" When Jesus COmes.v

There is one very sweet sense in which
" Jesus comes TO his own followers in these
days. He does not come in fleshy form, as
he did eighteen centuries ago nor does he
come amid clouds and celestial splendor, as
he will at the final judgment. But in spirit,
seen by the eye OF faith, Jesus draws de-
lightfully near TO those who seek for his
presence. He comes to the awakened peni-
tent who cries out to him, Come and take
away my stony heart, and make it heart of
flesh" IL any one doubts this, let him fer
vently call upon that woodworking Sa-
viour who visited the house of Jairus and
the tomb at Bethany. He is very close at
hand, my awakened and anxious friend.
Already you may hear his knock at your
heart, aud his loving voice II thou wilt
open the door, will come in unto thee and
sup with thee, and thou with me-"
Hasten to let him in When Jesus comes
in, he will bring pardon for your sins.
When Jesus comes, he will bring light and
Joy, and such true peace as you never tasted
before. lie will not be satisfied with a
closet or corner of your heart, or with a
paltry share of your thoughts grudgingly
given. lie wants every room-your facul-
ties, affections and will, must all be sur
rendered to him. The key to your purse
must be his too. Don't plead that you are
not worthy that he should come under your
roof. lie loves TO stoop to the lowly in
spirit. He will bring his own entertainment
with him when he "sups" with you. You
will be fed with more than an angels food
when the King sitteth at the table. This is
the very essence OF conversion to turn siu
out of the door and TO convert your heart
into dwelling-place for the sinners Friend
:" Admit him, for the human breast
Nee entertained 40 kind guest;
Admit him, and you won't expe,
For where he comes he comes 10 dwell"

Rules for Home Education.

l. From your children's earliest infancy,
inculate the necessity of instant obedience.
2. Unite firmness with gentleness. Let
your children always understand that what
you say you mean.
3. Never promise them anything unless
you are quite sure you can give them what
you promise.
4. If you tell little child TO do some
thing, show him how to do it, and see that
it is done.
3. Always punish your children for will
fully disobeying you, but never punish them
in anger.
9. Never let them perceive that they vex
you, or make you lose your self-command.
T. III they give way to petulance and
temper, wait till they are calm, and then
gently reason with them on the impropriety
of their conduct.
8. Remember that little present punish
ment when the occasion arises is much more
effectual than the threatening of greater
punishment should the fault be renewed.
0. Never give your children anything be-
cause they cry for it.
10. On no account allow them to 20 at
one time what you have forbidden, under
like circumstances, at another.
ii. Teach them that the only sure and
easy way to appear good is to be good.
IL. Accustom them to make their little
recitals with perfect truth.
IL. Never allow tale bearing.
IA. Teach them that self-denial not self
indulgence of an angry and resentful spirit,
will make them happy.

The Work Of the Holy Spirit.

Eternal life is said to consist in the knowl-
edge of God, and Of Jesus Christ whom he
has sent To impart this knowledge is the
work of the Spirit. lie enables us to see
the glory of God, as it shines in the face of
Jesus Christ. 1t is this discovery which
produces holiness. By beholding his glory
we are transformed into his image, from
glory to glory. When Christ was thus re-
vealed to Paul he was instantly converted
from prosecutor into a worshiper of the
Lord Jesus. And this is the history OF
every conversion from that day to this. 1t
matters not to the blind that the heavens
are flooded with glory, or that the earth is
clad with beauty; and it matters not to the
spiritually blind that God has clothed him
self in flesh and dwelt among us. But when
the Spirit opens our eyes, then the beatihc
vision breaks in upon the soul with all its
transforming power then we become new
creatures in Christ Jesus.-Dr. Charles
Hodge.

The Drowning Sailors Hymn.

AT the close of Sabbath days service in
village on the coast of Wales, during a
terrific storm, a large ship was seen driving
before the gale towards the rocky shore
where inevitable destruction awaited her
and her hapless crew. Pastor and people
were assembled on the beach. Helpless
hands were wrung with sorrow, and fervent
prayers were offered for the doomed mari
ners. A crash and cry are heard the
vessel has parted amidships; one-half has
disappeared, and the other is seen only in
fragments, on which some figures are visible
for few moments, till at length only one
man remains in view, clinging to broken
spar. "Could we not send him a message ?"
cries some one. A trumpet is brought and
put into the pastors hand. What could he
say to one who was just sinking into etern-
ity? "Look to Jesusl'' he cries. "Can
you hear ?" Gay, ay, sir' was heard in
reply, more distinctly than could have been
expected. Hark he is singing, and they
catch here and there the words of his dying
song;
Jesus lover OF my soul
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still IL high!
Hide me, o my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past
Safe into the haven guide,
o. receive my soul at last!
Other refuge have none -"
The voice ceases; the singer has dropped
into the sea His prayer has been granted
and he has joined the company of the re-
deemed before the throne. How high the
privilege of contributing to swell that
heavenly chorus "They that be wise shall
shine as the brightness of the armament
and they that turn many to righteousness as
the stars for ever and ever.-Selected.
