call. His grace is allsufficient TO lift any
man up out Of the dreadful past and the
anxious present to full assurance of the bet
ter future. The fact that such being as
Christ ever lived on earth, mystery TO
those who lived with him, yet blessing to
them for good, something of mystery to
all who have read his life and death in the
gospel since he passed away from earth, yet
greater power in the world to-day than
ever,-this fact ought to satisfy any sane
man that religion is reality, for Christ
lived religion that God is real, for Christ
was so much above the highest conception
Of a man. he reflected the best idea that
man has Of what God is that eternity is
also real, for Christ talked as familiarly of
eternity as he did Of time. The only ex-
planation that can be given of such being
is the solution of these great disturbing
questions. His practical life likewise en-
lightens our ignorance Of the duties Of liv-
ing. His life, so pure, so true, so perfect, is
the outline for our life, and the infallible
guide in life. What he said and did under
the varying circumstances of his earthly be-
ing, as far as they touch our lives, we may
say and do. The way Christ acted among
men we may safely act. And as he came
from God and was of God, we may know
that Christ's life is the life God wants man
to live. Christ, then, is the Great Helper,
and not to any one class or race of men
alone nor to any one condition of life. He
is the universal friend, brother, Saviour.

and there was deep silence; the tears rolled
down his cheeks. "These things do not oc
cur now," he again said " Christianity has
put an end to these bloody wars. But there

the Christian people in England have had
this gospel of peace for many long years,

Advice to Professional Men.

To professional men, men of business,
and, indeed, all who are engaged in pursuits
requiring more or less severe mental work,
coupled with more or less confinement, ex-
ercise is of course, the conditio sine qua non
of the recreation to be recommended. This
fact is so obvious that need not dwell upon
it further than to make one remark. This
is to warn all such persons that feelings are
no safe guide as to the amount of muscular
exercise that is requisite for maintaining
full and sustained health. By habitual neg
lect of sufficient exercise, the system may,
and does, accommodate itself to such neg
lect; so that not only may the desire for
exercise cease to be fair measure of its
need, but positive exhaustion may attend
much less amount OF exercise than is neces-
sary to long continuance of sound health.
However strong and well, therefore, man
may feel notwithstanding his neglect of ex-
ercise, he ought to remember that he is play
ing most dangerous game, and that sooner
or later his sin will find him out--either in
the form of dyspepsia, liver, kidney, or other
disease, which so surely creep upon the Of
fender against natures laws of health. Ac-
cording to DR.. Parkes, the amount of exer-
else that healthy man ought to take with
out fatigue is at the least that which is re.
quireu LOT raising one nuuureu anu niby ioot-
tons per diem. This, in mere walking,
would, in the case of man of ordinary
weight, be represented by a walk of between
eight aud nine miles along level ground, or
one mile up a tolerably steep hill but it is
desirable that the requisite amount of exer-
else should be obtained without throwing
all the work upon one set OF muscles. For
this reason walking ought to be varied with
rowing, riding, active games, and, where
practicable, hunting or shooting, which, to
those who are fond of sport, constitute the
most perfect form of recreative exercise

The Charm OF the Dead Past.

There is fascination in the study of the
dead past. We love to contemplate the
things and people that were, but with whose
ashes the winds Of centuries have been sport
ing, as if they had never glowed with life,
significance or beauty. Upon the crumbling
door-sill of the lonely, tenantless old house,
in whose corridors and frowning rooms the
voice of past generations echo with sepul-
chral solemnity, we sit down, and the i'm
agination summons from the church-yard
the forms that once moved through these
dismal halls, places the rag carpet again upon
the floor, the old arm chair again in the cor
ner, in which the sweet-faced gray-haired
mother and grandmother sat with her knit
ting, the slow-ticking eight-day clock against
the wall, the Watchdog again sleeping upon
the step, once more kindes the fire in the
huge, gaping, frowning fireplace, and smoth-
ers in that desolate, deserted, decaying
structure the present with the resurrected
past. The rotting, disordered fence about
the door-yard rises into order and beauty
again the delicately beautiful flowers that
tender hands once trained into delightful
bloom, burst into fresh glory and breathe
forth their exquisite perfumes the lawns
and terraces begin to laugh with the rich
verdure of the long-ago, and the life and
beauty of the past is kindled anew about
the rickety old house, and the walks and
grounds around which time has scattered
the mould and debris of decay Western

The One Thing Needed.

When the chemists and necromancers of
the middle ages were spending their days
and nights in experimenting toward the
making of gold by chemical process, it used
to seem to them that only one thing was
needed to crown their efforts with complete
success. Often and often their combina-
tions would seem to demand but a single
substance to preciptate or crystalline all
into golden metal. But this one substance
they never found, and so their mortars and
crucibles contained nothing precious. Some
what similar to these worthless compounds,
lacking only single element, are those
lives which omit I" for Christ's sake" from
their strivings after success That is the
one thing that combines all effort in golden
result; the one thing whose absence leaves
but poor and valueless remainder. There
are people whose lives are lived "in his
name," but who know it not aud there are
lives which think they are Christ's, but are
not so in very truth. But God can always
see whether they are really golden or not ;
and even the world can commonly detect
without difficulty the presence or absence OF
the element of highest religious WORTH

A Kansas Experience.

"When settled on my claim, three years

" and got the shanty built, had just eight
dollars and sixty cents left, and sack O.

Piles Sarah had brought in the box with the
dishes and bed-covers. We had no stove,
and so we dug hole in the ground to cook
in; we hadn't any bedstead either, and
fixed up some hunks out Of barrelstaves,
like we used to do in the army, you know.
Our highest neighbor, then, was four miles
off when it was cloudy we couldn't see the
house at all. We got along, though, an
broke twenty acres of sod and planted it in
garden-stuff. Then we had to wait for
things to grow. The commissary stores

you; but we stuck it out one way an

come, and one day | shot an antelope.

Seeking Fruit.

A master comes to his garden. He turns
over the leaves of pear and plum-trees, and he
looks along the branches Of the peach-trees.
" Trees look very healthy, don't they, sir ?"
says the gardener, in a satisfied way. Then
they pass into the orchard. "Nice trees
these sir" observes the gardener" very
choice sorts, golden pippin and russell"
Then they turn to the hothouses "Vines
and pines look very promising" says the
gardener, smiling complacently. At last
the master speaks out, half angrily, what
in the world is the use of healthy trees, and
of choice sorts, and of promising plants
don't want green leaves and fine young wood
only-I want fruit. And il you can't get
it, must find somebody that can" The
Lord of the vineyard comes to us. He
stands before us and looks underneath the
leaves of our profession, searching for Fruit.
Good desires, good feelings, good endeavors,
all our praying, all our believing-every-
thing else counts for nothing unless there be
some fruit. This is what our Master re-
quires and seeks. Do you remember how
the Lord Jesus took his disciples into the
vineyard and told them of the Vine? The
words are worth thinking over solemnly,
one by one. Every branch in me that
beareth not fruit he taketh away" Every
branch in me- Surely it is enough to be in
him This is much more than profession
and much more than orthodox belief; and
much more than moral life. In Christ
Yes, but it is not enough. Privilege and
position do not deliver us from the need OF
any good results-they make the obligation
In such vineyard; with such husband
man branch of such Vine, what il there
be no fruit ? This; EVERY branch in me
that beareth not fruit he taketh away and
every branch that beareth fruit he cleanseth
it that it may bring forth more fruit.
Ye have not chosen me, but have chosen
you, and ordained you, that ye should 60
and bring forth fruit" To him, to us, to
others, fruit is to be the end and evidence
of our life.-Reu NJ. G.. Pedrse.

Scolding.

With some, scolding is chronic, says Zion's
Herald Life is one long fret. The flesh is
feverish, the nerves unstrung, the spirit per
turbed and in state of unrest The physi-
cal condition and the material surroundings
may have strong tendency to disturb our
equanimity and to exasperate our feelings;
but we are apt to bear in mind that the
scolding never did anybody any. good, and
withal grows to be very uncomfortable to
the party who indulges in it. Inappropriate
to anybody, scolding appears most hateful
in parents. Set to be dispensers of kindness
aud love to those with whom they are more
especially associated, it is horrible to see
gall distilled instead of charity. Scolding
turns household into pandemonium, and
church into an inquisition. Bear in mind
that kindness and gentle speech are great
deal easier to practice than their opposites.
Why practice the worse thing when harder
Arrest yourself In the indulgence OF this bad
habit right here. Begin now, and put your
self under bonds to be good-natared.
