self-indulgence. His Saviour left him no
such example. He associated with his
enemies TO seek and to save them that
were lost You associate with them for
other reasons. HIS warning was, "Watch
and pray lest we enter into temptation. -
You rush into temptation, in pursuit of
selfish enjoyment. You claim the right
to keep as near as possible to Sodom, so
long as it remains unburnt, that you may
partake of its goddess hospitality. The
voice of the warning angel is, Escape to
the mountains-tarry not in all the plain
lest thou be consumed"
If, however, the line cannot be drawn,
what right has a Christian to engage in
conduct of doubtful propriety? Does
conscience, with still small voice, ever
whisper that you are inconsistent? Then
1T is sacred duty to obey its admoni-
tions. If it makes no protest, are you
sure that it is not asleep? And granting
even this, as fact, is it safe to presume
upon 1T? How near may one 90 to an
infected house during fever epidemic?
If this cannot be determined, is it wise
to remain in that vicinity in pursuit of
pleasure and recreation? 1t is the ma
ture OF piety to dread sin as we would
the plague; and the self-distrusting Chris
tan will not continue in those selfish in
dulgences when the line between duty
and sin cannot be discovered. If the
boundary line is known, keep at a dis
lance from it; if it is unknown, so much
more keep away from it, ELDER.

Virginia Bible Society.

AS the Synod, at its late meeting, re-
commended that collection be taken by
the churches on the third Sabbath in
January, for the Virginia Bible Society,
1t may be of interest to the friends to
know what the Society is doing. Since
April, 1879, our missionaries have visited
IL ,822 families, 2, 131 of them were found
destitute of the Scriptures and nearly all
supplied, besides I,649 destitute indi-
yiduals. Fourteen thousand seven hun
dred and ffty-eight volumes have been
issued from the Depository in Richmond.
The greater portion of these are in the
hands of the people, and the balance will
soon be distributed by the missionaries
now at work
The restitution in some sections of the
State is very great. F. p. Gibson, mis-
sionary in Lee county, reports for Novem-
Der, 100 white families visited 40 of
whom were destitute; colored, and 8
destitute. A report Just received from
the Rev. L. II. Boyles, now laboring in
Patrick, states that he visited in one town
ship 800 white families, 1877 of which
were found destitute; 8 colored families
and destitute.
1HeSe are extreme cases, DuJ not un-
common. We need at least 81 900 to
purchase Bibles with to keep the mission
aries now under appointment at work.
Our stock furnished by the generosity of
the American Bible Society is 50 nearly
exhausted that we cannot fill an order
for the missionaries. Will the friends of
the Bible aid us in the prosecution Of this
work. If all of the churches will take
up collections and send us each a small
amount it will greatly help us at this
time. We do not ask for large contribu-
tons Send Us what you can spare after
you have met other and more pressing
demands. Very truly yours,
M. w. STAPLES, Secretary.

The Boundary Line.

One of the saddest evidences of religious
declension, is found in the necessity which
impels so many ministers to discuss GER
tain troublesome questions with increas-
ing frequency, in the pulpit and through
the press May 1 do this or that?" as
there any harm in such or such an in
dulgence?'-are forms of inquiry which
are continually repeated to pastors and
elders of the Church And, worse still.
our members are often heard, in the social
circle, expressing defiant determination
to do as they please, without regard to
the opinions or feelings of their spiritual
advisers.
On the other hand, these spiritual
tempting to solve the practical questions
that are persistently urged upon them.
Now, in the judgment of the present
writer, there is long, and also a short
way of dealing with such matters. The
long way, by means of laborious disserta-
ton, may illustrate the learning and abil-
ity, as well as the faithfulness of those
who adopt it but experience abundantly
shows that the current of worldly ten
denotes in the Church is little influenced
by such discussions. The short way, APP
pealing directly to the sleeping con
science, seems to be more efficacious.-
The difficulties propounded are generally
mere subterfuges And, besides, we can
not admit that everything is right which
cannot be proved to be wrong. Con
science is not pure intelligence. 1t is 9

Conformity to the world is plainly
forbidden in the Scriptures. But the
question is often pressed, How far may
[ go?' Revelation and logic have beer
employed with great labor to decide it
But leaving it undetermined, and ever
admitting that it is indeterminate. we
prefer to answer it by another. If sucl

Take any ten or twenty years of ordi-
narily faithful pastoral work, without
these new measures, and similar period
during which these measures have been
employed and the permanent growth, of
the church will be greater in the former
than in the latter.
Fevers are always followed by weak
ness and depression, and as the vital en-
ergies are consumed much more rapidly
than they are regained, the life of a
church where these measures are employed
becomes a series of brief excitement, fol-
lowed by long periods of GOODNESS and de-

ligion suffer, [ have recently traced the
history of one of our old congregations

healthy.
Experience teaches also that the gen
uine conversions at such seasons are al
most always from that class of persons
who have been religiously trained-the
children of the covenant-that the great
majority of others who seem to be con
verted, are like the stony ground hearers,
they soon fall away.
This occasions great difficulty in disci-
pline, and great discouragementin all the
work of the Church, and cannot fail to be
injurious to those who were self-deceived.
9TH. The only other objection to this
work that will mention, is that it cul-
tlvates false taste in the Church, an un-
settled state of feeling, a running after
every man or thing that cries "Lo here

his house, is lost sight of People run to

have written these things in no cap
tious or fault-fnding spirit, but from a
profound conviction that there is danger
Of our drifting, as a Church, into the whirl
OF excitement, that seems to be carrying
everything before it in other quarters.
1t will no doubt be said as one of your
correspondents recently said, "Some good
people are opposed to revivals" But the
trouble is, these revivalists fail to distin-
guish between opposition to their own
devices for getting up revivals, and the
revivals themselves. No good person,
.. e., Christian, can in the nature of the
case, oppose a revival of religion, because
that is the work of the Spirit of God, and
every Christian is led by the Spirit
and walks in the Spirit" To oppose
his work therefore involves a contradic-
ton; but | confess myselfutterly opposed
to the whole modern system of getting up
revivals as dependence on human devices
rather than on the word and Spirit OF
God. CRAMER.

THE OLD YEAR.

THE OLD YEAR.
Farewell Old Year,
We hold thee dear,
In grasp of memory's hand,
But on thy face,
Deep lies the trace,
OF sorrow oft to me,
When looking back on thee,
Old Year.
Farewell Old Year
Forevermore,
Linking eternity to come
To being gone,
With ages flown
Far through the shadows of the past,
And thou too art gone,
Old ear
Around thy neck,
When looking back,
Some days see as pearls
Strung crystal bright
Alas and now
Ger thy dark brow,
Some Irvine a crown of thorns,
Aud these are for all
To sorrow Ger,
Forevermore.
We give thee a tear
With our farewell, Old Year,
And watch thee fade slowly away.
Lo! the darkness steals fast
In the deep silent west
And thy last hour has vanished away,
Old Year
Ger the desolate trees
There comes a sad breeze
Like sigh from the bosom Of night,
It's the voice of star,
Waited down from afar,
To quicken the still New Year,
And soothe thee to rest.
Farewell

over, not knowing, of course, that anything
of value was damaged by his so doing; in
fact, it began to appear that Dick had q

intended for him, and that the proper way to

The Use Of the Lemon.

There are three ways of making lemonade:
To squeeze the juice into cold watter-this is
the shortest way; or 20 cut it in slices and
then boil it. Lemonade is one of the best
and safest drinks for person, whether in
health or not. 1t is suitable to all stomach
diseases; is excellent in sickness. The pips,
crushed, may ;lso he mixed with water, and
used as a drink. We advise everyone to
rub the gums daily with lemon juice,
to keep them in health. The
hands and nails are also kept clean'
white, soft and supple by the daily use
of lemon instead of soap 1t also prevents
chilblains. Lemon is used in intermittent
fevers, mixed with strong hot, black coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia may be relieved

to destroy dandruff on the head by rubbing
the roots of the hair with it.

A Pleasant Pig.

During the winter of 1875, received from
Mr.. Cross, Of Liverpool, a small box about
six inches square; upon opening the box wee
striped little pig, little bigger than rat, put
up his little snout and made a small squeak.
With the winter advancing, and knowing
from his form of ears that his native home
was in West Africa, took him out and gave
him a good feed of warm milk, boiled rice
and sugar, wrapped him up in flannel, and
sent him back to Liverpool with note to
say could not purchase him, as none of the
keepers would be troubled with such baby,
and l felt sure the poor little fellow would
die if placed in the collection. A day or two
afterward was surprised to receive the same
small box, and more so to find the unfOr-
tunate little pig inside and note from Cross
to say the animal was Of no use to him-he
could not be bothered with it-and as de-
clined to purchase it for the society, he begged
me to accept it and do what l pleased with
it. i felt hurt to find this poor little fellow
thus an outcast and apparently friendless.
