Wet the Ropes.

The following remarkable Illus
tration occurs in recent sermon
on Missions by Bishop Huntington
of Central New York:
Where the spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty. God will forgive
u.s. in our self-forgetting eagerness
to save our brothers and build wide
our Fathers house, we make here
or there a mistake, or overlook
some prudent caution. When the
great obelisk, brought down the
Mediterranean from -EgyRt. was
erected by Fontana in the square
of St. Peters, in 1886, it was de-
termined to make that gigantic
undertaking an incarnation of the
knowledge and resources of the
capital of the world, in the time of
Slxtus V. A. student ON the spot
has painted the scene in words. |
recall the description imperfectly.
The tackle was arranged. the hands
were picked and spotted every
precar ton was taken for the diff
cult and perilous work. So neces-
sary was silence deemed to prevent
a panic and a crash, that it was
agreed that whoever should utter a
loud word should be struck dead.
AS the majestic monolith swung
upon its end; the popu!ace closed
in, and the area was crowded to
The base. Slowly the huge monu-
ment Of Egyptian toll and sweat
rose--fve degrees, ten, fifteen, twen-
ty. Suddenly there are signs OF
faltering and a pause. No voice
speaks, under the penalty of death.
1t moves again under the pulleys
to the forty-third degree and stops.
The hempen cables begin to stretch
and give. The engineer tremhles ;
the masons look at one another
and wal ch in despair the hanging
mass of stone. Which way will II
fall? There was silence every
where. Tiptoed on a post, IN a
jacket of homespun, his figure
strained, and his face like proph-
cts. stood q workman OF the people.
From his lips, over that breathless
mass of men rang clear cry "Wet
the ropes - From the chief en-
gineer and his band of servants
that lawless shout had instant ODE
dience. Water was dashed upon
the cables, they bit tiercely at the
granite spar, the windlasses were
manned again, the obelisk rose tc
its place, and took its stand fol
centuries. Possibly God wants in
this Church, just now the fiery in
spiration Of uncalculating zeal and
a fearless faith more than mathe~
matical proportions or a faultlessly Y
adjusted scheme. All honor to the
regulation of the ropes but If they
are dry and weak, and give, he
will be pardoned who pours over
them living and saving water. /
shall come to'pass in the lass days
saith God. l will pour ont My spiri
upon all flesh. Your young mer
shall see visions, and your old mer
shall dream dreams and | will show
wonders in heaven above, and sign
in the heaven above, and in th'
earth beneath. And whosoeve
shall call on the name of the Lore
shall be saved"

ak at Home

Endeavor always to talk your
best before your children. They
hunger perpetually for new ideas.
They will learn with pleasure from
the lips of parents what they deem
it drudgery to learn from books ;
and, even if they have the m;sfor-
tune to be deprived of many edu-
cational advantages, they will grow
up intelligent if they enjoy in
childhood the privilege of listening
daily to the conversation of intelli-
gent people. We sometimes see
parents. who are the life of every
company Which they enter, dull,
silent, and uninteresting at home
among their children. If they
have not mental stores sufficient
for both, let them first use what
they have for their own house
hold.
A silent home is dull place
for young people, a place from
which they will escape if they can.
How much useful information, on
the other hand, is often given in
pleasant family conversation and
what unconscious but excellent
mental training in lively social ar
gument! Cultivate to the utmost
the graceS of conversation.
Episcopal Recorder.
A Puritan in Boston writes thus
of the Church "To go to it, to
become allied with its venerable
forms, holy examples, inspiring
sentiments and unshaken truths,
seems the logic of plain sense
Here ls body of worshlppers
tracing descent through the Church
of Eng!and-thc stream of price
less hoons to mankind. We all
know that no Church exists so free
SO modern, so progressive as the
Church of England, and abreast Of
it. twenty-five years from now
will the Episcopal Church Of
America be. Yet what deep roots
into the past !! What symbols o.
beauty What traditions of de-
votion 1! What ancestral glory
and what elemental principles

AN ALLEGED NORTH CAROLINA
RoMANcE.-Mr. Eddy gave Miss
Hintzlcman fine set of lewelry, at
Newbcrn, N. c., and she wore it
for several weeks. Then he brought
suit to recover it, on the ground
that he had simply lent it to her.
She testified that, by the terms of
mutual agreement, she was to
ray for the jewelry by kissing Mr.,
Eddy every morning for hundred
days. He called aud got his kiss,
on his way TO work, every day tor
about a mcnth. Then he grew
bold and wanted to take e hug ai
well as kiss. There was no pro-
vision in the bargain fer hngging
and she repuIsed him, even re-
stricting his kisses to mere touc!
of his lips to her check. He thought
he was being cheated, and hence
his efforts to recover.
