in our own cause we are apt TO be par
tial; we must not Judge the hearts Of
others, nor their intentions, for IL Is
God prerogative to try the heart, and we
must not step into His throne; nor must
we Judge Of their eternal state, nor call
them hypocrites, reprobates and cast
aways; that is stretching beyond our
line; what have we to do thus TO Judge
another mans servantP Counsel him
and help him, but do not Judge him"
The unseemliness of uncharitable
Judgment is apparent when we consider
how much need every man has of char
table Judgment for himself. The CEN
serious are always the most subjected
to censure; and If we refuse charity to
others we ought to be very sure that
we can do without it ourselves. So
long as there is any glass about our
houses it does not become us to throw
stones. The truth of that Scripture
saying is apparent even in this world,
"He shall have judgment without
mercy that showed no mercy" And
when we look forward to that judg-
ment which all alike must meet at last,
the presumption of our unoharitable
judgments of each other here appears
| IN the most glarlng light.
Uncharitable judging is to be guard
ed against, because it is unfair and al
ways unseemly; but still further, and
above all, because it is unchristian.
There is none of that charity in it
that Christian love-without VIII ch the
most distinguished religious profession
is sounding brass and tinkling GYM
bal; none of the love that suffereth
long and is kind and thinketh no evil,
and cOvereth all sins Severity of
Judgment, even when not actually un-
just, is hurtful. 1t hardens the heart
of him who practices it, encourages
odious pride and self-sufliciency; and
it provokes only bitter feelings on the
part of him who is subjected to it,
tending to confirm him as a sort of de-
fiance and retaliation in the very prac-
tees so harshly condemned.
There are no more fiagrant instances
of uncharitable judging-and no cases
in which it intlicts greater injury
are often seen in the treatment of chill
dren by grown persons. A trihing fault
is magnitied into grave and deliber-
ately-planned offense. Motives are at
tributed to the thoughtless little trans
gressors which could only belong to a
far more advanced stage of mental de-
velopment; and not only is gross in
justice done and the keen pain of it in
flicted, but many times the young soul
is made disingenuOus and revengeful by
being unfairly suspected and accused of
deceit or revenge. We need not be
afraid of having too much charity; and
a safe general rule is, when we can find
nothing good to say of man, to say
nothing. .-EGaDtaer and Chronicle.

A Sunday Scene in the Gallery Of New
York Church.

A class of ten Chinese youths has
been gathered in this city by Mrs. Au-
gusta Carlo, formerly of San Francisco.
Her principal object is to teach them
Christianity; theirs is to learn to read
English. They read out of the Bible
and other Christian books, and Mrs.
Carlo adds explanations and sugges-
tions, while at the same time she con-
scientiously corrects their pronuncia-
ton. She is assisted by several other
ladies, and when it is possible each
Chinese pupil has teacher assigned to
him. They accept the teachings of
Christianity with expressions of belief
and sympathy. When the story of the
cruciixion was told them, one said:
"But they didn't really nail him on
the cross, did theyP"
"Oh! yes was the reply.
"Who didp'
1.-THE Jews"
"Bad Jews, bad jews" exclaimed
several of the pupils, with execration
expressed on their countenances.
Then Mrs. Carlo told them that it was
sin that caused his death, and that all
who sinned must hold themselves re-
sponsible for the crucifxion, the Jews
having been only the instrument. This
explanation was accepted by them.
All Wing, who studied drawing in the
Cooper Institute School of Design, is
Mrs. Carto's chief assistant. 1t was
through him that she was able to bring to-
gether so many of his countrymen. They
are all well dressed, but in the Chinese
fashion. All wear glossy, braided cues
coiled on the tops of their heads. All
Wing, who is about twenty-five
years old, has handsome watch, which
he carries in pocket on the right side
of his coat or tunic. Yesterday he
brought to the Trinity Baptist Church,
in the east gallery of which the class
meets at three o'clock every Sunday,
an album belonging to young lady of
the congregation, in which he had
drawn in water colors a bird perched
on a sprig. The drawing was much ad-
mired. Above the bird, in blank
space left for the purpose, was senti-
ment composed by himself in good En-
glish, expressing the hope that, as the
birds sing and are happy, so might the
life of his friend be one of happiness
and song. The handwriting was excel
lent. The method of teaching is to al
low the pupils to spell the words out as
well as they can, and TO help them
when they fail, They are polite, as
well as eager to learn, and the teachers
find it pleasure to instruct them. On
the other hand they are so warmly
greeted by every one connected with
the congregation that when a stranger
approaches them inside the church they
are apt to extend their hands, under
the expectation that he means to shake
hands with them. The Rev. DIR. James
b. Simmons, the pastor of the church,
is warmly interested in tue Chinese,
and when Mrs. Carlo explained to him
difficulty that met her when she first
began to work among them in New
York-that is, her inability to get a
place where class could assemble
comfortably and in quietude--he at
once offered her the use of his church
during the Sunday-school hours. She
selected the gallery, in order to remove
the strangely-costumed youths from the
curious and distracting attention of the
many children on the floor Y. Su1

The Habit of Uncharitnbly Judging.

Consciousness - making ourselves
critics for the mere pleasure of criti-
cizing-is habit as easy to form as it
is hard to break. We have only to ex-
anime our own hearts, and take note
of the sharp words that rise so readily
to our lips and are often so thought
lessly uttered, in order to feel the force
and the need of the Great Teachers
precept against uncharitable Judging.
In support of that precept our CON
sciousness testifies that uncharitable
judging is, as a general rule, unfair.
1t is rash, given at the prompting not
of reason, but of impulse, and OF i'm
pulse which is pretty sure to be ill
natured. 1t win not, therefore, be
based on sufficient grounds, but will
jump hastily at unfavOrable con-
clusions. We never can form an in
telligent estimate of the character and
actions of another without to some ex-
tent "puttH & ourselves in his place."
making the allowances that his posi-
tion and circumstances demand, and
putting the best construction we can
on everything. We ought at least to
be as leniently disposed as the law,
which holds the accused man innocent
until he is proved guilty.
But on the contrary, the ordinary
tendency is at once to believe the worst,
to hold our friend, of whom we have
never had occasion to think otherwise
than WELL guilty until he can prove
himself innocent, and often no oppor-
tunity to do that is given to the object
of our undeserved structures. Judge
not harshly, pass not such a Judgment
upon our brother as hath no ground,
but is only the product of our own ieal-
ousy and ill-nature; we must not make
the worst of people, nor infer such in
vidious things from their words and
actions as they will not bear. Judge not
uncharitably, and numerically, and
with a spirit of revenge, and desire to
do him mischief judge not of mans
state by a single act, nor of what he is
in himself by what he is to us, because
