Patient waiting 20 loss, = is one Of the
worlds wise sayings /; and there is a world Of
wisdom IN it. They arc the losers who are
over-anxious for the morrow, dstrustful Of
the results of their honest efforts, and always
in worry becaase The looked for harvest of
gains does not come quickly enough Quiet,
steady Flooding. ID the great majority of
cases, and ID The long run, has much better
success than the impetuous haste and vep-
turous scramble of those that i" will be rich y
all in a hurry. And the cheerful endurance
of disappointment and delay, the continuance
in we'll doing, while returns are small and
prospects dull, brings far more of happiness
than fretful energy and frequent changes of
base in business.
This is piece of worldly prudence that
has the higher sanction and approval of the
Heavenly Wisdom. 1t comes recommended
to us by the Disposer of events, who sees the
end from the beginning, who can both rule
and ,over-rule affairs with stronger hand and
more certain skill than merchant princes and
railroad kings can boast; who tells us, of
Himself, that He ''frustrateth the counsels of
princes, and maketh the diyines mad
Let us listen and lean on His assurances
however long the night. however dark the
day, however great may seem the odds against
US. Trust in the Lord, SO shalt thou dwell
in the land and verify then shalt be fed. Rest
in the Lord, and waft patiently for him fret
not myself because of him who prospereth in
his way, because of the man who bringeth
wicked devices to pass. For evil doors shall
be cut off; but.those that wait upon the
Lord, they shall inherit the EARTH"
The Old Church Calendar has, for more
than 400 years, put together these two
Apostles, Simon and Jude, for joint commem-
Grafton, on the same day. Perhaps as an ex-
ample of Christian brotherhood, perhaps
simply because they were brothers after the
flesh; either way, the association illustrates
David's commentator of the blessedness of
brethren deoeliina together IN unity.
These brother Apostles appear to have been
nephews of Joseph, The husband of Mary, the
Mother of Jesus. Thus they were reckoned
to be His cousins, and SO are called 1.-The
Lords brothers, in the larger sense of that
word brother, which is common Bible usage.
Simon Gas distinguished fiom Simon Peter)
bears the app llation of Capaanite, zelotes, or
zealot the term having reference, 1T is
thought, to a Jealous sect of Pharisees, whose
religious enthusiasm, at a later date, ran into
fanatical fire and even violence. Jude is
variousy called Judas, Thaddeus, and Leb-
baeus. When S. John names him, be is at
the pains to add Not Iscariot," that SO he
may not be COMPOUNDED with the traitor
These Apostles have no marked prominence
in the Gospel narrative. EARLY Church his
tolians record S. Simon as preaching in Egypt
and North Africa, and s. Jude, in Persia
and both as laying down their lives for their
.dsord. IN "a gNa @
Ipthe time Of the prosecuting Domitian,
two grandsons of S. Jude were presented to
tue Emperor, as meriting death because hold
ing to the prescribed Christian religion Do
mitian, it is said, being as much afraid of the
name and power of Christ as Herod had been.
But when he had questioned these hard
handed men of toil-for such they were-and
learnt that the Kingdom of Dapid's Son was
not worldly or temporal but angelic and ce-
lestial, he scorned to harm them, and dismissed
them with contempt; caring little for the
things that are unseen and eternal, either to
desire or to dread them-ike all the men who
are satisfied toihave their portion in this life.
/. The epistle Of 3. Jude, short as it is,
breathes forth a holy energy, showing the
simple, strong faith gifts writer, who felt tne
"angelic and CELESTIAL aud the exceeding
wckedness and folly of sin, whether COM
mitred by the people Of Sodom, by Cain,
Balaam, the Devil, or the " Knockers in the
last time.n cel8}tN fs&i sftt4
Dear to the Christian heart is that beautiful
festival, set down for November l, in which
" the Saints Of all ages " and of every degree,
are had in loving and reverent memory.
S. Paul gives us the keynote asW are
compassed about with a great cloud of wit
nesses and are come unto the general assem-
bly, and church of the first born, and to the
spirits of just men made perfect" And
every several Christian choir on earth, may
sing its several hymn, In praise of the King of
Saints. and in grateful recollection of the holy
ones at rest, not only the Bible saints and the
great names ia history, bat also the sanity
ones of their own households and communi-
ties, who rest from their labors and are fol-
lowed by their works of piety, that live on
forever, blessing the earth aud honoring Him
that called them 'sHidden saints of God,
whose holiness was known within the narrow
est circle on earth, but who will shine like
stars in the armament before the throne"
