and mind at peace through Christ, is
the antepast of heaven.-Bishop Reynolds
1t you do not recognize the claims of
God to your body, soul, spirit, time, tai
ents, influence, wealth, to all that you

How do lament the GOODNESS of my

l renew daily my covenant to become

How long suffering and patient is GOD
with sinners; how slow to punish; now
unwilling to strike! If there be but a
hope of recovery, how many pauses doth
he make on his way to justice? Spencer
Those who are satisfied with the world
for their portion, and seek not for happi-
ness in God, feel no need for accepting
the gospel invitation, and in no uneasi-
ness about their souls. But those who
labor and are heavy laden are invited, and
they ome.--Mottteao Henry.
Every promise of God rests on four
pillars; hia holiness and justice, which
will not suffer him to deceive; his grace
and goodness, which will not suffer him to
forget; his truth, which will not suffer
him to change, and his power, which
makes him able to accomplish -Sazter.
I am convinced that to spend any part
of our time in feeding Christ's lambs, or
binding the wounds Of the weary ones of
his flock, is not only our honor and priv
Iege, but our greatest help to advance
ment in the Christian cause. -Mary Lun-

1t costs more to neglect our duties than
to accomplish them. It costs more to
take care OF the idle poor, the able pau
pers, than to see that they are trained, in
some wise, to work, and the means of
self-support put before them. 1t costs
more to care than to prevent, ten times
over-A1an0 Dick5nson.

Almost sweet is unsavory; almost hot is
lukewarm. Almost Christian is like.
the Ephraimites who could not pronounce
Shibboleth, but Sibboleth. Almost a
Christian is like Ananias, who brought
part, out left a part behind. Almost a
Christian is like the Virgins, who carried
lamps without oil; like the willing un-
willing son, who said he would come and
would not.-Henry Sma5th.
It is not toillng, but believing. that
brings rest and JOY, and peace. It is not
doing or suffering, but simply believing,
that Christ has suffered and done. It is
not waiting, but believ wing now. It is
not seeking to make ones self better,
but coming in all our sinfuIness, that
Christ may make US so It is through
Him we come to know the love of God :;
and in this is rest and peace.-R. Newton.
You are guilty, and only Christ can
forgive; sinful, and only Christ can
cleanse; weak, and only Christ can
strengthen; wandering, and only Christ
can safely guide There is wrath, and
only Christ can deliver. You are lost and
only Christ can save. Come
to Him just as you are, poor,
needy, naked, empty. wretched; only
come, and he will receive you, and be
your portion forever.--Muso7l.

The correspondence of an eminent d.
plomatist writes from Paris in January.
1896: "A few days ago two ladies met
IN narrow street at ten A. NJ. Neither
chose to permit her carriage to be drawn
back, and they remained six hours with
out moving. A little after twelve o'clock
they sent for refreshments for themselves
and horses. Each was firmly resolved to
stay the night rather than 90 back, and
they would have done SO but that tav-
ern-keepe1 on the street, who was pre-
vented by their obetinacy from bringing
to his door cart laden with wine, went
in search of the commissary of the dis

should retire at the same moment, and
that neither should pass through the
street afterward."
