ferent man. Better acquaintance with his
subject had changed him from a hostile
critic 10 loving advocate. He wrote with
increasing light breaking into his mind and
glowing under his pen. His work was
triumph, but not at all of the kind he had
first intended. II is, in fact, one OF the best
commentaries we have on the glorious event
which Easter Day commentaries. Lord
Lyttleton, who chose the Conversion of st..
Paul for his subject of ridicule, had an ex-
perience very similar, and the result of his
first honest study of the Scriptures was the
same. Lyttleton on Paul's Conversion, and
West on the Resurrection, are standard
books that will always be thought of to-
gether-the monuments Of two men who
were skeptics when they began their work,
and believers when they performed and fin
ished it.-Selected.

An Incident with a Moral.

A preacher in western state, being |
called upon by Bishop Morris to report his |
missionary collection in open conference, |
made this statement: At the last confer |
ence | was sent to church that had never |
done much for missions. All they permit |
ted was plate collection once year.
When l went there the church needed re- |
pairing and the parsonage must be rebuilt
and having to raise so much money for |
themselves, they resolved that they must |
withhold their usual missionary contribu-
tion, for that year at least, and the pastor
accordingly was requested not to present
the cause. As they presented the case to
me- it seemed Almost a case of necessity. III
fell into the trap, and we agreed TO take no
missionary collection. "The very next Sun
day, as was my custom, invited persons to
come forward. Among those who presented
themselves was young girl who had been
away TO school, but whose mother was very
SICK and had called her home to attend TO
her. As she handed me her certificate of
membership, she asked me if we had ap-
pointed our missionary collectors for the
year, saying that she had been one Of the
collectors in the church where she had at
tended school-that she loved the work, and
would be glad to continue it. / stated to
her the action of the official board, and that
we would not raise any missionary money
this year. Her countenance fell. She was
sad, and returned to her pew. Early the
next morning she called on me for col
lector's book. | told her | had none-in-
deed, there had never been one in that
| church. Whereupon she wrote TO her for
mer pastor, requesting him to send her
missionary collectors book. In due course
of mail it came, and she presented it to me
that ! should certify to her good character,
and that she was authorized to receive
money for the support of missions. "The
whole affair soon passed out of my mind.
We repaired the church, we rebuilt the par
sonage, and the bills were paid. Yesterday
morning. when starting for conference,
saw that young girl coming through the
gate and up the walk to my house. AS she
came in she said, Il understand you are
going to conference Yes, was the reply.
Here, she said, is a little missionary
money which | have gathered during the
year, and the faithful girl counted out
seventy-six dollars which she had quietly
collected in church and community where
they had never given more than twenty-five
dollars under the most stirring appeals Of
the pastor, and when they had resolved to
withhold even this amount for that year
Bishop, my missionary collection is seventy
six dollars" This incident, adds Bishop
Morris, is full of instruction and encourage
ment. If all our people are trained to love
the cause OF missions, and act for it, as was
this young Christian, there is no power on
earth or in hell that can overthrow the mis-
sionary enterprise Recorder.

Evening Rest.

The day is over, and we gather for
quiet evening in our sitting-room-the heart
of our home. Bright eyes and pleasant
faces greet us, and we feel that indeed it is
a delightsome resting-place. The cares and
anxieties of the day melt into nothingness
within its genial atmosphere, or, as we talk
them over with each other, assume less
formidable shape We take up our work,
while one of our number reads from the
latest magazine, paper, or favorite author;
the wind blows keen and sharp without, and
the storm beats pitilessly but what care
we q? Within is summer weather. Our neigh
Dor over the way, tired with the noise OF
houseful of romping girls and boys, sees the
light from our window and braves the
weather for an hour of pleasant companion
ship. There is room for her and welcome,
and as we listen to her joys and sympathize
in her trials, we find comfort and blessing
for ourselves. Many, in consequence of in
Vulnerable little things, feel that an evening
| devoted to reading and conversation is mis-
spent To look well to the ways OF the
household is wise and prudent, they con-
slider, but take no thought of the injury they
are doing both to mind and body by over
tapping the day far into the night. To them
we would say, there are many things allow
able in the sitting-room besides reading and
conversation sewing and crocheting are al
ways in order, and frequently, if need be,
some obituary work. snch as the preparing
OF fruit for some part of the next days meal,
would perhaps not be out of place, and
would have added to it flavor that could
not be gained in the kitchen. Those of you
who are constantly at work, and leave all
the rest and enjoyment for others, must
omit some of your so-called duties throw
open your sitting-rooms in the evening,
bring in the children, have music and
romp with them before they leave you for
the night, and in after years the recollection
of their childhood home will be their pleas
ATTEST memory. Meanwhile you will keep
your own heart young. The clouds may
gather and the shadows deepen, but at the
even-time, type of the even-tide OF earthly
life, cometh rest. We fold our work, lay
aside our book, and as we turn out the light,
bid each other goodnight, refreshed and
strengthened to begin again the morrows
toil.-Christian at Work.

Our Guide.

A father and his little son were once riding
along a familiar road with gentle horse.
To crafty his child the father placed the
reins in his hand, but at the same time, un-
seen, retained his own hold on them. AS
they rode on they saw approaching them, at
terrible speed, a runaway team. The danger
was great and imminent. But the father
guided his horse so that collision was
avoided and the danger escaped. When all
was over, the little son looked up to his
father, and with choked uttsrance said, "
thought was driving, but wasn't, was /,
papa Z" So often does the child of God,
when some peril has been escaped, or some
deliverance has been vouchsafed in ways un-
foreseen and unthought of, have occasion to
say " Father, / thought was driving, but
wasn't" 1t is blessed to feel that the
reigns are in the hands OF one mightier and
wiser than we are Wdtchmdn.

Good from our Neighb0rs.

1t is impossible to estimate the many
helps for our life work which come to us
from association with our neighbors. No
two of them possess the same peculiarities
or ride the same hobbies yet all have some
excellent qualities, and all have some fail
ings, and we may find help and instruction
from either. There is Mrs. A, who is such
a nice housekeeper. If we step in and sit
for a few moments in her neat, shining
kitchen, we come home with a new impetus
to brighten things" We can hardly wait
to get our gloves off before commencing to
polish the window.glass or dust the mantel.
There is Mrs. B, who, without neglecting
house affairs, manages to read and accom-
plish such wonders for her own culture and
that of her family. A chat with her has
sharpsned our appetite for solid reading, and
given us ideas with which TO make ourselves
entertaining in the coming twilight-that
sweet time when We always want to be at
home. Mrs. c is an invalid, but always so
patient and sweettempered that to witness
her calm and cheerful demeanor gives us a
new strength to bear the transient headache
or the morning depression after hard day.
If another is too gossipy or fault-hnding, we
NAV CLEAN a warning for ourselves. So all
our neighbors help us; and we, In turn,
must owe them something-an example,
giving them of our best, whatever it is, for
their help; and gratitude which shall make
it a very easy matter to obey the divine
command, "Love thy neighbor as thyself,"

"The ResurrectlOn.v

1t has been remarked that the most eager
opposers of the Bible are those who know
least about it. The story of two brilliant
men who undertook to cast scorn upon the
New Testament, and ended by becoming its
defenders, is one of the best illustrations of
the effect of thoroughly studying the Word
of God. Lord Lyttleton and Gilbert West,
both men of influence, but skeptical with
regard TO Christianity, once made an agree
ment that each should write criticism on
some New Testament miracle, showing its
"absurdity," and holding it up TO ridicule.
Gilbert West chose the resurrection of Christ.

Our Reckoning.

"Where am 2" A sea captain in the
Bay of Bengal lost his reckoning. The wa
ters where his ship was floating were discol-
ored an indication that he was near the
mouth of some river, not far from land but
where, he could not tell. He dared not go
onward. just then ship hove in sight I;
and as it was passing the perplexed captain
ran up to mast head the signal, "Where am
2" And in response he read from the
mast head of the passing vessel the signal
telling him the latitude and longitude. How
many voyagers on the sea Of life need to ask
the question, "Where am | Z" Adrift in the
mist and gloom of unbelief they have lost
their reckoning. Are they too proud to ask
those on board of the old ship Zion, as it
passes near them, for information concern
ing their spiritual latitude and longitude p

THE LIFE TO COME.

Oh, long the weary visils since you left mel
In your far home, wonder, can you know
To what dread uttennoet your loss bereft me,
Or half II meant TO me that you should go?
This world Ia full. indeed, Of fair hopes perished,
And loves more fleet than this poor heeting breath;
But that deep heart in which my heart cherished
Must surely survive what we call death.
They cannot cease-our own true dead-to love us,
And you will hear this far-off cry Of mine,
Though you keep holiday 40 high above us,
Where all the happy spirits sing and shine.
