Love for God and Men

The want of wants is love for God
and men. Too many act as though they
were afraid of it in church life, though
there cannot be any church life without
love To love is the first privilege of
believers. az love God, and 1 love his
people, is familiar, but true witness
OF truly converted soul. Go about it
how you will, you cannot find better
test But love is not, in religion, merely
sentiment; it is an active principle that
prompts and guides the working hand.
With it churches save men without it
they lose themselves And such love
may be perfect. No other care, pursuit
or pleasure can rival or oppose it. It
reigns. 1t inspires all proper thought
fulness and helpfulness. The trouble
in your church is that this perfect love
is not among you fame of devotion
and an inspiration to work. The first
thing you need is more love, and then
more love. The love will do the rest,
lift be the divine fire in your hearts.

Selfshness.

There are some people SO grievously
selfish that they take as matters of right
or as things Of course every good and
perfect gift; and viewing themselves
more frequently from the little hill of
their own self-love than from the great
mountain of Gods free grace, no gift is
so great as to surprise them, no mercy is
so amazing as to make them thankful.
Like the Caspian Sea, which has some
unseen way of disposing of it's waters, SO
that whatever rains may come down, and
whatever rivers flow in its great gulf
never fills, and never a rill runs out
from it again; SO there is a greedy, all
devouring selfshness, which, whatever
rivers of pleasure flow into it, and what
ever mighty bursts of heaven descended
bounty exhaust their fulness over it, al
ways contrives to dispose of the whole of
1T IN the caverns and subterraneous pas
sages OF its capacious egotism-the vast
mare anterna1m of self-without one drop
Overlooking in kindness to man or graf
itude to God

A Crow Story.

From the fall of the snow to the pre-
sent, one of the Thoughtful matrons of
our town has regularly scattered the
crumbs from her table in the yard that
the hungry birds might be fed. At first
but few came to the banquet, but now
scores Of different kinds of winter birds
enjoy her bounty. Among the number is
a crow. At first he approached eau
tiously, as if aware that his feather was
under the ban. But after an unmolested
experience of several weeks he grew so
trustful as to eat bread from the hands of
little children. But still more remark
able is this: A few days ago that crow
brought with him to the premises lame
crow. The last conner sat on the garden
fence and cawed alarm. His guide fit
ted beside him, and, aften bowling to him
and quoting his fears, induced him to
trust himself in the garden walk. There
the guide strobe confidently toward the
repast, and the lame crow limped after
him; When the latter Jagged, the former
would turn and assure him of hospitable
treatment. The pantomime was as elo-
quent as speech, and quite as effective.
Presently both reached the spread and
enjoyed a square meal. Since then the
two crows make daily visits Tue

Its reward. Her companions blushed

A Practical Illustration of the
1.-THE system.

A few days ago the writer, in MAKING
up subscription for pastoral support 2
asked youth, not yet of legal age, how
much he wished to give? lie promptly
replied, "t'genty dollars" Knowing that
ne was employed at a small salary, and
with no means Independent of what he
earned, we were surprised at the amount
stated, and called his attention to the fact
that there would be other demands upon
him, Of neritorious character, besidestbe
Assembly g collections, and if his contri-
button to pastoral support, would prevent
him from giving to them, we would
prefer a smaller subscription to this OBJ
Ject, as the amount required could be
paid up by others. His reply was wor.
thy the consideration of every Christian
wish to give t0enty dollars to pas
toral support, and can do so without either
personal sacrifice or neglecting any other
proper claims. When 1 started out in
