The Shore of Eternity.

Alone to land upon that shore
To begin alone to live for evermore,
To have no one to teach
The manners or the speech
Of that new life, or put us at our ease
o that we might die in pairs or companies
Alone the God we trust is on that shore,
The Faithful One whom we have trusted more
In trials and in Woes
Than we have trusted those
On whom we leaned most in our earthly strife,
0 we shall trust Him more in that new life
So not alone we land upon that shore;
Twill be as though we had been there before,
We shall meet more we know
Than we can meet below,
And find our rest like some returning dove,
And be at home at once with our Eternal Love

Books AND READING; or, What Books Shall I

The young man or the young woman of to.
day stands bewildered in the forest of literature
NOT knowing where to turn amid the em5arros
des releases. Too many books may prove as
great an evil as too few. To know what to read
and how to read is one of the greatest lessons of
life among cultivated people. 1t is the object of
the present volume to answer these questions
and if one were to cast his eyes over the coun.
try, where could he find one better qualified by
the range of his studies, the vigor of his mind.
and the soundness of his views, to direct the
reading of the young student than the dstin-
guished President of Yale College-the author
OF probably the best work ever published on
Psychology The Human Intellect The char
acter of the book will be best understood by
naming the following among the topics treated
in its twenty two chapters: How to Read; The
Influence of Books on Opinions and Principles;
Reading of Fiction Imaginative Literature;
Religious Character and Influence of Reading
How to Read History A Course of Historical
Reading; Biography; Novels Poetry; Books of
Science; Religious Books and Sunday Reading,
etc.
An Appendix to the volume has been pre-
pared by Mr.. James NJ. Hubbard, late of the
Boston Public Library, giving an extended Cat
alogue Of desirable books in the several depart
ments of science and literature
We need not add, after what we have said,
that we cordially recommend the work with the
confident assurance that the perusal of it will
save much time and labor to those who desire to
go through course of general reading.

Nearer, My God, to Thee. };

Ihls language Is the heart-utterance
of Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, who was
born in Cambridge, England, in Febru-
airy, 1905, and whose history has been
but very slightly known to the great
public, who have cherished her hymns
as one of their most sacred treasures for
nearly half century. Her father was
the editor of a weekly Cambridge paper.
Her mother was woman of fine gifts
and culture, and she herself was the
youngest child. She was noted in early
lite for the taste she manifested in lit
erature, and In maturer years for great
zeal and earnestness in her religious life.
She contributed prose and verse to the
periodicals of the day, and her art criti
clsms were valued. Married at an early
age, and of frail constitution, she still
amid many bodily suferings, kept her
pen busy, her thoughts and writings
always tending upwards. At what time
and amid what circumstances she caught
the inspiration from which was evolved
that wonderful hymn which has ever
since echoed round and round the globe,
is not known; but it was probably dur
ing some period of peculiar trial, when
her spirit was uplifted through sorrow
almost above its earthly body. She lit
tie dreamed that her hymn, like those
OF Toplady, Charlotte Elliott, and Raw
Palmer, would be heard through the
ages
1t was first published in 1841, in a
volume of sacred lyrics issued by a Mr..
Fox, of England, just eight years before
the death OF the gifted authoress, who
only lived to the age of forty-four, and
thus never knew the fame which was to
attach to her hymn and her name.
The hymn soon began to appear in
various collections, and was everywhere
received with deli ght. 1t was given the
tune Bethany, which became very
popular in this country. Everybody
who has grown up in Christian land
knows it by heart, and in many coun-
tries which do not float the banner of
Christ it is almost equally familiar.
Last year, says DIR. Cuyler in his
Heart Life "Profs. Smith, Hitch
cock, and Park, as they wound their way
down the foot hills of Mt. Lebanon came
IN sight of a group of fifty Syrian stu
dents, standing in line singing in
chorus. They were the students Of the
new college of Beirut, at Abieh, and
they were singing in Arabic to the tune
OF Bethany. As the procession drew
near they caught the sublime words:
Nearer, my God, to thee:
Nearer to thee;
Fen though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be-
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
| am not much given to the weeping
mood, said Prof. Hitchcock, when de.
scrlbing the thrilling scence; but when
we rode through the ranks of those Syrian
youths, confess that my eyes were lit
tie damp"
If it be permitted to the departed
people OF God" continues DR.. Cuyler, "tc

LECTURES IN Defence OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
BY Professor F. Godet, author of Commenta.

$50. Price $1.25. For sale in this CITY BY by
the Presbyterian Publishing Company, Main
street.
The name of Professor Godet has become ia
miliar to Englishmen and Americans as one of
the ablest and most evangelical of the Biblical
scholars of the continent. There are seven lee
lures in the present volume, as follows: The Re-
.surrection of Jesus Christ; The Hypothesis of
Visions The Miracles of Jesus Christ; The Su
pernaturali The Perfect Holiness of Jesus Christ;
The Divinity of Jesus Christ The Immutabili-
ty of the Apostolic Gospel We have cause to
congratulate ourselves, not only that there are
evangelical men in Switzerland, Germany,
France, able to meet the Rationalism which pre-
walls there on its own ground, and to fight it
with its own weapons, but that the English
reader has now access to such works as those of
Christlieb and Godet in excellent translatons.
1t not only gratifes curiosity to look at
these questions they are looked at by the
scholars Of other countries but it is of great adj
vantage to have this ready access to the best
learning and the best thoughts of the European
mind. We have been especially pleased with
the lecture in the present volume on the Resur-
rection. 1t is marked by great acuteness, origi-
nality, and learning.

Bishop Simson in his opening ser

gave the following illustration of the
unity of the different Methodist bod
les: L was walking some weeks
since, in a beautiful grove. The trees
were some distance apart, and the
trunks were straight and rugged.
But as they assembled higher the
branches came closer together. and
still higher the twigs and branches
interlaced and formed a beautiful can
opy. I said to myself: Our church
es resemble these trees. The trunks
near the earth stand stiffiy and wide
apart. The more nearly to heaven
they ascend the closer and clos er they
come together, until they form one
beautiful canopy, under which the
sons of men enjoy both shelter and
happiness
