ing the benefits likely to accrue from serving God he is To Christian. Yeu may sing and talk about white robes, golden crowns, palms, etc. but to hear Jesus say Well done, good and faithful friend"-that is enough.
 The joys of Christian life must be felt to be known. The rewards can't be described. Christian service is Christian service, no more, no less. It must be willing to do everything, and is willing to do and to go anywhere. It won't growl and fret and find fault because of loss of place, but rejoice and work on. True friendship does not make dreamers, but workers. The more work the more joy. The old philosophers found no real happiness for they rested and contemplated when they should have worked. If one shouts and sings and doesn't work his religion IS spurious and must be looked to. We shall not ascend to the place of well doing until we reach the mark of labor with and for Christ. Let labor blossom into song and aspiration into the iof- 'iest prayer, and the soul wlll say in raptures,
 Lord, here am I-everything is for thee, nothing I have, only my life and I lay it down. Use me-"

The Precious Bible.

We are begotten by the word of God
1T is the instrumental means of regenera-
ton. Therefore love your Bibles. Keep
close to your Bibles.
You seeking sinners, you who are seek
ing the Lord, your first business is to
believe in the Lord Jesus Christ; but
while you are yet in darkness and in
gloom. oh, love your Bible and search
them ! Take them to bed with you; and
when you wake up in the morning, if it
is too early to go downstairs and disturb
the house, get half-an-hour of reading
upstairs. Say, Lord guide me to that
text which shall bless me. Help me to
understand how I, poor sinner, can be
reconciled to Thee"
[ recollect how, when I was seeking
the Lord, I went to my Bible, and to

Him. That fear used to haunt me; but

There was never a soul that did sin
cerely seek for Jesus in the Word, but
by-and-by he stumbled on the precious
truth that Christ was near at hand, and
did not want any looking for; that He
was really there, only they, poor blind
creatures, were in.such maze, that they
could not just then see Him. Oh, cling
you to Scripture Scripture is not Christ;
but it is the silken clue which will lead
you to Him. Follow its leading faithfully.
When you have received regeneration
and new life keep on reading, because
1t will comfort you. You will see more
of what the Lord has done for you.
You will learn that you are redeemed,
adopted, saved, sanctifed. Half the
errors in the world spring from people
not reading their Bibles. Would any
body think that the Lord would leave
any one of his dear children to perish, if
he read such text as this,-"I give un-
to my sheep eternal life, and they shall
never perish, neither shall any pluck
them out of Ny hand ?" When I read
that. l am sure Of the final perseverance
of the saints. Read, then, the Word,
and it will be much for your comfort.
1t will be for your nourishment, too.
1t is your food as well as your life
Search it, and you will grow strong in
the Lord and in the power of his might.
1t will be for your guidance also, I
am sure, those go rightest, who keep
'closest to the book. Oftentimes, when
you do not know what to do, you will
see a text leaping up out of the book, and
saying, Follow me-" l have seen a
promise sometimes blaze out before my
eyes, just as when an illuminated device
flames forth upon public building.
One touch of fame, and sentence or a

Oar BHriai Haccs.-Near us are two cities Of
the dcad-Loulon Park and Mount Olivet. These
beautiful places furnish evidence Of culture, taste,
and the sacred memory Of departed friends. The
latter is the resting place Of four Bishops, whose
ashes roposc by the side OF noble band of timer
ant pioneer ministers Of the gospel. In our early
history some were prominent rs leaders Of the
hosts who lead the way to the settlement Of our
extended country.
Temperance Recommendations the
country around these cemeteries abound in drink
ing saloons. Yet there are those who advocate
the cause of temperance and seek 10 reclaim the
druHkarl. The Mount Olivet Lodge Of the order
OF Good Tcmplars. has been an earnest worker in
the good cause. Needing means 10 carry on their
good work, instead Of appealing TO the people for
contributions, they held dairy maids recep-
