaking of the chill
lren, | am told that Mrs. Hayes, with
u motherly thoughtfulness, has provided
one OF the incest little schools in the
White House for her two younger children,
Of eight and eleven years old and, not CON
tent to have them brought up alone by a
5overness, without the companionship of
other children, has arranged little school
of six, her own children, and the younger
children of Secretary McCrary and her old
friends, the Shellabargers. The children
nave pleasant, sunny room for their school
room, with desks, aud blackboards, and all
conveniences, where they assemble daily
from nine till one and have a charming and
most refined young woman, Miss Peyton,
Tor their teacher. Mrs. Hayes often visits
the school, taking the greatest interest in
the little company.

excellent tact at the receptions, have already
had public mention, but not half the praise
which they deserve, | remember how at

her whole graceful body are alive and alert

to the passing hundreds, as | stood aside
and observed her for moment, were mar
vels of aptness and politeness. One gentle
man, who presented himself with lady on
each arm, introduced the ladies TO Mrs
Hayes himself-the crowd being so great
and the usher having more than he could
do-and then, introducing himself, was
about to pass on, when Mrs. Hayes said /;

great bereavement, which tested my trust in
Gods providence beyond any previous trial

Se1f-Reliance.

Half the members of the church stand
obliquely. They act as if piety were con-
dition of dreadful peril and they must have
hundred to watch over them day and
night to keep their souls from going to the
bad, or the bad from coming to their souls.
These folks are always telling that the
church doesn't uphold them as it should /;
that the pastor doesn't carry the lambs in
his bosom-as if old sheep like themselves
could by any stretch of the Imagination be
looked upon as lambs. If the members
were more polite to them or the deacons
more observant Of their spiritual state or
the pastor would only watch over them
with holier vigilance-why, they would be
deal better and happier than they are.
Friend, cease to lean on folks. Stand erect.
Let your piety have some legs under it.
Learn to live alone. Learn to live without
being helped by the church and the deacons
and the pastor. You will have to die alone.
The church, the deacons and the pastor
won't help you then. One Helper there is
for you, and he is all-sufiicient. At the
edge of the grave men draw off from you.
Death is an individual facing of an individ-
ual test.-G0lden Rule.

The Bride and her DOwry.

A clergyman was sent for to visit girl
who was seriously i'll. The illness proved
fatal, and the mother was left bereaved of
her child as well as husband. A few days
after her child's funeral the widow called
and requested to see the clergyman. She
put into his hand small packet, contain
ing money, which she begged he would give
to some society which was sending the gos-
pei to the heather world. He opened the
parcel, and to his amazement counted out
twenty dollars. He at once demonstrated
with the widow, told her that, gaining her
precarious living as laundress, she surely
ought not to give so large a sum. With
tirmness she urged him to take it, and then
said, How | come to have this large sum
is just this; When my child was born ]
thought, She'll live to get married some of
these days and thought | would begin to
put by little sum to be store for her
then, and | began that day with sixpence.
You know what happened last week Well
thought to myself, The Heavenly Bride
groom has come, and he has called her home
to be his brides and as he has taken the
bride, it is only right he should have the
