There is probably no more dramatic or
suggestive sight in the world than that
which is offered almost daily on the wharves
of our Atlantic seaport cities, at the landing
of steamers loaded with emigrants. The
eager crowd Of adventurers from every
country in the world hurry on shore, casting
wistful, hopeful glances around. Here at
last is the unknown world TO which they have
looked for years, out of poverty, oppression
and degradation. Here is new future for
them and their children. 1t is a curious
study to note the preparations which these
poor creatures have made for their new life.
Some of them evidently have informed
themselves accurately as to the climate, oc-
cupations, customs and needs of this coun-
try, and come prepared at every point to
take their place as helpful members of soci-
ETY.. They have brought nothing but tools
which they can use. They have done their
best to gain the health, skill and knowledge
which will ensure happiness here. Others
come numbered with worthless belongings of
their past lives-clothes which they cannot
wear, tools which are of no use in this coun-
try. And still others come because they are
sent, knowing and caring nothing for their
new home penniless, ragged, unclean and
vicious, soon to find their proper place in
our almshouses and prisons. Something in
the aspect of this strange crowd, grouped
upon the wharf in the early morning light,
reminds us Of that voyage which every liv-
ing man or woman must make some day to
an unknown land, wherein lies the future
| for all of us. We have no map of that
country no history. Not single traveller
of all the millions that have crossed to its
coasts has ever returned to bring us tidings.
| But we do know, as certainly as the sun
shines on us, that the light will rise upon a
| day when we shall be called to cross over the
| dark sea to that farther shore. We do
know, too, what things we must take with
us to secure happiness yonder; cleanliness
Of mind and heart; the strength drawn
from steady trust in God the health which
comes from noble affections and unselfsh
living while we are here. Knowing this,
why do we cling frantically even up to our
last moment here to the poor garments, the
worthless chattels, the tools which serve us
nothing in that faroff country, and which
we know we shall be forced to leave upon
this hither shore Or why should we
choose to go like psuper emigrants, filthy,
diseased and vicious, to that land where a
noble company of all ages wait for us Ii
is the time now for us to choose how we
shall go soon it will be altogether too late

closed this article without saying distinctly
that in making reference TO the greater adj
vantage Of capital distributed among the in
dustrious working community, over capital
concentrated in vast masses, held by few
men, we are suggesting no communism"
no dividing the wealth of the rich amongst
the poor, however worthy or industrious
No poor man is likely to be much benefited
by "windfalls Of that nature. We must
all rise or fall in the scale of wealth accord
ing to our ability, our industry and our de-
sire for property. But what we are in favor
of is the undoing of all that class-legisla-
tion which grants great and valuable privi-
leges TO men who are already smarter and
richer than the average of men. These
natural advantages ought to satisfy them,
without seeking extra aid in the form Of
charters and grants comforting privileges and
monopolies such as have given origin to the
regiments of millionaires that have sprung
up in America during the last twenty years.
Our platform on this point is one that used
in New England TO be an undisputed one :
"Equal rights to all, exclusive privReges to
none" BY departing from that, we have
turned the profits of all business into the
hands of few,-the "big fish, that eat
up the little ones,-and the end is, land of
rich men who own everything, and of poor
men, who soon will have not even the liberty
of complaint without punishment by the
loss of their means of living. Less than a
century, as we are headed now, will max g
America less free than Russia under her czar.

Preparation for Church.

Probably for many households the hours
before church are hurried, tumultuous and
undevout The family rise late, and break
fast is tardy. The parents have not fully
recovered from the fatigue OF the business
or pleasure on Saturday night. The first
bell peals out its summons before anybody
feels ready to hear it, and the progress to
the place of prayer is a scramble to arrive
before the opening anthem shall have been
concluded. DR.. Arnot of Scotland used to
beg his people to spend the hour before
coming TO church in reading, meditation and
prayer. If it were the habit Of our congre-
cations thus prepared in heart TO go to the
sanctuary, how different might be the i'm,
pressions made on them by sermons and
public prayers. Had every disciple made
the pastor, the week long, the subject of
reverent, anxious, earnest prayer, would not
the pastor enter the pulpit clothed with
power from ON high, and would not the ben
ediction return with tenfold largeness on
the worshipers themselves Y-Chrstian In,
ielliQencer.

Johns Conversations with Mary.

In public discourse, not long since, upon
the Gospel of John, DR.. Richard S. Storrs
brought out what seemed to him as it seems
to us, new thought. And it is this After
Christs crucifixion, John took Mary home
to live with him as though she were his own
mother. And would they not converse often
and freely, concerning Jesus her divine Son,
Johns revered Master And could it be
otherwise than that these frequent and full
communions concerning him should have
had a very deep and permanent effect upon
the latter 80 that when in the evening of
life he sat down to compose his Gospel, it
should influence his style and much of his
subject matter This thought of Doctor
Storrs seems to us to be beautiful one
and no less true than beautiful. Think of
John the strong and loving young disciple
of Jesus bidding the stricken mother of
our Lord to dry her tears and take him as
son in place of her gloriied one. Think
of the opportunities of these two, mother
and son, to know the inner life of Jesus.
How delightedly would John listen, and how
gladly would Mary tell, not to the world,
but to him, best beloved of the twelve, the
disciple whom his Master drew nearest TO
himself, every minute detail in the early life
of Christ. How gladly would he learn from
her lips the soul-history of her wonderful
Son, the words of wisdom and of love which
he had uttered in his daily contact with the
members of the loved home circle. Mary
must have seen deeper into his heart, under
stood better, and thought more about Jesus
words, than any other human being at that
time. Who could so know the heart of
son, even divine son, as devoted mother
To whom would he be so likely TO speak of
his hopes and fears, of his struggles and
aspirations, as to that mother who bore him
and tenderly loved him even unto death
That mother swift TO hear but slow to speak,
who listened and hid his words in her heart,
ponderng what it all meant and what might
he yet be and do. And then, when his hour
came, and his mission was revealed, and he
stood confessed before his wondering, ador-
ing, loving disciples and his mother as Son
| Of God as well as son of man. Who, then,
would better remember his deeper sayings
concerning his divine work, and his mission
on earth than she, who for time had suf-
fered that nameless horror when well-mean.
ing Joseph almost decided TO put her away
She, his pure, virgin mother, could now re-
j1ice in his exhibitions of Divinity, and
through the after years, while Johns guest,
live over these experiences and come TO
realize more and more clearly his earthly
mission mans woe and want, and Christ's
cleansing blood. And can we not see now
how, sixty years after the event, when Mary
doubtless had passed away years before,
John with his mind freighted with these
precious memories was able TO write that
wonderful Gospel which opens to every
Christian the heart of his Sayiour.-GOlden
