Sharp.Cut and DOctrinal.

Mark what say If you want to do good
in these times you must throw aside indie
cision and take up distinct, sharply-cut
doctrinal religion. If you believe little,
those to whom you try to do good will be-
lieve nothing. The victories OF Christianity,
wherever they have been won, have been
won by distinct doctrinal theology; by tell
ing men roundly OF Christ's vicarious death
and sacrifice; by showing them Christ's
substitution on the cross, and his precious
blood; by teaching them justification by
faith, and bidding them believe on cru
Gifted Saviour by preaching ruin by sin,
redemption by Christ, regeneration by the
Spirit by lifting up the brazen serpent
by telling men to look and live-to believe,
repent and be convert I'd. This-this is the
only teaching which, for eight zen centuries,
God has honored with success, and is hon
oring to-day, both at home and abroad. Let
the clever advocates OF broad and uudog-
matte theology-the preachers of the gospel
OF earnestuess and sincerity and cold NOR
ality-let them, say, show us at this day
any English village, or parish, or city, or
town, or district, which has been evangel-
lied without dogma" by their principles.
They cannot do it, aud they never will,
Christianity without distinct doctrine is a
powerless thing.-Ryle.

"Dead on the Field Of Honor"

A few weeks ago, a steamer, with hun
dreds of men and helpless women and chill.
dren, was on fire within few miles of New
York. The captain, finding that nothing
could be done to save her, tsok the wheel
and ran her aground, and kept her steady
there, with the deck burning below him and
the flames licking his face and the hands
with which he held her, until the last man
had a chance to save himself. 1t was the
old story of Jim Bludsoe I'll hold her
nozzel agen the bank till the last galoots
ashore" This man did it. A reporter
found the captain few days later in hos
pital his burned head swathed in bandages.
1t was supposed that he would lose both his
eyes. "All the worlds praising you," said
the visitor. al am glad they think was not
lacking in duty. l did what seemed the
right thing to do at the time" said the sailor
quietly. A short time since, a leak occurred
in the Hudson River Tunnel. In an instant,
twenty-eight men found death facing them
and death in the most horrible, hopeless
form. They must be choked underground
like rats in a hole, with water and mud

Another Good BOy.

A Detroit grocer was the other day hun
grily waiting for his clerk to return from
dinner and give him chance at his own
monday meal when boy came into the
store with basket in his hand and said
al seed boy grab up this ere basket from
the door and run, and 1 run after him and
made him give it up" "My lad, you are an
honest boy" "Yes, SIR" "And you look
like good boy" " Yes, SIR" And good
boys should always be encouraged. In a
box in the back room there are eight dozen
eggs. You may take them home to your
mother and keep the basket" The grocer
had been saving those eggs for days and
weeks to reward some one. In rewarding a
good boy he also got eight dozen bad eggs
carried out of the neighborhood free of cost,
and he chuckled little chuck as he walked
homeward. The afternoon waned, night
came and went, and once more the grocer
went to his dinner When he returned he
was picking his teeth and wearing CON-
placent smile. His eye caught basket Of
eight dozen eggs as he entered the store, and
he queried :" Been buying some eggs?'
Yes got hold of those from farmer boy
replied the clerk. GA lame boy with blue
cap on ?" Eyes" 1.-TWO front teeth out p
"Yes." The grocer sat down and examined
the eggs. The shells had been washed clean
but they were the same eggs that good boy
had lugged home the day before.-SeLected

Thy Will be Done.

1t is only in secondary sense that suffer-
ing can ever be said to be the will of God.
His wish is expressed in his laws obedi-
ence to his laws brings health and happiness
and peace; disobedience brings suffering.
His will is that men should obey his laws
but that if they do not they shall suffer.
The suffering is warning against disobe
dience, and dissuasive from it. 1t is true
that men are so linked together by ties of
hereditary and of social organization that
suffering may come upon one as result OF
the disobedience of my ancestors or of my
neighbors. Sometimes by diligence and pa
tience can reach the causes of this suffer-
ing and remove them; when can, that is
my duty when | cannot, then right, reason
and filial trust call on one to submit. Sup
pose come into the world with hereditary
tendency to consumption or paralysis, the
result of disobedieuce of some Of my ances-
tors to the laws of health. Now, it may be
possible for me, by prudence and temper
ance, to counteract these tendencies, and to
preserve and confirm my health. There are
remedial and restorative forces in my phys
ical system that may repair the damages
that may have been entailed upon me, if
those damages are not too serious. 1t is
my business to give these remedial forces
chance to do their proper work. They are
the highest and most perfect expression in
my nature of the will of God; and it is this
part of the will of God that l must be most
careful to have done. But it is possible that
the injuries which | have inherited are 30
serious that the natural remedial forces will
not repair them, no matter how great care
may exercises when this is so, | must sub
nit. Shall say that the suffering which
endure as consequence of these inherited
injuries, by which my days are burdened
and my life shortened, comes upon me by
the will of God? Yes; there is no other
way of explaining it. 1t is in the nature of
things that disobedience should bring suffer-
ing, not only to him who destroys but often
to his children, and children's children for
many generations; and the nature of things,
as Mr.. Joseph Cook says, is the outcome
of Gods choice" The universe is so made
that sin not only inficts but entails suffer-
ing; and God made the universe. The suf-
fering that is inherited is not, however, pen
atty; it is no sign that God is displeased
with me; it may be means OF grace to me,
| if will rightly use it. And this is where
| the duty of submission comes in; the pa
tient endurance of ills that cannot be mended
is part of the divine discipline in which we
must all be exercised. There are plenty Of
pains and infirmities that we are not to
biame Tor, anu tnat we cannot help we
may not always understand the reason Of
| them, but we do know that the God under
whose wise laws they are visited upon us i:
infinite love, and that in some way, if We
rightly use them, they will work together
for good to us; and therefore, in the midst
of such suffering, we are ready to say tc

Lords Prayer" by Washington GLADDEN..

Small Expenses.

Men are continually indulging in small
expenses, saying to themselves, that it's only
a trife, yet forgetting that the aggregate is
serious, that even the seashore is made up of
petty grains of sand. Ten cents day is
even thirty-six dollars and half year, and
that is the interest of capital of six hun
dred dollars The man that saves ten cents
day only is so much richer than he who
does not, as il he owned life estate in
house worth six hundred dollars and if in
vested quarterly, does not take half that
time. But ten cents day is child's play,
some will exclaim. Well, then, John Jacob
Astor used to say that when man who
wishes to be rich has saved ten thousand
dollars he has won half the battle. Not that
Astor thought ten thousand much, but he
knew that, in making such sum, man ac-
quired habits of prudent economy, which
would keep him advancing in wealth. How
many, however, spend ten thousand in few
years in extra expenses, and then, on look
ing back, cannot tell, as they say, "where
the money went to-" To save is to get rich.
To squander, even in small sums, is the first
step towards the poor-house.

Enough for Him.

The tide is turning at last. A young man
in Nelson county, Iowa, armed himself with
a revolver and sailed out to shoot a young
woman who had declined the offer of his
hand. But she was up to snuff She read
the papers, and had frequently seen accounts
of similar affairs, quietly resolving that no
discarded lover could make victim OF her,
not if the court, or rather the courted, under
stood herself. When the young man arrived
at the house on his deadly mission, he found
the fair but cruel one in the kitchen doing
the weeks ironing. She didn't appear to
suspect anything, and he expected to have
an easy time preparing her for the coroner !;
but when he reached around to the pistol
pocket, with the remark that her time had
come, she stated, 4" | guess not" and knocked
him down with the flatiron, demolishing his
noss and front teeth. Then she gave him
the scalding contents of a tea-kettle that
was singing cheerful air on the stove, and
when the family came in she was mopping
the floor with him. The next time he pro-
poses and is refused he will probably con-
clude that that settles it.-Saturday Night

The Lord Answers PRAYER.

A little more than year SINCE my health
began TO fail, so that early in the spring
called the physician who, after trial, found
he did me no good. | called another and
still another. My appetite was now all gone
and whatever was taken into my stomach
gave me such distress that hunger was much
to be preferred to eating My head was so
affected that to study or even read was be-
yond possibility. AT night | could not
rest; by day | was unable to keep about
without an hour or two of lounging. / was
losing flesh so fast that my friends became
quite anxious and my physician in Portland
advised me, as the only remedy, to resign
my pastorate and do no reading or studying
for at least a year. This ! could not do,
but was losing strength every day. This
passage of Scripture (James VI 15,) "The
prayer of faith shall heal the sick" etc., was
constantly before my mind. saw no reason
why the Lord might not "heal the sick "
now, in these latter days. As | read again
and again Gods promise became confirmed
in my belief that the Lord could make me
whole. On the 18th OF September, with an
unwavering faith, asked God to fulfill his
word in me. In moment, while | was yet
asking, my strength returned, my health was
restored and / was "every whit whole"
Since that day have felt none of my former
illness; have attended to my duties can
eat, study and enjoy life as before was
sick. In the first FIVE days ! gained six
pounds Of flesh since that day I have gained
twenty-five pounds, to my usual weight, for
the last five years. We believe God hears
prayer. know he heard and answered my
petition. But more than this, new life has
been infused into my soul, and !, to-day, base
all my expectations on this aud other like
passages in Gods Word. "What things
soever ye desire, when ye pray believe that
ye receive them, and We shall have them

"All hail the Power Of Jesus name;

Tho Power Of Faith.

1t was faith in Christ that made Peter
and John stand up so boldly before the Jew
ish council and confess their NJ sster without
fear of consequences, saying, "There is
none other name given under heaven among
men whereby we can be saved" 1t was
faith in Christ's words of eternal life that
made Paul come out from Judaism, spend
his life in preaching the gospel, and say on
the brink of the grave, / know whom l
have believed, and that he is able to keep
that which have committed to him against
that day." 1t was faith in Christ's words
of eternal life " that made Bishop Hooper
go boldly to the stake at Gloucester, after
saying Life is sweet and death is bitter !;
but eternal life is more sweet and eternal
death is more bitter" 1t was faith in Christi s
"words of eternal life that made Nicholas
Ridley and Hugh Latimer endure fiery
death in Broad street. Oxford, rather than
deny the principles of the Reformation. 1t
was faith in Christ's " words of eternal life
which made Henry Martyr turn his back on
ease and distinction at Cambridge, to go
forth to tropical climate, and die soli-
tary death as missionary. 1t was faith
in Christ's words of eternal life which
made that honorable woman Catherine Tail,
as recorded in that touching biography, re-
sign five children in five weeks to the grave, in
the full assurance that Christ would keep
his word, take care of them both in body
and soul, and bring them with him to meet
her at the great day.-Selecied.

Genius for Helping Folks"

"There is man." said his neighbor,
speaking of village carpenter, who has
done more good really believe, in this COM
munity, than any other person who ever
lived in it. He cannot talk very well in
prayer-meeting, and he doesn't often try.
He isn't worth two thousand dollars, and its
very little that he can put down on subscrip-
ton papers for any other object But new
family never moves into the village that he
does not find them out, to give them a neigh
borly welcome, and offer any little service
he can render. He is usually on the lookout
to give strangers seat in his pew at church.
He is always ready to watch with sick
neighbor, and look after his affairs for him
and I've sometimes thought he and his wife
kept house plants in winter just for the sake
of being able to send little bouquets to in
valids. He finds time for a pleasant word
for every child he meets, and you'll always
see them climbing into his one-horse wagon
when he has no other load. He really seems
to have genius for helping folks in all sorts
of common ways, and it does me good every
day just to meet him on the streets. Chris

Sense AbOut Our Schools.

The New York Examiner and Chronicle
one of the leading religious journals of the
country, in recent article says
"The public school system is one Of the distinc.
tive features Of American life. No theory is
dearer to our citizens rs a whole than the theory
which underles the public school, namely that
it is essential to the perpetuity Of institutions
that the state should establish and maintain
schools in which the children OF the poorest can
obtain as good an English education as Is possible
to the children Of the richest. The interest Of in
teligent men has been tagging Of late years with
regard to this school question Recent events
have given 1t fresh rousing, and the result is al
most certain to be beneficial. To be awake TO our
defects is necessity II we would remedy them
So long as there was a general feeling of COM
pacency in the results Of our public school SYSTEM
evils waxed and defects went unremedied. But
when it was found that many OF the boys and
girls who went through the schools could not
write decently spelled and expressed letter,
could not practically apply the simple rules OF
arithmetic TO business transactions, or read aloud
in an intelligent way any selection from current
literature there was a revulsion OF feeling which
in some cases has gone to extremes. The result,
however, Is likely to be increased efficiency and
better methods Of instruction, rather than any
startling changes-reform rather than revolution"
When our public schools do reach the
point at which they begin to give to the
children of the poorest as good an English
education as is possible to the children of
the richest" we shall have right to boast
of them. The distance that now exists in
this respect is the exact distance which
ought to exist between humiliation and
