Him That Belieyeth.

The gift of faith in God and in his Son,
our Savior, is the greatest Of all blessings.
1t may be called the gift Of God, since he
has been pleased to endow the hnman soul
with the ability or capacity of believing,
and to send Jesus, the Christ, into the
world the life from whom all spiritual life
is derived; the teacher embodying all truth
in himself. This capacity of trusting God,
and this blessed gift of his Son, are the
unconditional benefits of infinite love. No
finite being, human or angelic, suggested
these benefits call things are of God" So
also faith is divine gift in the SOUL
since all the motives to believe in Jesus
are revealed to us by the Father and all the
strivings of the Holy Spirit and likewise of
him; portion of the spirit is given to
every man to profit withal." But we are
taught with equal distinctness that each
soul must use its inward power; that to wait
for faith, without "stirring up the gift
within u.s. is snare of the evil one. GAN
things are possible to him that believeth,"
was the emphatic word of our Lord as the
father kuelt at his feet. Instantly the
voluntary choice of that father found its
appropriate expression, "Lord, | believe"
The whole incident discloses to us the fact
that faith is secured and increased in the
soul DN an exercise OF tnat inward power Oh
choice which God has committed to us.
We may speak his name in prayer or not /;
we may fall before him in the attitude of
humility, or not; such is the dignity of a
voluntary nature, and such is its response
bility. We may choose that society and
follow such pursuits as will effectually OBJ
struct the growth of faith We once
beheld the late Bishop James, standing before
a company of sincere penitents, who were
bowling in tears at the altar of a church.
Never can we forget his thrilling words:
Exercise, use the God-given power of
trust - he cried "Look up salvation is
provided take hold take hold Do not
wait /" Who has not found an increase of
faith in the encouraging exclamation Lord
| believe"2 And how often by dwelling
upon our weak faith" we thereby close
every avenue through which light may come
to us. O let us cherish words of hope and
cheer 1t is not presumption for a sincere
heart to say with feeling or without it,
"Lord, believe" " The debt is paid; the
ransom provided; nothing remains to be
done. "Believe," o sincere soul "Only
believe"

of the summer change is in the contrast il
enables us to put behind our ordinary lot
and life. II gives background for the
home picture that enhances its beauty and
enjoyment. II makes home seem precious
as recovered treasure, whose worth was
not recognized until IL was lost. 1t is TO re-
turn in such a mood, and still better, TO
keep the feeling fresh and vivid ever after.
Those coming home now find summer still
lingering in our skies, and dropping its heat
into the streets. They will need to practice
constant caution and judgment, until they
become acclimated anew. They would do
well, in coming, to set out with a more
definite purpose than ever to make their
home the brightest, the loveliest, the most
attractive and sacred place on earth to them
and theirs. There is no defence against the
vices and dangers Of modern civilization
like truly Christian home. 1t is the fort
ress of all the virtues, the nesting place of
all the sanctities. And nowhere else do the
improvements of art and the triumph of civ
ilization appear to such advantage as in the
homes of people cultivated and wise and
pure enough to make use Of them.

Coming Home.

1t has been truly said that one of the best
uses of going away from home in the sum
mer is the coming back again at the begin.
ming of autumn. And already the advanced
detachmeuts of our country and seaside
wanderers have begun to arrive. Every
train and steamer brings company of
bronzed and dustcovered pilgrims to take
up the dropped thread of life and resume
the customary round of occupation. Now
that the schools are about to begin, and the
general activities of the city to take their
autumnal start, people begin to be impa-
tent to get back again, and are only too
glad to cross the old threshold. They are
not sorry they went away, but were never
so glad to get back. They gained some
thing by the change, but their own home
cooked food never tasted so sweet, their
own clean beds never seemed so comfortable,
their own bathroom never appeared so luxu-
rious and refreshing, and their servants,
with all their faults, never were so obligiug
and faithful as after two months absence
in the country. Perhaps one great benefit

MUCH WATER HAS rLowEp."

Since the day when met her-when she was young,
And was only light-hared lad,
And fell in love with her careless tongue,
And pretty turn Of the head she had.
And once-ah me,
Could any one see =
I stood where the river runs down to the sea-
And thought of that pefuiant trick she had
TIL wished I were not such a worthless lad;
And thought Of the grace Of her pleasant tongue,
TIL | wished that were not quite 30 young.
Since the days when she grew a little shy,
And forgot the trick Of the pretty head;
Forgot the glance Of the wayward eye,
And dropped the lashes adown instead.
Once, long ago
Could any one know
asked her question, she answered low,
And we stood apart in the happy world,
Under the banner OF light, our love unfurled,
And kissed her lips e'er aet her free,
Where the moon kissed river must meet the sea.
Much water has flowed since those happy days,
Under the bridge where the waters meet,
Together we tasted of blame and praise,
And found that life is bitter and sweet.
And the tlme-ah mel
And all may see
Has left me white white may be.
But the love never be quenched by tears,
That grew to life in my wife's young years
And together we look down hopefully
To where the river has met the sea.

Where Lincoln Rests.

A correspondent of the Lsavenworth
Times, writing from Springfield, says at
would be difficult to imagine a lovelier spot
at this season of the year than Oak Ridge,
the last resting-place of Abraham Lincoln.
During the month Of June perhaps the throng
of visitors to the tomb is greater than at any
other time of the year. Almost any day
during the summer months the number of
visitors at the tomb will average from two
to five hundred persons. Excursionists
from every part of the west visit the capital,
the one gr at object of pilgrimage being to
gaze upon the monument of the illustrious
dead. The custodian of the monument is
John w. Powell, a nice looking old gentle
man, who it will be remembered, wrote a
most graphic description of Lincoln's funeral
cortege from the national capital to the last
resting-place beneath the shades of Oak
Ridge, Mr.. Powell takes charge OF the room
known as the Lincoln Memorial, located at
the base of the monument. Here upon the
stone walls hang the official coincidence from
the various crowned heads of Europe for
warded at the time when thrill of horror
ran through the land at the terrible tragedy
enacted. In glass cases are contained other
mementos of Lincolns earlier life, in shape
of surveying instruments, axes, pieces of

man in Illinois. The tools used by the des-
peradoes who attempted to rob the tomb
few years ago, copies of the presidents biog-
raphy, written by himself, photographs of
the lamented dead, of his old home in
Springfield and his tomb are what mostly
interest the visitor. Yet there are many
other articles to be seen in the memorial
room. A small price of admission is charged
to enter the memorial chamber, and from
this source a considerable sum of money
must be realized more than sufficient to pay
the custodian for his service and leave the
monument association at the end of each
year a handsome surplus. Among the visit
ors at the tomb at all seasons of the year
are members of the colored race, who seem
to iock in almost continuous numbers from
all parts of the country, to kneel at the
shrine of the man who did so much for their
