Decision.

DR.. Raymond. the organizer, and for
fourteen years the President of Vassar
College, thus writes of crisis in his
mental and moral life which occurred in
his twentv-first year: -.--. -
"With all my speculations on the
subject of religion. I knew that l had
never given it an investigation. It's
personal claims 1 had never weighed
fairly, fully, or with any view to a prac-
teal compliance with its demands.
Was it not reasonable that l should ?
Could l nationally neglect the matter?
Could l ever expect more favorable
opportunity thanswas thus offeredp
awakened reason pleaded, with a
calm but now intense and searching
voice. Infinite interests are at stake.
Act nationally You are possibly ex-
posed to the loss of an infinite good.
The bare possibility of such q calamity
is, of itself, amatter of Infinite moment.
A serious investigation may resolve
probably into certainty, and the truth
or error of the religious life may be re-
vaaled.
"'The solution of such a problem
will justify tne employment of all time,
and the sacrifice of every temporal
good, for when an in finite interest is at
stake, no finite interest can reasonably
weigh feather against it.
"The struggle was long and intense,
but thank God that reason for once
triumphed. | deliberately re-
solved to lay aside everything else, and
devote at least the ensuing fortnight TO
a final settlement of my opinions on
the subject OF religion, and the adop-
ton of a line of conduct in relation to
it which my reason would Justify. Be-
fore retiring that night made the fol-
lowing entry in my Comment-Book:'
is the religion of Christ delu-
sion, or is it notP / fear to think it is,
and L fear 70 think it is not. For, if it is
reality, it is an awful one to me; and if
it is nothing but a mockerv, what is the
truth? What am L? Whittier am l
tending? For what purpose is exist
ence? To-what end shall direct it?
BY what principles ofeaction shall it be
governed en-. i...fs-.E q
".These are questions, in every re-
spect deserving of attention. Shall l
give attention to them? l Ought
must-I will And here l record my
fixed resolution 10 embrace and act up
on the truth, whatever L discover it to
be. And Thou, my God and Maker
if such being exist and take an inter-
est in the interest of His creatures -
witness here my determination; lead me
to the truth, and fix me on it firmly and
forever"
Candid Investigation and serious
thought followed. From these came
the conviction that the religion of Jesus
Christ embodfcs the highest and most
important truths that relate to human
life. and that it should, therefore, not
be simply respected, but its principles
should be made to govern human mo-
tives and human conduct. He resolved
to follow where reason led. The, crisis
had beenMet d ully.s. nationally. The
life that f6llowed proved the wisdom Of
his decision, for until its close, in 1873,
it was truly Christian-and therefore
useful, manly, noble. Conlpa,a-
ion.

Sunday.Sch0ol Lessons
The Visible and the Invisible.


The following are extracts from a
recent sermon by Rev. DIR. Lorimer, of
Chicago:
The things which are seen are temporal: but
the things which are not seen are eternal.-IE
Cor. H., Is.
The apostle Paul, having spoken of
the perpetual renewal of the immortal
and the decay of the mortal, having
magnified the office of tribulation in
preparing the soul for an endless and
measureless weight OF glory, and hav-
ing also touched ON the wondrous min
istry of the unseen in the world OF the
seen, he advanced in his climax the
very broad and general proposition that
things visible are evanescent and things
invisible are enduring.
If the visible is evanescent and the
invisible eternal, we should be more
deeply intent on cultivating what is
within these tenements of clay than on
winning what is without. The Bible
urges on our attention the importance
of soul renewal. bids us purify our
thoughts, cleanse the sources of con-
duct, and seek conformity 70 the image
OF the holy and blessed Christ 1t turns
our eyes within, insists on self-scrutiny,
and directs us to the fount of healing
and to the sacred Author of .regenera-
ticn. The practice of society is diametr
rically opposed to this. Men and
women are concerned about exter-
nails: What they shall eat. what
they shall wear, what position
gain, enlist their energies and secure
their homage. Even Christians as a
rule, can not plead guiltless to this
charge. Is it q SANDER to say that the
large majority of them pay infinitely
more attention to the body than the
soul? Think of the care that is lavished
on the flesh. How dainlily it is fed,
how delicately it is nurtured, how ele-
gantly it is clothed, how comfortably it
is housed, and how its every want, is
anticipated. and its every pain as
suaged Wealth is taxed to minister
to its enjoyment, and six days of the
week, and no small portion Of the
seventh, are devoted to its welfare But
rs for the soul, it is fed on a few hur-
riedly- devoured scraps of Holy Writ
each morning. and It may congratulate
itself if it obtains even these. and it is
allowed to shiver in the winds of neg
lect, and to display its spiritual indi-
gence through the tatters of beggarly
profession. "A few dollars spent each
year on the soul, thousands on the
body; few hours devoted to the cult
ure of the soul. days and nights conse-
Grated to the body. Such is the usual
division, if that can be called division
which goes mainly in one direction; and
thus does the lower usurp the place due
in reason to the highest. | say in rea-
son, for does not our reason testify that
if the outward man perishes, the in
ward man should esps cially receive our

who are suffering with rheumatism and
similar complaints, as the best remedy that
can be had. Nothing has done me SO much
good, and as it only costs fifty cents bottle,
oil can try it.

Summer Grape-Pruning.

About this, as in nearly every other
horticultural sub Jet, there is consider
able difference of opinion. We have
known vines to be ''pruned to death"
in following out some wild theory that
some adslle headed fellow had started,
while others would prune so sparingly
as to be of no benefit at all. Many
strip the vines of three-fourths their
leaves to allow the sun and air to get
in, as they say. while others allow the
grapes to be smothered for want of a
judiciouS removal of the leaves. Pinch
ing the ends off the vines. or clipping
off portion of the sprouts when they
are grown rampantly, SO far as it APP
pears to be necessary to any reasonable
Judgment, will greatly benefit the crop,
just as the reverse will damage it. The
thinning-Out of the surplus punches, by
removing from Il third to hall of them
as they usually show themselves, is of
the greatest Importance. In doing
this be sure always to remove the
weakest and most imperfect. The
laterals of the truit-bearing branches,
which have been pinched or clipped, will
throw out more branches, and these
also should be pinched SO as to leave
only single leaf. The laterals on the
canes, remember, are to be the fruit
bearing canes for next year. and should
be allowed to grow unchecked. Care
must be taken to tie up such of the
branches containing punches which are
too heavy to bear their own weight
There should, also, be more wood al
lowed to grow than is needed for the
following years fruiting.
These simple general hints may be of
service to those whose knowledge of
grape growing is limited. In Il little
while-a few years OF experience. which
can be greatly added by examining
the way that good grape growers follow
will soon put one in the plain road to
success. -GernantOWn Iclegraph
