ship existing between the Counties
Maryland and the City of Baltimore is
such that residents of the Counties have
occasion to visit the City frequently dur

facts and the liberal patronage extended

The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1880-11-17
For the Central Presbyterian
Augustine's Struggles and
CONQUEST.

Augustine, the great Latin theologian,
by profession a teacher of Rhetoric, and
in character an ambitious and sensual
man of the world, had been long under
pungent conviction of sin. He had, like
Herod, done many things" and, like
Felix, promised future repentance at some
convenient season. His conscience had
compelled him to partial reform of his
vices, and to many religious observances.
But STILL he was "holden by the cords of
his SINS" and he found the chief obstacle
to deciding for Christ, in this thought:
Can l endure to bid final farewell to
my darling sins and my ambition? 1
fear to venture it.
at length gentleman casually men
toned passage which he had been read
ing in the life Of st. Anthony, which de-
scribed the firm and irrevocable decision
made for Christ on the day of his con-
version. The story struck Augustine
like an arrow through his heart his con-
science exclaimed that this was what he
had to do also. He left his parlor and
went into his garden, where he seated
himself on bench under tree, in in
tense anguish of soul. In his "Confes-
sions," Blk. Will, chap. II, he thus de-
scribes his struggle:
Thus was heart-sick and tortured,
accusing myself even more bitterly than
usual and turning and rolling myself in
my chain, until it should be wholly
broken off me. I was now bound by a
slenderer chain; but still / a0a8 bound.
And thou, oh Lord, vast urging my in
most heart with merciful severity, re-
doubling the lashes Of shame and fear
lest l should again recoil, and that slen-
der chain of vice which remained should

For the Central Presbyterian
NIGHT.

Can this be Night, when vestal stars kneeling,
Like worshippers in dim sequestered aisles;
Or pilgrims pale, before their shrines appealing;
When far beyond, the flaming Orient smiles ?
Can this be Night when Ger the blue Egean,
A silver tide floats round each fairy isle
AS trailing splendors gid the Carrabean;
Or radiant ships shine downwards on the Nile
The wistful Moon, though darkness earth en-
cumber,
Has Ger each scene, her bright efulgence
thrown;
And myriad orbs, that Xerxes host outnumber;
Retiring shed, their fainter beams alone.
Thus day again, in mirrored glory turning
Impales the night, on its celestial spear
So Truth divine, the powers of darkness spurn-
ing,
Smites evil down, till ransomed light appear.
There is no Night It's but the yelling shadow,
That falls behind, this round revolving globe
An endless day at last will overthrow,
When Earth assumes her bright redeeming
robe.

a half years, to church for the first
time. Little Nina was very quiet and
ladylike, but being very tired, sitting
so long, thought it high time to close
the meeting; so she took hymn book,
opened it, and handed it to her moth
er, saying, "sing Old Grimes mamma"
1t is needless to say there was some
smiling in the congregation. When
the closing prayer was being offered,
she went quietly from her mother, who
did not notice her, to the pulpit, and
remained looking earnestly in her
fathers face until the close of the pray
er. Her mother told her it "wasn't
nice" to run away from her. That
night, instead of repeating the little
prayer which had been taught her,
she clasped her dimpled hands and
prayed, "Dear Jesus, pease make Nina
dood dirl, and don't let her run
away from mamma" One day she
found one of her own curly hairs upon
her dress, and thinking it ought to be
with the others, she asked her mamma
to 'sew it on" Jam.
