One weary day my faint heart, sorely tried,
Broke out in murmurs and complaint:
"Ah me- the rocks loom up on every side.
And pillows break without restraint
And there is not one spot where can hide,
Though 1 am over borne and faintl"
And then soft voice, breathing DER my heart
flushed me to silence and l wept.
If but speak, the raging pillows part
And thou midst sunshine may'est be kept,
But at this price my Spirit must departl''
Rebellious still, my weak heart crept
A little nearer to the light. may, nay

Do Thou, in love and mercy, take away
But half the burden from my breast
Then, can surely feel the suns bright ray,
And meekly bear faiths crucial test p

The strength and pressure of the heat
Required to purge my gold, and overthrow
The subtle dross that sin makes sweet?

My sad heart wavered, but the rush and roar
Of angry waves that met my ear,
stirred me anew; " Dear Lord, my griefs are more
Than can bear, and oh, fear
What still the treacherous future holds in store
Grant me Thy strength oh, be Thou near!'

And wilt thou yet, not trust my love?

When all the powers of darkness strove
To gain my soul, and God was hid from me-

OF Gods just curse bore to set thee freer'
Upleaped my heart in trusting love: Dear Lord,
My faith is fixed, my doubts are o'erl
Come grief, come death, still can trust Thy word,

Presbyterian Literature.

MeSSrS. Editors, Allow me through
the columns of your paper to invite
attention to what seems to be two very
important wants of our Church. And I
write In the hope that the proper steps
will be taken in some quarter to supply
the desideratum.
In the first place then we need Pres
6yte'1a7a literature for the Sunday School
library. BY this is meant literature
which shall not only inculcate some of
the fundamentals of religion, but the en-
tire system of divine truth as we believe
1t to be. AT present, when the utmost
care is bestowed to exclude vicious and
trashy books, and we have collected our
library, what is the result? We have
set of story books, pointing for the most
part good religious moral, but entirely
neutral as to all those questions which
separate the great Protestant denomina-
lions. And they are intended so to be.
The shrewd publishers wish their books
to have general circulation, and to OBJ
tain this, they must be as well suited to
our Church as another. Now of course
these books are good in so far as they
tend to impress upon the mind of the
child any correct principle of religion.
But all the reasons for the separate ex-
istence of Presbyterian Sunday School,
are reasons why we should have in that
Sunday School a Presbyterian library.
We must teach Christianity as we hold
1T and believe it to be. We dare not
teach any more, nor any less. We need,
therefore, bright, attractive books which
shall be permeated with the genius of
Presbyterianism-books which shall pre-
possess the mind of the child in favor of
the doctrine, the order, the polity, the
discipline of the Presbyterian Church:
because these things we believe to be
Gods truth or derivable from it.
Our second want is Compendious
History of the Presbyterian Church. We
need history Of our branch of the Church
from time it was first known by the name
Presbyterian. There are volumes of
Church history, of vast learning and re-
search, from which one could gather
what is here alluded to. To do this
precise thing and put it in handy, at
tractive form, is the service the Church
asks Of some one of her sons. Ours is an
historic Church, but where is the writ
ten history?
These it would seem are two promi-
nent needs. To supply what is lacking
in this regard, should be special care

The Mediatorial Factor in
Prayer.
REV. S. E. ARSON, ROME, GA.

Prayer, says the Catechism, ais the Of
fering up of our desires to God for things
agreeable to his will, IN the name OF
Christ, with the confession of our sins
and thankful acknowledgment of his
mercies." The second clause in this ad-
mirable definition points to mediatorial
factor in prayer which men sometimes
disregard, but which cannot be too point
edly emphasized, because, without it
there cannot be any true prayer. In no
other way, except through Mediator,
will God treat with man in prayer !:
"There is one Mediator (and only one)
between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus" God does not present himself to
man as an object of worship in any other
way No man can come to the Father
but by me-" If a man will not come in
this way therefore he may not come at
all. 1t is very important therefore that
we understand the true import of the ex-
preston: "In the name of Christ" as
also the corresponding expressions: " For
Christ's sake, through Christ" and the
like. In such expressions as these it is
implied that there is something in Christ
which constitutes our warrant to come
into the presence of God as worshippers.
What is that precise thing? Is it not
Christs presidency, as high Priest over
all the worship Of Gods house? This is
the thought that is seized on by the au-
thor OF the epistle to the Hebrews: "Of
the things which we have spoken this is
the sum. We have an High Priest who
is set on the right hand of the throne of
the majesty in the heavens, a minister of
the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle.
which the Lord pitched and not man."
Again Having an High Priest over
the house of God let us draw near with
a true heart in full assurance of faith"
That is to say: Let us confirm our hearts
In the assurance that our worship of God
presided over, as it is, by this great High
Priest will be made acceptable.
We may learn a lesson here from the
order Of worship which God ordained for
the Jewish temple. That worship con-
sisted chiefly in the Offering Of sacrifices,
the sprinkling Of blood, and in prayers.
Over all these ceremonies high priest
presided This high priest was con-
secrated person, and forever separated
from the rest Of the people to signify the
sacred character Of both his person and
his work. The ceremony Of his congecra-
ton was peculiar. First, he was brought
to the altar, where bullock and two
rams were in readiness, and in the pre-
sence OF the congregation clean water
