David's cymbal was one of tie most in

mention. The allusion to the grounds
being cursed for mans sake in verse 80,
at once brings back the name Jehovah.
Elohim's creation is before us in chap
ter vi, marred by sin, but under His care
and government, where His moral deal
ings with man by His Spirit, and in judg-
ment, and IN. favor to righteous Noah,
come into view, the name Jehovah always
recurs Tvs. 3, 6, Z, 81 So in chapter vii
we see righteous Noah, clean animals by
sevens, unclean by only twos, with evil
dent regard to sacrifices, all under Je-
hovah's care. The very same objects
viewed as Elohim's creation, to be pre-
served by Him, are under Elohim's care.
Thus in verse l6 they go into the ark
two and two of all flesh to preserve life,
as Elohim commands. But Jehovah shuts
in Noah whom he finds righteous. The
conjunction of the two names in the same
verse is striking. In all chapter viii it is
again Elohim caring for His creation,
until in verses CO. 81, Jehovah's name
recurs in. beautiful accord in connection
with Noah's sacrifices.
What field of human history opens
up in chap. TX: VS.. 26, 81, in the Jehovah
GIoHlm OF Onem as cOntraSted with the
Elohim of Japheth. The moral roots of
the empire of Babylon are laid bare in
chap. x: 9, and chap. xi: 10, all in con-
nection with Jehovah, not Elohim.
My limits forbid further detail. Jonah
furnishes remarkable instances of the
incest discrimination in the use of these
names. Also Proverbs and Ecclesiastes,
the former giving precepts of godly liv-
ing for those in known special relation
ship to Jehovah, using only the name
Jehovah with few striking exceptions;
the latter picturing the vanity of mans
path as man, using only Eiohim. The
Psalms give abundant and most remark
able confirmation of these distinctions,
nor can they be fully understood with
out recognition of them.
The subject expands before us. But
we can only add, -that while the use of
these, and other names of God also, is a
stumblingblock to superficial cavillers
and'a knot of real difficulty to the devout
at first view, they will all upon reverent
study, when we come to understand them
by Gods spirit, give real and deep in
sight into the divine projections OF Gods
Holy Word. WIN. DINw1DD1E.

A Trihing Thing.

One has said that cit is hard telling
what trife means" Everything in
nature seems to be closely connected
with everything else. An undue pre-
ponderance Of one force sets in motion all
other forces. The eddying of few par
ticles of air may give rise to tornado.
A few drops of oil slowly leaking from
cask may seem Of little account; but in
due time the vessel will be empty. A
small pin, bolt or screw out of place may
stop powerful engine A particle Of
dust may stop or render chronometer
useless as time-keeper. The prick of
pin in a balloon may destroy it. Another
writer has put the thong ht in a still
stronger light "There is no such thing
as a trife. Any person who has lived
many years, and been engaged in the
transactions of daily life, will certainly
appreciate this question. A useless ex-
pense of a few cents daily to a laboring
man will amount to no such sum in a
series of years, with judicious expendi-
ture in the same way will be exhibited
in few years in the general appearance
of thrift all around such man. To
know how to do things in the best posi-
BILE manner involves knowledge of a
thousand little things to insure success.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-06-08

AS we go on through life, if we have
learned our lessons well, our disappoint
ments have less bitterness for us. Look
ing back over past experiences we see how
the skilful hand of God has brought good
out of so much that seemed iii at the
time, and wrought beauty out of SO much
that seemed marring and failure, and
thus taught we learn to expect the same
in all cases. This is Gods way of deal
ing with us. How happy for us that it
is so What ruinous failure life would
be for US in the end if everything were
allowed to remain just as it passes from
our hands But the Master takes up
our poor efforts at living and by his
touch transmutes blemish into beauty.
Hence it is that growing faith fears less
and less, as it goes on, from the. seeming
misfortunes and calamities of life. Some.
how, sometime, good will come out of
them all, for God rules, and the key note
OF his providence is love. "1 know the
thoughts that think toward thee, saith
the Lord, thoughts Of peace and not Of
evil. = Westminster Teacher.

THE BLESSED SABBATH.-Make the first
day Of the week bright, cheerful, sweet
day at home, and it will shed its radiance
on the other six days of work and play.
Do not limit its sacred freedom by domes-
tic " Blue Laws" which would make it
to the little ones anything bat "day Of
all the week the best" But with music
and prayer, with the Bible and other
good reading, with cheerful conversation
and gentle graces, with the glow Of the
altar and the spirit Of the sanctuary,
with thsnkfulness and love to God and
man, any Christian household can make
1T perpetual blessing to themselves and
to the community in which its lights are
kept burning.-Faith and Works.

Blair is gramarian and even knows
how to spell words with some degree
of accurcy.

boldest attempt at forgery that We
have seen. The cashier of the

written in Capt. Blair's handwriting.

and the trick has an exposure that
