The late venerable and eloquent DR.. Lo-
vick Pierce, who never missed o chance,
during a ministry of seventyfve years, to
do the negroes good, was preaching once
on Christian Progress at a camp-meeting
1t was his manner to make astonishing
climaxes now and then. On this occasion
he laid down the law of life and death in
Christian experience: Brethren, you
must grow or die. Progress you must
make. you can fly, fly; If you can't fly,
run; if you can't run, walk, ifyou can't
walk, crawl"
His voice was rising to its full trumpet
tones, and his eyes flashed as few eyes ever
flashed His right hand was still high ad-
vanced, Tho congregation trembled for
him, What could he say moreT But he
was the master OF such a crisis. He wound
up the sentence with an explosion like
"If you cant crawl-worm it
along!"

The Mormon Cl1nrell.

The Mormon church teaches that there are numerous gods, and that those who have been eminent as saints on earth become gods in heaven. Smith Is a god, and no doubt by this time Brigham Young has become something like that, too. The Mormons also believe that Jesus is just above Smith, and that Adam, in turn, Is superior to the SaNl
 All these gods have many wives, and each governs his own descendants, Sd that the glory of ''saint when he gets to be god depends largely on how many wives and children he has, and, there lore. the hold of polygamy on the o- ole.

Reserve Yonr Vitality.

A friend of Lord Paimerstoa oace, asked him when he considered a man to be in the prime of life. Seventy -nine," replied the old statesman. "But." he added with a smile, Gas have just en- tered my S0th year, perhaps I am my self little past it. On this reply Chambers JouiSsal makea the following remarks:
 How IS 1t that such men work on viz, orously to the end? Because they treas ure their ever-diminishing vital force. They studiously refrain from making a pull on the constitution. Reaching the borders of 70 years of age, they as good as say to themselves: I've must now, take care what we are about" Of course thsy make sacrifices, avoid number of treacherous gayeties and live simply.
 In other words, they conserve their vital force, and try to keep active as long as possible.
 Clustering natures, forgetful of the great truth that ''power itself hath not one-half the might of gentleness," miss the ends for which they-strive just be- cause the force that Is in them is not properly econonized. Then as regards temporary man who allows that to. master him wastes, as much energy as would enable him to remove the cause of anger or overcome an oppofent. The little boy of years old who in the coun- try is often seen driving 8 team of four immense dray horses IS one of the innu- merable instances of the power of reason over mere brute force, which should in- duce violent tempers to become calm from policy, if from no higher motive.

How to Spend Thanksgiving Day.

A good old Governor of the State of Maine, when he issued Fast-day procla- nation, more than fifty years ago, made up his mind to forego platitudes, and to tell his people just how, in his opinion, they ought to get ready to observe the day. This was his advice: |" recom- mend to each citizen to observe the day as Christian if he be under the infiu- ence of any vice, to banish it; if in er- TOT, to correct it; if under obligations to others, honestly to discharge them . if suffering injuries, to forgive them; ii aware of animosities, to extinguish them and, if able to do any benevolent act to any being created by the Almighty Power to which he owes existence and his faculties, to do it. ."-Sunday-Schooi Times.

Antiquity of tke Earth.

Theologians of every sect and creed had consistently taught that only some 5000 years had elapsed since the earth sprang into being. The suggestion oi its greater antiquity was received with 8 storm of theological opposition, which underwent little abatement during hall a century, and of which even yet the ground-sweu may occasionally be felt in some of the dark recesses of ignorant minds. The. majority of those who raised the storm were the social or pro fessional ancestors of these who now, evolution; but the change which has come over the latter races of conlbatants Is itself some proof evolution affects the minds of men, whatever 1t may do tc their bodies.

Dr. Pye Smith received the fellowship of the Royal Society for his well-meant endeavor to reconcile the Mosaic narrs- tive with the writings of the geoiogists, earning some hard names from the de lenders of the orthodox camp for his sup posed abandonment of their holy cause. Meanwhile, the geological batteries made sad breaches in the defenses of that camp. A late Dean of York valiantly confronted the assailing hosts when assembled in his cathedral city. Singly he faced his foes like new Horatius, but speedily fell beneath the sharp arrows of Sedg- w1ck's biting eIoquence.

GIVING AND LIVING.

 Forever the sun is pouring its gold On 6 hundred worlds that beg and borrow; His warmth he squanders on summits cold, His wealth on the homes of want and sorrow, To withhold his lsrgess of precious light Is to bury himself in eternal night
 To give
 Is to live. The flower shines not for itself at all, Its joy is the joy 1t freely diffuses; Of beauty and balm 1t is prodigal, And it lives in the light it freely loses No choice for the rose but glory or doom, To exhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
 To deny
 Is to die. The seas lend silvery rays to the land, The land its sapphire stream to the ocean; The heart sends blood to the brain of command, The brain to the heart its lightning motion; And over and over we yield our breath, I'll the mirror Is dry and image is death.
 To live
 Is to give He Is dead whose hand is not open wide To help tho need of g human brother; Re doubles the length of his lifelong ride Who gives his fortunate place to another; And thousand million lives are his Who carries the world in his sympathies-
 Te deny
 Is to die.
