Some months ago, Rev. Washington Glad.
den Of Springfield, Massachusetts,, believing
that if he could find out how the active aud
prominent men of his own city spent their
boyhood, ii would help to solve the problem
of what is the best training for boys, pre-
pared the following circular, which was sent
to the one hundred men who could fairly be
said TO stand at the head of the financial,
commercial, professional and educational in
terests of the city.
Ny Dear Sir IL desire to find out, for the
benefit of the boys, how the leading men Of this
city spent their boyhood. VIII you be kind enough
to tell me First, whether your home during the
first fifteen years Of your life was on a farm, in
village, or In city, and Second, whether you
were accustomed, during any part Of that period,
10 engage In any kind OF work when you were not
in schoolY should be glad Of course, to have
you go into particulars as fully rs you are dis
posed to do but do not wish u tax your pa
tience, and shall he greatly obliged for a simple
answer to these two questions.
No less than eighty-eight of the busy
gentlemen who received this circular were
kind enough 10 answer the questions-some
of them briefly, most Of them quite fully,
and it turned out that few had been brought
up like most of the boys who crowd the ball.
grounds and fill the streets Of our cities in
these later days. Here is a brief summary
Of the returns OF these eighty-eight men,
twelve spent the first fifteen years of their
life in the city, twelve in the villages, and
sixty-four were farmers boys. But of the
twenty-four who lived in villages and cities,
six were practically farmers boys, for they
lived in small villages, or on the outskirts of
cities aud had the same kind Of work 10 do
that farmers boys have. One of these vii.

The Effects OF Christianity.

The effects of the work of Christ are
even to the unbeliever indisputable and his
torical. 1t expelled cruelty, it curbed pas
sion, it branded suicide, it punished and
repressed an exeorable infanticide, it drove
the shameless impurities of heathendom
into a congenial darkness. There was hardly
a class whose wrongs 1t did not remedy. IL
rescued the gladiator, it freed the slave, it
protected the captive it nursed the sick, w.
sheltered the orphan, 1t elevated the woman,
it shrouded us with halo of sacred inno-
cence, the tender years of the child. In
every region of life its ameliorating inau-
ence was felt. 1t changed pity from a vice
into virtue. 1t elevated poverty from
curse into beatitude. 1t ennobled labor
from vulgarity into dignity and a duty.
IL sanctified marriage from little more than
burdensome convention into little less than
a blessed sacrament 1t revealed for the
first time the angelic beauty of purity of
which men had despaired, and Of meek
ness at which they had utterly scoffed. 1t
created the very conception of charity, and
broadened the limits of its obligation from
the narrow circle of neighborhood TO the
widest horizons of the race. And while it
thus involved the idea OF humanity as a
common brotherhood, even where its tidings
were not believed-all over the world, wher-
ever its tidings were believed it cleansed
the life and elevated the soul of each ndi-
vidnal man. And in all lands where it has
moulded the characters of its true believers
it has created hearts so pure, and lives so
peaceful, and homes so sweet, that it might
seem as though angels who had heralded its
advent had also whispered to every depressed
and despsiring sufferer among the sons OF
men, Though you have lien among the
pots, yet shall ye be as wings of dove, that
is covered with silver wings and her feathers
like gold."-Dr. Farrar's Life of Christ
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1880-03-24
Settled In Heaven.

"Forever. o Lord thy Word is settled in
heaven" If it were settled on earth it might
easily be unsettled; if it were settled by
men, by popes, cardinals, doctors, or divines,
it would be light task to unsettle it; for
history reveals to us doctors against doctors,
councils against councils, divines against
divines, and popes against popes. But that
which is settled in heaven remains. Moth.
ing can change or reverse the decisions that
are settled there. The words that are settled
in heaven endure. Names that are written
in heaven are written where men can never
erase them. While human opinions change,
and earthly theories and notions vanish like
dream, yet on through the roll and wreck
of passing events still Gods sacred Word
abideth faithful and endureth forever. In.
tidels have denied it, scotfers have derided
it, and skeptics have doubted it, but though
infidels, skeptics and scoffers have gone
down to their forgotten graves, that Word,
forever settled in heaven, abides unshaken
for the comfort and support of Gods wait.

If | were to come down the street and de-

was preaching in the Columbus penitentiary
once, and was told that the governor con.
sented that five men should be pardoned for
good behavior, not letting them know any
thing about it. Que day about eleven hun
dred prisoners were in the chapel, when the
president OF the commission said to them /:
" / hold in my hand to-day pardons for five
men," Every man was as silent as the grave
with expectation. He began to tell them
how the pardons were acquired. The chap
lain said the suspense was too great, and he
called out, az the first, Reuben johnson I
Reuben johnson will come forward and get
his pardon" But no one came. We beck.
oned to him as he sat there, but he looked
around to his rear. He had been there nine
teen years, and was in for life. He had
been looking around to see the other Reuben
johnson VINO was pardoned. lie could not
believe it was himself. AT last the chaplain
said, Reuben, you are the man" He got
partly out OF his seat, but weeping, fell back
again. lie could not believe 1t yet the
news was too good to be true. AT last the
man came up, trembling from head to foot,
aud looked at it, and wept aloud, and could
scarcely believe it still Suppose the gov
ernor had said, Whosoever will, let him
come to Inc, and will pardon him." The
whole eleven hundred would have at once
jumped to their feet Richard Baxter said,
"whosoever " is there il it had been Rich
ard Baxter" he could not have believed it
was meant for him--there might have been
some other Richard Baxter, but whosoever
meant him. After our Lord had gone to
heaven he caught Joh1 up in the Isle of
Patmos and told him TO write certain things
TO the churches, and keep on writing aud
just before you seal it, john, write; The
Spirit and the Bride say come, and let him
that heareth say come" Some will not
hear SO, "let him that is athirst come, and
whosoever will let him take the water oil
life freely" Is not that broad enough for
you Then you can accept this invitation
now if you will.-D. L. Moody.
